1 Overview
This additional module enables the acquisition and storage of large amounts of data
(such as measuring and balance values of the solar system) over a long period of
time. System access is possible with just a few clicks via the VBus.net Internet portal.
For transmission of the data stored in the internal memory of the DL2 to a PC, an
SD card can be used.
The DL2 is appropriate for all controllers with RESOL VBus®.The datalogger can be
connected directly to a PC or router for remote enquiry and thus enables comfor-
table system monitoring for yield monitoring or for diagnostics of faults.

3.3 VBus® / data communication
Terminal connections of the Datalogger
The DL2 Datalogger is to be connected to the controller via the pre-connected
VBus®cable. The corresponding terminal allocation is described in the controller
manual.
The VBus®cable can be extended using the terminal block included and a common
two-wire cable.
The VBus®cable is pre-connected to the Datalogger terminals and .Another
module can be connected to the terminals and .
3.4 Connecting the network cable
The DL2 Datalogger can be connected to a computer or a router by using a net-
work cable (CAT5e, RJ45).
ÎConnect the network cable included to the network adapter of the computer
or the router.
