Data Logging
The inverter stores data values and software metrics for debugging. These
values are stored within the control unit controller board in non-volatile memory.
Data logging access requires the use of an optional monitoring connection.
The data logging features include:
• Operational Values
• Internal Metrics
• Data Log Acquisition
• Graphic Data Analysis
• Fault Log Acquisition
Monitoring Connection Methods
Computers can be used to access the system status, control and programming
features of the Xantrex inverter. Computers can be connected either directly or
remotely. Software is available to provide a graphic user interface that relates
important system information using the appropriate optional hardware and
software. This software is called Graphic Interface (GUI).
Direct Access Connection
The Xantrex inverter can be directly accessed by a computer or other RS232
devices. This connection requires using the optional RS232 Converter kit. The kit
contains an RS232/FO converter configured for PC use with an adapter, a DB9/
DB25 serial cable and a fiber optic harness.
Remote Access Connection
The Xantrex inverter can be remotely accessed through several methods such as
a Local Area Network (LAN). Optional hardware and software is needed for these
features.
