Chapter V: LAN EzLogger Pro Data Upload and Function Configuration

Introduce LAN EzLogger Pro monitoring data transmission and the configuration
method.

5.1 How to Use LAN EzLogger Pro

Introduce LAN EzLogger Pro monitoring data transmission.

After EzLogger Pro is connected to the collected data, one should connect EzLogger Pro to the
Internet, so that EzLogger Pro can upload the collected data to the server. Dynamic IP (DHCP) is a
default function for EzLogger Pro.
I f t h e u s e r ’ s n et wo r k e q u i p m e n t i s a va i l a b l e w i t h t h e d y n a m i c I P ( D H C P ) , s u c h a s ro u te r,
EzLogger Pro can be connected to the Internet in a plug-and-play way simply through direct
connection of the NET port of EzLogger Pro to the LAN port of the router and the enabling of the
dynamic IP (DHCP) function of the router. The collected Data will be automatically uploaded.
If the network equipment is available with static IP, you will need to switch EzLogger Pro to the static
IP mode, then use our ProMate software to change the IP address of EzLogger Pro into the user’s
desired static IP address, and then connect to the user's Internet, as shown in the figure below.
For more information about configuration, the user may refer to the static IP address connection
configuration method of ProMate.

 5.2 EzLogger Pro Configuration

5.2 EzLogger Pro Configuration

Introduce how to use ProMate to configure EzLogger Pro.

5.2.1 Connecting ProMate to EzLogger Pro

ProMate software is launched by us for functional configuration of EzLogger Pro, by which we can realize
modification to the IP address of EzLogger Pro, quantity setting of connected inverters for port, time
setting, sound and light alarm, RCR, DRED enabling configuration, field debugging, etc.
Firstly, the user needs to install “ProMate” software in the computer. Please access to GoodWe
official website and search for“ProMate” to download the program and complete the installation.
For connection of ProMate software to EzLogger Pro, the user needs to choose between dynamic IP
(DHCP) and static IP, depending on the Internet configuration.
1. How to Assign a Dynamic IP Address to EzLogger Pro:
If the user has a dynamic IP, EzLogger Pro can be connected to the Internet in a plug-and-play way
simply through the connection of the NET port of EzLogger Pro to the LAN port of the router with
Internet cable. If you need to configure the EzLogger Pro, you should to connect your computer to the
router with net cable. Open ProMate and click “Scan” in the ProMate software connection, so as to
make the Internet connection successful. Then pull out cables from the computer and connect them
to LAN port of the router, as shown in Figure 5.2-1.

Figure 5.2-1 Connecting ProMate to EzLogger Pro by Scanning

 5.2 EzLogger Pro Configuration

2. Configuration Method for EzLogger Pro Static IP Address:

If the user has a static IP, it is necessary to switch EzLogger Pro to the static IP mode. That is, press the
Reload key for about 10 seconds to reset and restart EzLogger Pro, The LEDs on EzLogger Pro
will blink one after another from right to left. After restart, EzLogger Pro will be switched to static IP
mode(default IP:192.168.1.200),then modify the computer’s IP address, take WIN7 as an example,
the steps are as below. The user can find the methods from the Internet for modifying IP addresses of
different computer systems.
(1) Switch EzLogger Pro to static IP, then use cables to connect EzLogger Pro “NET” port to the
Ethernet port of the computer.
(2) Turn on the computer, right click on "Network " on the desktop, and click on “Properties”.

Figure 5.2-2 Open the Network Connections Window

(3) Click on “Change adapter settings”.

 5.2 EzLogger Pro Configuration
(5) Double click on “Internet Protocol 4 (TCP/IPv4)” to pop up the “Properties” dialog box of
“Internet Protocol 4 (TCP/IPv4)”, then complete the setting for the dialog box in accordance
with the following requirements.
The defaulted IP address for EzLogger Pro is 192.168.1.200. In order to put your computer and
EzLogger Pro under the same network segment, you should set the IP address and the default
gateway in 192.168.1. XXX network segment (1 ≤ XXX ≤ 250 and XXX ≠200).
For example:
The user can set the IP address as 192.168.1.100 and the default gateway as 192.168.1.254.

Figure 5.2-6 Modification of the IP Address

Click “Connect” button in ProMate to connect ProMate to EzLogger Pro, and the system will
indicate “The connection is successful”, as shown in Figure 5.2-7.

Figure 5.2-7 Connection between ProMate Software and EzLogger Pro in Static IP

21
 5.2 EzLogger Pro Configuration

(6) Modification to the IP address of EzLogger Pro.

The user can adopt the required configuration after connecting ProMate software to
EzLogger Pro.
In static IP mode, the user can configure IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS that
can be accessed to Internet as required, as shown in Figure 5.2-8.
For example:
The User’
s IP Address 192.168.1.101 The User’
s Gateway 192.168.1.254
The User’
s Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 The User’
s DNS 208.67.222.222

Put the above data into LAN configuration, and then click the “Set” button to complete the
set. Now IP address of EzLogger Pro has been modified as the configuration as required by the
user, and physical connection between EzLogger Pro and ProMate can be disconnected after the
configuration is completed. Then the Internet will be available just by plugging Ethernet cable
into EzLogger Pro.

Figure 5.2-8 Modification to LAN Configuration

(7) After the configuration is completed, the user can pull out the cable which connected to Ethernet
port of the computer, and then insert it into the router. At the same time, the user shall restore
the IP address and other parameters of the computer to default settings.To change EzLogger Pro
back to use dynamic IP, please long press RELOAD button for around 4 seconds. An ordinal LEDs
blinking from left to right indicates EzLogger Pro is rebooting, after which, dynamic IP is set
successfully.

5.2.2 Quantity Configuration for Inverter Communication Port

Terminal configuration is used for setting EzLogger Pro ‘s COM1,COM2,COM3 ports which the quantity
of inverters connecting,assume port 1(corresponding communication port COM1) connecting the
quantity of inverters is 7,then check port 1,the quantity settings is 7,click on “Set” button to finish
the configuration. As picture 5.2-9.

Figure 5.2-9 Parameter Configration

Please set the quantity of devices of each port according to the quantity of inverters actually
connected. Upon the completion of setting, the user can check the actual communication status of
inverter from the LED indicator of EzLogger Pro (see Section 2.3 LED Indicator).

5.2.4 Field Debugging

ProMate can also be applied to field installation and debugging. After installation is completed, click
on “Refresh” to show whether the inverter is online or not. If the system prompts “off line”,
please check whether the connection cable has any problem, and then timely solve the problems till
the system shows that all the inverter are “on line”. It should be noted that it takes time to get the
inverter status due to communication rate problems, as shown in Figure 5.2-12.

Figure 5.2-12 Acquiring the Inverter Status

5.2.5 DRED setting

DRED function can control the inverter’s generated power according to power grid control signal,only
apply to Australia and New Zealand.Before start using DRED function,it will have to connect electricity
meter well first and set inverter’s safety country,then set installation capacity and CT current ratio .etc
parameters.Below instructions are installation capacity and CT current ratio:
1. Installation capacity:The inverter’s sum of rated generate electricity,such as there are 2 pieces of
10KW inverters on site,then the installation capacity is to set 20KW, calculate method is 2*10KW.
2. CT current ratio:Current transformer labeled input and output current ratio.For example,labeled ratio
was 200/5,then CT current ratio setting is 40. Click “Start Using DRED” button after setting finished to
achieve the configuration.As picture 5.2-13 showed.

After start using successfully,the “ Refresh ” column will display.

Figure 5.2-14 Real Time Data

Meter power means: The electricity meter measure the grid power, display positive value means the
user sell electricity power value, display negative value means the user buy electricity power value.
Inverters power means: All of the inverters’ sum of generate electricity power value.
Load power means: Load consumption power.

When start using DRED function , if EzLogger Pro detects inverter had earth fault,then it will trigger
sound-light alarm function:buzzer will ring for 1 minute,and RUN LED will be lighting for 1 minute.
After 1 minute,the alarm will stop and keep on detecting every 30 minutes until fault disappearing.
