Eos –Gate Installation and operation manual

2 Overview
This manual is about the Eos-Gate product. The Eos-Gate is a device to be installed in
photovoltaic plants with 3 main features:
1.Polling data from a set of field devices (Eos-Array/Eos-Array Lite, AC meters) with a planned
time interval
2.Storing data into memory for safety reason
3.Pushing data to the Fat Spaniel® Portal, allowing to monitor the photovoltaic installation
The following diagram illustrates a typical architecture in which the Eos-Gate is used:
Measured variables and alarms are polled from the field devices, according to the desired time
interval (suggested default 30 seconds). Data are stored into the SD memory, until they are
correctly transmitted to the monitoring portal, for data safety reasons. With an opportune time
interval (suggested default 10 minutes) data are then sent to the portal and the SD memory is
freed. When data have been taken in charge by the web portal, the remote monitoring is possible
using the Fat Spaniel® Solar Plant Vision
(1)
platform.
Notes:
(1)It is necessary to be Fat Spaniel®’s customers for using the above monitoring platform. The Eos-Gate provides connectivity for
the field devices, but the usage of Fat Spaniel® platform and resourced is regulated by an agreement between the user and
Fat Spaniel®

•Serial port 1: to be connected to Eos-Array / Eos-Array Lite devices and Carlo Gavazzi’s AC
meters
•Serial port 2: to be connected to third party devices
The connection to a serial RS-485 bus must be done following the relevant best practices. Please
read the appendix “Modbus over serial line guidelines” at the end of this document.
An RS-485 network installed or operated without following the relevant prescriptions and guidelines
can cause problems to data communication and damages to the connected devices.
RS-485 connection to Eos-Gate
•Serial port 1: to be connected to Eos-Array /

6.1 hysical installation
The Eos-Gate is designed to be installed:
1.By using DIN rails
2.Wall-mounted
In the first case the 2 special plastic DIN rail
adaptors supplied in the Eos-Gate package must
be used.
Observe the specified limits in terms of
environmental conditions of use, with a special
care for the ambient temperature.
6.2 Wiring
As far as wiring is concerned refer to the relevant information in the previous section and in the
appendix. To proceed with the software configuration of the Eos-Gate, the following conditions
must be true:
1.The Eos-Gate is connected to one or more Eos-Array / Eos-Array lite devices (up to 10) by
means of a RS-485 serial line (serial port 1)
2.The Eos-Gate is connected to one AC meter by means of a RS-485 serial line (serial port 1)
3.The Eos-Gate is connected to a PC by means of either an Ethernet LAN or a direct
connection through a cross-over using the Ethernet port 1 .
(1)
4.The Eos-Gate is connected to internet by means of an Ethernet LAN and is reachable by
internet for web connections over TCP/IP (port 80) using the Ethernet port 1.
(1)
(1)
Points (3) and (4) are to be considered as alternatives
6.3 Internet access prerequisites
According to the requested service level, if the Eos-Gate is placed behind a Firewall to protect the
network, the following prerequisites have to be satisfied:
Needed feature Prerequisite
