RS485 Piggy-Back

Plant monitoring and communication with Piggy-Back

The RS485 wiring for plant monitoring and communication allows functional lengths of up to 1200 meters. The Sunny WebBox collects all the data and informs you about the status of the PV plant. With Piggy-Back the data transmission is reliable even in interference-prone areas. Subsequent expansions are possible without problem thanks to the modular design principle.

Grounding set "positive"

When using thin-film or rear-side contact PV modules, it may be necessary to ground the positive or negative connection of the PV array. Our grounding set offers you the perfect solution for this.

The grounding set provides you with the following advantages:

  • The set is available for both the positive and also negative grounding.
  • Internal grounding saves time by making it unnecessary to change external generator cabling.
  • The grounding is fused by an internal thermal fuse and therefore provides additional safety (fire protection).
  • The grounding sets can be seamlessly integrated into the inverter. This completely preserves the insulation monitoring. This important safety feature of SMA devices can identify possible insulation faults within the generator.

 

Your module manufacturer can provide you with up-to-date information on the necessity and type of grounding.
