Remote Communications
The Xantrex GT250 has the ability to provide remote communications using
optional modems for system monitoring or data logging through a personal
computer using the Xantrex GT View Graphic User Interface (GUI) software.
Graphic User Interface (GUI) Software
The GUI software provides a windows-based interface program that accesses,
monitors, and controls the features and functions of the unit. The GUI also
provides additional data logging and tracking features which are not available
through the UFCU. If multiple inverters are networked together, the software is
capable of tracking up to 50 inverters on the same network.
The PC can be connected to the unit remotely. Before installing the GUI software,
it will be necessary to determine and establish the proper communication from a
service provider.
PC Connection Methods
A personal computer can be connected by remote connection using one of the
following options.
Modem A personal computer can be connected using the optional modem
communication kit. This kit is field-installed in the AC interface.
Modbus A user selectable RS485/Modbus connection is also available for remote plant
monitoring. The CCU2 controller board within the Xantrex GT250 may be
configured for RS485 serial communication using the Modbus protocol.
