Managing Devices

You can search, add, delete, and assign addresses to devices that are connected to the SmartLogger on the monitoring panel.

Context

Provided that all the inverters are correctly connected to the SmartLogger and that all the communications parameters are correctly set, the SmartLogger can perform the automatic search and detect all the connected inverters.
Before you perform the Auto. Search operation, if the SmartLogger is connected to devices that no longer exist in the PV power system, remove them from the SmartLogger manually. Otherwise, these devices are still detectable with Disconnection status.
After you add, delete, or replace a device, or change the RS485 address, search for devices again or restart the SmartLogger (the SmartLogger automatically searches for devices after it restarts).
EMI, slave SmartLogger, power meter, PLC (MBUS), and third-party devices cannot be automatically recognized, and must be manually added.
For devices that no longer exist in the PV power system, perform Single Remove or Batch Remove in time to avoid wasting the system resources.
The RS485 addresses of all inverters are the same when delivered. If the firmware version of the SUN2000 is V100R001C00SPC010 or later, or V100R001C81SPC105 or later, you can perform automatic address assignment on the SmartLogger and adjust the addresses to realize remote site setup and improve maintenance efficiency.
When connecting a third-party device, you need to import a configuration file for the device, and then manually add the device.
If you perform Alarm Reset, all active and historical alarms for the selected device will be deleted and the SmartLogger will be enabled to collect new alarm data.
- If Data Clear is performed on Huawei devices such as the inverter and PID module, Alarm Reset must be performed on the SmartLogger and NMS. Otherwise, the SmartLogger cannot collect alarm information generated by the devices after Data Clear is performed.
- If Alarm Reset or Data Clear is performed on the SmartLogger, Alarm Reset must also be performed on the NMS. Otherwise, the NMS cannot obtain alarm information collected by the SmartLogger after Alarm Reset or Data Clear is performed.

Procedure

The following table describes the procedure for managing the devices. The parameter values in the following figures are for reference only.

LCD	Operation Procedure
	1. On the default screen, press to enter the main menu.
	2. Choose and press .

	4. Choose Device Mgmt. and press . Perform step 5 to enable the SmartLogger to automatically search for devices. Perform step 6 to add devices to the SmartLogger. Perform step 7 to remove a single device. Perform step 8 to remove devices in batches. Perform steps 9-12 to automatically assign addresses. Perform step 13 to import a configuration file. Perform step 14 to reset alarms. Perform steps 15-17 to start or shut down inverters in batches. Perform step 18 to reset inverters in batches.
	5. Choose Auto. Search and press . Before performing the automatic search, ensure that all the devices can normally communicate with the SmartLogger. NOTE: After you add, delete, or replace a device, or change the RS485 address, search for devices again. If a device is added, search for the device on the SmartLogger or restart the SmartLogger and then search for the device on the NMS.
	6. Choose Add Manually and press . NOTE: EMI, slave SmartLogger, power meter, PLC (MBUS), and third-party devices must be manually added. If the communication is abnormal, or the address on the port has been used, the device cannot be added.
	7. Choose Single Remove and press twice. NOTE: For devices that no longer exist in the PV power system, remove them in time to avoid wasting system resources.
	8. Choose Batch Remove and press . NOTE: For devices that no longer exist in the PV power system, remove them in time to avoid wasting system resources.
	9. Select Addr. Allocate, set the start addresses assigned for RS485-1, RS485-2, and RS485-3, and then press to allocate the addresses.
	10. Press to confirm the address assignment.
	11. After the setting of Addr. Allocate is completed, press to adjust addresses.
	12. After the setting of Addr. Adjustment is completed, press to search the devices.
	13. Choose Config Import, select a custom device as required, and press to import a configuration file. NOTE: Before importing a configuration file, you must plug in a USB drive that contains the configuration file. After importing a configuration file, you need to manually add a third-party device.
	14. Choose Alarm Reset, select a device as required, and press .
	15. Choose Batch Power-On/Off and press .
	16. Choose Batch Power-On and press .
