SINVERT PVS in power plants16
Establishing communication with PVS and system components
Communication via Industrial Ethernet and plant monitoring with WinCC
Integration of SINVERT PVS inverters into a photovoltaic plant with communication via an Ethernet network, solar PV plant control by means of the
SINVERT PVS ControlBox 300, and monitoring with WinCC
The inverter stations have an Ethernet interface. If the inverter
station is linked to an Ethernet network, this interface permits
the exchange of data between the inverter station(s) and the
WinCC visualization system on a Microsoft Windows PC. The
data server on the ControlBox 300 collects the data from all
the inverters.
Remote access to the WinCC visualization system is also possible
over the Internet if the WinCC WebNavigator software has
been installed.
SINVERT PVS ComBox 100
The SINVERT PVS ComBox 100 communications box intercon-
nects the inverter stations (in linear or ring topologies) with
copper or fiber-optic LAN cabling and also connects network-
capable components in the inverter stations, e.g. SINVERT PVS
inverters.
The ComBox 100 has the following connection options:
–4 x RJ45 ports
– 2 x fiber-optic ports, for cable lengths up to 5 km
SINVERT PVS ControlBox 300
The purpose of the SINVERT PVS ControlBox 300 is to regulate
the active and reactive power of a photovoltaic plant containing
SINVERT PVS inverters and to ensure compliance with legal
requirements (according to the current amendment of the
Renewable Energy Act (EEG), in force since January 2009).
