Each SOLPLUS inverter features a number of interfaces and communication ports via which the data
of the inverter can be read out. A total of approximately 300 inverter parameters can be read out.
The data provided by the inverter are divided into the following categories:
1. Yield and display values: These values represent the instantaneous values of the inverter.
They are actual values and display values that cannot be altered.
2. Setting values: These are values that can be set and altered individually. Depending on the
importance and meaning of the parameters, these values can be set by the end customer,
the fitter or the utility company. For security purposes, different password levels are
incorporated.

be able to change parameter values on the PC.
There are other passwords that enable the fitter or utility company to make safety-relevant settings.
Fitters have to request these passwords from Solutronic.
17/29
8.1 Customised protection of the inverter settings

To protect the inverter and its parameter settings against unauthorised changes, it is possible to
assign an access code to the inverter.
This is especially important if your inverter is accessible via a modem or the internet. Since the
password for parameters of password level 1 is the serial number of the inverter, anyone could
change your parameter settings.
You can prevent this from happening by setting the following parameter accordingly:
Parameter 267:
Access code 1
Menu:
Unit:
Accuracy:
Default setting:
Password level:
--1
0
1
As long as parameter 267 is set to 1, values can be changed.

If you enter a number between 1 and 65535 for parameter 267, access to the inverter will in future be
blocked and no changes will be able to be made without first entering this number under parameter
267 again.
This parameter acts like a combination lock. If you now want to change parameter settings of the
inverter, proceed as follows:
Enter the customer password to open the main menu
Enter your access code under parameter 267
Change the parameters you want to change
Deliberately enter an incorrect access code under parameter 267
As long as parameter 267 is set to 0, values can not be changed.
Note
It is not possible to read out the numbers entered as access code 1! You
must therefore make a note of these numbers and keep them safe! If,
however, you do happen to forget or lose these numbers, the inverter can
only be re-enabled again by the manufacturer. In this case, Solutronic will
provide you with a special code that will enable you to reset the access
code.

Reading Out Yield Data
9 Reading Out Yield Data

9.1 Reading out yield data on the display
Note
The inverter is equipped with an integrated energy meter that calculates
and adds up the energy fed into the mains power supply.
The energy meter of the inverter deliberately indicates a value approx
1.5% lower than that actually fed into the grid. The purpose of this is to
ensure the inverter does not indicate to you, the owner, a value that is
higher than that recorded by the calibrated export meter of your power
supplier.

11.1 Communicating with several inverters by means of the

master-slave network
The master-slave network is used to network several inverters in an installation. For this purpose, all
inverters are connected in parallel by means of ports X6 (6) and X7 (7). X6 and X7 interconnected, so
use 1:1 cables with M12 plug-in connectors (which you can purchase from Solutronic through your
fitter). If you make up the cables yourself, all you need to connect up are terminals 2 (RS485-A), 3
(Ground) and 4 (RS485-B).
One of the inverters in the installation is defined as the master. The display of this master inverter
then shows the most important data of the slave inverters. The master also records and displays the
current power levels and the yields of the slaves.

11.3 SOLPLUS+ communication software

SOLPLUS+ is Solutronic's evaluation program for SOLPLUS inverters.
Connection to the inverter via Ethernet, analogue modem, GSM modem and RS485.
Configuration of the inverter
Reading-out of the various files that the inverter supplies: list of all parameters, fault memory,
annual energy logger etc.
Display of the yields in clearly laid-out graphics
Display of the data logger in clearly laid-out graphics
All parameters can be read out.
Simple operator control and a Help function make it possible to monitor how your PV installation is
functioning and its yield.

Data Logger
If you are interested in using SOLPLUS+ to scan your inverter, please load the program and the
instructions for installation and use of SOLPLUS+ from the CD supplied or download them from
www.solutronic.de.
12 Data Logger
You can record up to 8 parameters in the data logger. You can chose which recording interval you
want. We recommend that you use SOLPLUS+ to display the parameters recorded.

140

In the default setting, 3 parameters are stored per clock pulse. This means that around 5,000 data
entries can be recorded in the ring memory in a 5-minute cycle (clock pulse) before the memory is
overwritten by the new data.
In the case of a 5-minute clock pulse and 14 hours of sunshine (per day), the data logger is full after
roughly 89 hours and begins overwriting the first data entries stored: these entries should therefore
be read out before they are overwritten.
Possible settings:
The 8 parameters available can be used to configure the content of a data logger line as desired. The
minimum parameter number in each case is 0, the maximum number 254. Please refer to the
Appendix for the parameter numbers.
Note that the list of parameters from 133 to 140 begins with values that are not zero. The first entry
that is 0 means the end of the logger list. The data logger of the inverter
now creates "files" every day, which the inverter saves to guard against loss in the event of a power
failure.
Note
After you have changed the configuration of the data logger, you have to
delete the entire data logger memory. You do this by setting parameter 66
"Set default values" to the value 70 = Delete data logger.

Example: You want to see the value of parameter 8 = Energy today displayed constantly on the
display without having to press a button. To do this, set parameter 271 to the value 8.
14 Maintenance and Cleaning

Check at regular intervals that your SOLPLUS inverter is functioning properly. If the heat sinks
become soiled, e.g. through dirt or dust, we can no longer guarantee that the heat that arises inside
the SOLPLUS inverter is properly dissipated. Such soiling and inadequate heat dissipation has a very
negative effect on the performance (output), service life and safety of the inverter.
Note
Do not open the inverter! There are no components inside the inverter that
can be maintained or cleaned by the end user.
14.1 Cleaning the cooling fins

Caution!
The surface of the inverter housing can become hot when the inverter is in
operation. Very hot! Do not touch!
Switch the inverter off before you clean the cooling fins. (Caution: the inverter requires at least 5 min.
to discharge.) Clean the cooling fins using a suitable brush.
14.2 Cleaning the display

Note
Never use a caustic, abrasive or solvent-based cleaning agent.
If the display is difficult to read due to dust or dirt, use a damp cloth to wipe it.
