A. Product Description
The PVI-AEC-EVO is a monitoring and checking system for photovoltaic systems made with Power-One Aurora
products. Inthe following pages we will make reference to the“system”meaning both versions of the product.Whereas
thecharacteristicsofproductaredifferent willbespecified.
The product allows to acquire parameters from the inverter and string-comb (in accordance with the design of the
centralinvertermonitoringsystem)throughthe RS485 linewith thePower-Oneproprietaryprotocol.
The system is equipped with two equivalent RS485 ports and each of them allows a maximum of 62 string inverters
or 62 55kW conversion modules (centralized modular inverters) to be acquired; It is also possible to use the
communication port RS485/1 (Ref.Par.D) to acquire parameters from power meters equipped
withModbus communicationinterface.

“ISKRAMECOMT831”
EN - ENGLISH
The system is equipped with three analog inputs for the connection of sensors for the measurement of environmental
parameters: Power-Oneoffersin its cataloguea completerangeofradiation sensor,cell and ambienttemperature,speed
andwinddirection.
The system also has six digital inputs for acquiring state signals (for example auxiliary contacts of power switches) which
areassociatedwithstatealarmconditions.
With respect to the user interface, the system is equipped with a 2x16 character display and four keys as well as an
integratedwebserverwithhtmlpageswhichareaccessiblethroughLANconnection.
The initial system configuration (check that the inverter parameters are acquired, analog inputs configuration, LAN
network parameters configuration) can be carried out completely through the display and keys; for displaying the
detailed parameters of the inverters and/or of the string-combs,as well as for the advanced configurations it is necessary
toaccessthepagesoftheintegratedwebserver.

E. Power Supply Connections and System Start Up
1. Connect the power supply to the power supply network (100/240V 50/60Hz): the "Power" led on the power
supply will light up steadily.Check that the output voltage of the power supply is 24Vdc.Disconnect the power
supplyfromthepowersupplynetwork.
2. Connect the output of the power supply to the power supply terminal block of the PVI-AEC-EVO respecting the
polarity and usingthewiring provided.
3. Connect the power supply to the power supply network:After a first starting phase (lasting about 30 seconds)
during which the system is not able to receive any input from the user,the green "PowerOn" led will remain lit.

I
t is recommended to connect the RS485 line when all the equipment is switched off (both the monitoring system
andthe inverters)and tostart up themonitoringsystemfirstand then theinverters. Itis recommendedto:
Use a cable for RS485 applications with the following characteristics: 1 twisted pair+1conductor or two
twisted pairs,Screen and characteristic Impedance equal to 120 . For further information on the cable to be
usedrefertoAppendix2.
Makesurethe signalscorrespond.
Makesurethat allthreelines (+T/R,-T/R andRTN) are connectedaccordingtothe diagramsin pages9-10.
Make sure that each element in the chain (each inverter or each 55kW module) has a RS485 address that is
differentfromthe others.Thisaddress can besetvia the displayof the inverter.

Note: The maximum number of units (string inverters or/and 55kW conversion modules) that can be
connected to a RS485 port of the PVI-AEC-EVO is 62.In order to connect a number of units greater
than62 itis necessaryto use thesecondRS485/2 port respectingthe samewiring diagramused for
themainRS485/1port.
In the PVI-AEC-EVO LIGHT the number of inverters that can be acquired is limited to a maximum of 5
strings inverters which can be connected by RS485/2 (Ref.Par.D). Compatible models (in every their
variation) for the PVI-ACE-EVO LIGHT version are:PVI-2000(-OUTD); UNO-2.0/2.5-I-OUTD; PVI-3600;
PVI-3.0/3.6/4.2-TL-OUTD; PVI-3.8/4.6-I-OUTD; PVI-5000/6000-TL-OUTD; PVI-10.0/12.5-TL-OUTD;
PVI-10.0/12.0-I-OUTD.
Note: When connecting multiple units (string inverter or/and 55kW conversion modules) it is necessary
towiretheRS485communicationlineaccordingtothedaisy-chaindiagram(enter-exit).

The measurement is carried out between PT_SENSE and PT_RTN,therefore the element to be measured must be wired
betweenthesetwosignals.
The PT100/PT1000 sensor is automatically recognised by the system and is therefore acquired without the need for
