Enter the values for the set point curve under: Q(U) Curve. 6.6.2. Relay Configuration[1] [Plant] When grid management box is selected as reference value, configure the discrete inputs K1 – K4.
6. Setup Over-excited energy is always displayed above the horizontal axis, and under-excited energy below the axis. The curve ends are always horizontal, meaning that the inverters will operate with the first set point (1) below that power or voltage level and with the last set point (9) above that power or voltage level. The reference for the grid voltage is measured on the grid side of the master inverter. The reference for the plant output power is calculated by the master inverter.

All message types are disabled as default. 6.7.1. Recipient[0] [Plant] To use the TripleLynx CN Pro messaging functionality, define at least one message recipient by name and language. A maximum of 10 recipients can be defined. By default, each recipient receives all available message types from the inverter.
6. Setup 6.7.2. Yield[0] [Plant] Check the 'Enable' option to activate yield notification. Select yield notification interval: Daily, weekly monthly or yearly. Example: Day yield - #plant name# (27.04.2008) = 325.648 kWh 6 Illustration 6.20: Yield 6.7.3. Event[0] [Plant] If the inverter fails to supply energy to the grid, it will generate an event. Activate event notification to send out a notification containing a short event text together with an event id, either via e-mail or sms.
6. Setup Note: Read the inverter event checklist in the TripleLynx CN User Manual before calling service. A table describing the different events and the corresponding event texts which the inverter can generate can also be found here. 6.7.4. DW Upload[0] [Plant] For e-mail or sms notification of a data warehouse (FTP upload) failure, select 'Enable'. The notification includes an event code. For more information about event codes, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual. 6 Illustration 6.
6. Setup 6.7.5. Performance Ratio[0] [Plant] The follower inverters in the network will use the value from the irradiation sensor connected to the master inverter for their performance ratio calculation. When follower inverters are installed in a different environment than the master inverter, individual irradiation sensors can be connected to them to obtain a more accurate calculation of the performance ratio. Select 'Enable' to receive notification when performance ratio falls below a limit value.
6. Setup Illustration 6.25: Data Overwrite 6.7.8. Plant Status[0] [Plant] Check 'Enable' to activate a plant status e-mail on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
