Setting EMI Parameters
Devices from different vendors may support different protocol specifications. To normally obtain information from the connected EMI, correctly configure the protocol specifications over the SmartLogger WebUI based on the protocol specifications delivered by the vendor.
After the SmartLogger connects to the EMI, manually add the device. For details, see Connecting Devices. Device Type should be set to EMI.
Because of permission restriction, log in as Advanced User. Choose and set EMI parameters.
- When the connected device model is in the EMI model drop-down list, set the parameters as follows.
Parameter
Description
EMI model
Set this parameter to the model of the corresponding EMI.
Currently, the following models are supported: ABB VSN800-12, ABB VSN800-14, Gill MetPak Pro, Hukseflux SRx, Ingenieurbüro Si-RS485TC, Kipp&Zonen SMPx, Lufft WSx-UMB, Lufft WSx-UMB (external sensors), Meier-NT ADL-SR, Meteo control SR20-D2, Rainwise PVmet-150, Rainwise PVmet-200, Soluzione Solare SunMeter, JinZhou LiCheng, JinZhou YangGuang (PC-4), and HanDan (RYQ-3).
Synchronize Environment Data
Retain the default value Disable.
NOTE:If Enable is selected, wind speed and direction will be sent to the inverters in a PV plant with the tracking system.
Master/Slave
When the SmartLogger connects to multiple EMIs, you can set one of them to master mode. The inverter performance data contains that of the EMI in master mode.
- If the connected EMI is a split-type one that
supports the Modbus-RTU protocol, set the parameters as follows.
Parameter
Description
EMI model
Set this parameter to Sensor(ADAM).
Synchronize Environment Data
Retain the default value Disable.
NOTE:If Enable is selected, wind speed and direction will be sent to the inverters in a PV plant with the tracking system.
Master/Slave
When the SmartLogger connects to multiple EMIs, you can set one of them to master mode. The inverter performance data is that of the EMI in master mode.
Read function code
Read holding register 03H and Read input register 04H are supported. Set this parameter based on the vendor's protocol.
Data reporting mode
Integer and Floating point are supported. Set this parameter based on the vendor's protocol.
Word ordering
Big endian and Little endian are supported. Set this parameter based on the vendor's protocol.
Read mode
Multiple read and Single read are supported.
Start address
When Read mode is set to Multiple read, set the start address.
End address
When Read mode is set to Multiple read, set the end address.
Signal
NOTE:Signal-related parameters include Signal Name, Signal address, Lower Thres., Upper Thres., Spec, Start (mV/mA), and End (mV/mA).
Set this parameter based on the vendor's protocol.
NOTE:If the EMI can collect a certain signal, set Signal address to the address of the corresponding register. If not, set Signal address to 65535.
- If the connected EMI is of another model, set
the parameters as follows.
Parameter
Description
EMI model
Set this parameter to Other.
Synchronize Environment Data
Retain the default value Disable.
NOTE:If Enable is selected, wind speed and direction will be sent to the inverters in a PV plant with the tracking system.

Read mode
Multiple read and Single read are supported.
Start address
When Read mode is set to Multiple read, set the start address.
End address
When Read mode is set to Multiple read, set the end address.
Signal
NOTE:Signal-related parameters include Signal Name, Signal address, Gain, and Offset.
Set this parameter based on the vendor's protocol.
NOTE:If the EMI can collect a certain signal, set Signal address to the address of the corresponding register. If not, set Signal address to 65535.
