Features:

◎ Monitor and record current data of inverters

◎ Record historical data

◎ Monitor and record event information of inverter

◎ Connect computer and inverter via RS232 and RS485 port (wire connection)

or Bluetooth module (wireless connection)

◎ Remote access available for local area network

3.2 Menu Bar

At the top line of the monitor interface is the menu bar, which enables some basic operations.

Search Device:

Communication Setting: Set communication parameters

Search serial port: Search inverters at serial port

Search Bluetooth: Search inverters at bluetooth

Tcp Setting: Set tcp communication parameters

Tool:

ShineTool: Set inverter parameters

Help:

User Manual:User manual

About Software:Information of software

3.3 Search and Communicate

Communication Setting:

Default protocol is modbus. 3PH inverters can only use modbus protocol. If you can't find inverter by using modbus protocol, please try internal protocol.

5

Search Serial Port:

Click Search serial port option (Menu Bar→ Search Device→Search serial port), the Search Device dialog box will be pop-up. Before searching inverter, users must choose the search port (e.g. COM1), searching methods (e.g. search address or address range, or search all the address), after these settings click search button to start searching.

Address of inverter shouldn't be "MOVE".

If the selected search port is out of searching, click the search button, it will search inverter immediately.

If the selected search port is searching inverter, click the search button, it will prompt the port is under searching mode, then reject the search port requirement and continue the searching task it running before.

If the selected search port is communicating with several inverters, click the search button, after the searching process if there are new inverters be found out, these new inverters will be added into monitoring list.

Searching and communication of different ports are parallel and they won’t affect on each other.

Search Bluetooth:

Click Search Bluetooth option, the Search Bluetooth dialog box will pop-up and query about whether to start

Bluetooth searching. Select Yes button to start Bluetooth searching.

If the computer doesn’t support Bluetooth function, it will prompt that it can’t find relevant Bluetooth module.

If the software if under condition of searching

Bluetooth module, it will continue the searching task before and reject the later searching Bluetooth requirements.

If the Bluetooth module is out of working, click Yes button it will start Bluetooth searching immediately

If Bluetooth module is monitoring inverters, it will

6

stop all the communication tasks and search all the inverters that could be monitored via Bluetooth again

In order to reduce the time of searching, users should reset the searching address within range 1 to 7.

After searching monitor software will automatically start monitoring. Searching and monitoring of

Bluetooth and Serial port are parallel, they won’t affect on each other.

Communication of inverter:

Basic information of inverters will be storage into database, when restart this software it will automatically connect inverters and computer via Serial ports and Bluetooth modules.

Note:

If users don’t want to software automatically connect some inverters when restart, please right-click the inverter in list and choose “Properties” option. Detailed information refers to Inverter List Page.

4 Interface

25th Dec. 2012, then the displayed data will contain all the data of Dec. 2012)

The first histogram will display energy generation data since Jan. to Dec. this year by default, and selected the first month contains data.

The second histogram will display daily energy generation data of selected month in first histogram, and will selected the first day with data by default.

The third histogram will display detailed power curve of selected date in second histogram.

Notes:

If select the “Inverter” option in Inverter List panel it will display the total energy generation data or power curve of all inverters.

4.6 Historical Data Panel

Historical Data panel will display historical data of selected date. Date will be listed in chronological order.

If select the “Inverter” option in Inverter List panel the chart will display the detailed data of all the inverters in selected date.
