TRACKSO INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR ABB PVS-100/120-TL
Brand: ABB
Type: Solar On Grid String Inverter
Models: PVS-100/120-TL
CONNECTION DIAGRAM
Figure A1 –ABB 100kW inverter Communication Port
The communication terminals (RS485) are located at the right bottom of the inverter as shown in Figure A1
Steps:
1) Loosen the 4 captive screws and locate communication module as shown in Figure A1.
2) Install the wires in the appropriate terminals. Data+ to 485+ and Data- to 485- of communication port as
shown in Figure A2
3) Tighten the gland. Make sure that the gland seals around the cable and that the cable does not move
when pulled.

DEFAULT CONFIGURATION IN TRACKSO IOT GATEWAY
Interface: RS-485 (half duplex)
ID: 2 to 63
Baud Rate: 2400, 4800, 9600 (default value), 19200 38400, 57600 or 115200bps
Stop bit: 1 , Parity: No parity (default value), even parity or odd parity , Data bits: 8
CONFIGURATION AT THE INVERTER END
Enable the wireless connection on the device which is being used for the board setup (tablet, smartphone or PC) and
connect it to the Access Point created by the inverter system: the name of the wireless network created by the system
that the connection should be established with, will be
ABB-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
where “X” is a hex digit of the MAC address (MAC address can be found on the “Communication Identification label”
placed on the side of the inverter or applied during the commissioning phase to the plant documentation).
When required digit the PRODUCT KEY (printed on the “Communication Identification label” and applied during the
commissioning phase to the plant documentation) as access point password. Note that it’s required to digit also the
dash “-” characters of the Product Key in the password field.
Open an internet browser (recommended browser: Chrome versions from v.55, Firefox versions from v.50) and enter
the pre-set IP address 192.168.117.1 to access the login page.
Login with the username and password created during the commissioning phase
If the Password is lost click on “Forgot your password?” to obtain the access to the Web User Interface (and it will be
possible to change the password) by entering the PRODUCT KEY (printed on the “Communication Identification label”
and applied during the commissioning phase to the plant documentation).
NETWORK section
In the NETWORK section it’s possible to access
the following sub-menus:
• RS485
• LAN Status
• WLAN Status
•Modbus TCP
• Connectivity Check
• Monitored Devices
• Debug Settings

SETTING THE INVERTER ID ,BAUD RATE & PROTOCOL
Enter Network Section and Select RS485 and set Baud Rate, Node Address and Protocol
Please Note
1) If you connect multiple inverters via RS485, set the same baud rate on each inverter.
2) The inverter ID is used to identify the inverter in a RS485 connection
a. Set a different inverter ID for each inverter in the PV plant. Otherwise, the inverters cannot be correctly
identified.
b. On the last inverter in the RS485 connection, switch on the RS485 termination resistor.
Id- As required/Mentioned on TrackSo
Baud Rate-9600
Protocol- Modbus Sunspec Server
SET DATE & TIME OF INVERTER
For a precise calculation of the statistics in the inverter itself and in a monitoring
system, date and time have to be correct.
Date and Time
In the Date and Time sub-menu it’s possible to sets the date, time and time zone.
The inverter will propose these fields when the time protocol is available). When it’s
not possible for the inverter to detect the time protocol, these fields have to be
manually entered.
Communication Card Settings
Single Inverter
Set the Correct Date & Time
S5 –ON
When connecting a single inverter to the monitoring
system, activate the communication line resistance
terminal by setting the switch (to the ON position)

When an RS-485 connection is being used, if one or more inverters are added to the system at a later time, it is
necessary to remember to reset to OFF the switch of the termination resistance being used (1) or (2) on the inverter
which previously was the last in the system. Each inverter is shipped with the RS485 address pre-set to two (2) and with
the resistance terminal setting Switch in the OFF position
Multiple Inverters
The above details are mentioned in the Installation & Operation Manual for ABB PVS-100/120-TL

TRACKSO WORKING
1. Insure correct connections as detailed in the installation guide.
2. Insert the SIM card.
3. Switch on the power to the TrackSo device. (Minimum 12V/1A input is required)
4. Power LED (Red) of TrackSo IoT gateway glows and stays ON.
NOTE: TrackSo IoT Gateway will only be able to send data if the GPRS network is available at the
installed location.

6. If the GSM light starts flashing 5 times then Login to www.trackso.in with your Username/Password.
7. Click on ‘Units’ from the menu bar. You will be able to view your installed unit in the table as shown
below.
8. Check if the Status becomes Receiveing for the relevant Unit.

9. If the state remains Not receiveing for more than 10 minutes, click on your email ID at the top right of the
screen and click on ‘Event Ingestion Logs’ in the dropdown.
10. Check if there is some log generated at the time of installation of the TrackSo IoT Gateway device.
a. If NO, please restart the device and try the same flow again.
b. If YES, email us at [e-mail] to consult the same.
