How to enable TCP/IP for EMS on Autarco inverters
What is TCP/IP?
TCP/IP or Modbus TCP/IP is the communication way where the local (internet) network is used for communication between devices. The Modbus communication is translated and send via TCP/IP.
Most EMS controllers want to connect via TCP/IP as it is using the existing communication that is already setup.
How to enable TCP/IP for EMS
To enable TCP/IP you need the following:
- Communication: S2.LAN.STICK.D
- Communication stick firmware: equal to 100101B0
When the firmware is correct TCP/IP is enabled.
How to update the firmware version
Updating the firmware version of the communication stick is currently possible via Digital O&M in Helios. See this article for details: upgrade stick firmware
Note: When using TCP/IP it is advised to configure the EMS controller to not request data faster than once per second. Else it might interfere with sending data to MyAutarco.
