Introduction
All configuration and real time monitoring of the ECpv is done by connecting with a standard
web browser to its build in webserver (ECweb). The ECweb can run on any device featuring
a web browser. Use for instance a panel PC as a local HMI on site. A laptop or portable
device which will give you monitoring and control capabilities even from remote if
connectivity to the ECpv is in place.
Note that it is not mandatory for the control and balancing of the PV, genset and Mains part
to work to have HMI or laptop connected to ECweb. It is required for commissioning of the
ECpv only.
This document explains how to establish a connection to the ECpv from your laptop and
mobile devices.
Refer to the ECpv manual for information on the features provided by the ECpv.

ECweb
ECweb is the build in webserver of the ECpv. All configuration and real time monitoring of
the ECpv is done via ECweb. Connection to ECweb is done with a standard web browser
Using laptop/PC and Internet Explorer browser running on Java is the best option for
connecting to ECweb. Other browsers and mobile devices can be used as well. In this case
FireFox browser is recommended.
Connecting to ECweb with Internet Explorer on PC/laptop
Java from oracle must be installed on PC/laptop.
Java download
1: Type in IP address of the ECpv in the Internet Explorer browser command line.
Default IP address is:
192.168.1.101.
2: Type in login credentials when prompted.
Default login credentials are:
user: web_user0
password: web_password0
3: Accept/Ignore all warnings populated.
4: If tiles on the front page are out of order, click on the page and they will fall into place. If
any Icons are missing on the tiles, restart the Internet Explorer browser and start over.
Connecting to ECweb using any other browser or mobile device
For all other browsers on PC/laptop or from any browser on mobile devices.
1: Type in IP address/webvisu.html in the browser command line.
Default IP address is:
192.168.1.101.
2: Type in login credentials when prompted.
Default login credentials are:
user: web_user0
password: web_password0

Troubleshooting
If connection can’t be established verify that:
1. ECpv is powered up and running. ECpv must have 24VDC (+/- 15%) supply voltage.
The green Power and the green Run LEDs in the front of the ECpv must both be
illuminated. Note that a two low supply voltage can result in a situation where
sufficient voltage is present to power up the ECpv but not to run the program. In this
case the Power LED is illuminated but the Run LED. When powering up the ECpv the
Power LED will light up first and Run LED will come approximately 30s after when
ECpv is initialized and program is up and running.
2. Your laptop must be on the same subnet as the ECpv. Even though you have an
ethernet cable going directly from your laptop to the ECpv you still need to make sure
that your laptop is provided with suitable IP address. In the case where the default IP
address of the ECpv 192.168.1.101 is kept a suitable IP address for your laptop
would be 192.168.1.x, where x is a number in the range [2;249] excluding “101” as
this is used by the ECpv itself.
3. Once the IP of your laptop is in place you must be able to ping the ECpv. This can be
done by opening a command prompt and write the command “ping xxx.yyy.zzz.www”
where xxx.yyy.zzz.www is the IP address of the ECpv as shown below. First when
the ECpv replies to the command it is verified that your laptop and the ECpv can see
each other on the network and you can connect to ECweb using the browser as
described above.

Connection to ECweb established
First page to be displayed when connection is established is the front page of ECweb.
Whenever navigating around the ECweb you can always return to this page by clicking the
ENcombi logo in the upper left corner.
In the upper right corner you can see the current access login level.
In the lower left corner ECpv will display any info and warning messages it wants to
communicate to the user. Some messages will clear themselves automatically. Others
demand user action to be acknowledged first. In that case a dedicated button with garbage
can symbol will be presented alongside with the messages. Furthermore when changing
certain settings etc. a reboot of the ECpv is required before the changes take effect. This will
be communicated in the message as well and a dedicated button with refresh symbol will be
presented alongside with the messages.
In the lower right corner is the internal clock of the ECpv displayed.
In the center there are a total of six tiles.
1. The upper left tile “Control” gives access to set up of ECpc controller related
parameters such as IP configuration, Internal clock handling etc.
2. The upper right tile “Identifiers” gives access to overview of SW version installed and
extras present in the ECpv as well as set up of project details (name, location etc.),
password scheme etc.
3. The left center tile “Settings” give access to setup of site specific parameters such as
number and ratings of genset, grid connections, and inverters, which power meters
are used, power and reactive control schemes etc.
4. The right center tile “Logs” give access to setup of log specific parameters.
6
5. The lower left tile “EClogic” provide the possibility of making project specific logical
expressions when required. That could be for linking physical digital inputs applied on
power meters to position of breakers or similar. Also in here RRCR can be setup
providing the option of superior control system to give power references for the ECpv
to follow.
6. The lower right tile “Monitoring” provides a high level overview of the installation as
well as detailed information about each individual inverter and power meter.
