Revision 8

Introduction
Page 1
The Ethernet Network Card is used for monitoring and controlling purposes. The Ethernet Net-
work Card supports industry standard Modbus RS485 communication and TCP/IP protocol.
When used with an Internet connection, it can send data to an online portal from where up to 32
inverters can be monitored. It can also be used to remotely update the inverter firmware.
Capabilities
● Remote inverter firmware upgrade support by Yaskawa Solectria Solar (YSS).
● Remote diagnostics by YSS Technical Support & Service.
● Direct customer data from the Ethernet Network Card via a programmable Ethernet XML
Sunspec Data Exchange connection for customers who want to manage their own data directly.
● Pass-thru Modbus communications to a third-party gateway.

When the inverters are monitored via the ENC, a unique RS-485 address for each
inverter can be set up through the LCD interface.
Up to 32 inverters can be connected together in the communication network.

Connect the 3rd party Datalogger to the Pass-Through in the bottom left-hand corner
of the ENC using the 3-Pin Connector provided in the ENC Kit.
Connect the RS485 inverter daisy chain to the inverter communication board using
the 5-Pin Connector provided in the ENC Kit.
NOTE: The 5-Pin Connector is installed on the port on the bottom of the inverter
communication board (behind the ENC) .
The RJ45 LAN cable is inserted into
the Ethernet port of the ENC.
The LAN cable must be able to access
the Internet without port filtering behind
the firewall.

Open the firewall ports before commissioning !
If a firewall is used to protect the network, the following ports must be opened
both ways (incoming and outgoing communications):
TCP 1883 with destination IP 47.254.52.209
The following outgoing ports must be opened :
TCP 443 with destination solrenview.com
(IP 209.160.64.80)
if the firmware of ENC installed is lower than 1.6000, the following port must be
opened both ways:
TCP 80 and 88 with destination IP 47.254.31.163
If the user cannot have these ports open, remote diagnostics and firmware
updates will not be available.
It is recommended to use a separate modem/router so that the inverters’
network is not part of the high security network used on the site.

Once connected to the network navigate
back to the APP. Note do not close the
app as you will need to repeat the previ-
ous steps.
“DHCP” enabled means that the card will
try to obtain IP and DNS by itself from
your server.
This is the recommended settings. If you
network administrator requires a static IP,
disable this feature and enter it manually.

Click “Test” to check the default configura-
tion and the ENC will query each inverter
in the daisy chain and display the connec-
tion with all units.
Make sure all inverters have unique
Modbus ID addresses. Select the appro-
prate Modbus Range for your system.
If the card has internet access and it is not
being blocked, it will display [OK]. Please
contact your network administrator, if
another message is received.
Once the “Test” is complete, the user
should be able to see all the inverters that
were found in the given range.
If the user is missing an inverter, make
sure it has a unique ID and it is within the
range. Once you find all the expected
inverters, please press “Save the Config”.
At this point the “Activate” button at the
top right corner should be highlighted.

Press “Activate”. The APP will prompt you
for an internet connection.
This will require the user to disable the
WiFi between his/hers smart device and
the WiFi module and enable the 3G/4G
network of the smart device to take over.
Once you disable the WiFi, navigate back
to the APP. Do not close the APP.
Ensure the mobile phone is connected to
the Internet during this step.
