Description

Configuration / Data / Initial Yield

  • Dates provided with a 4 digit year are now processed correctly.

  • Yearly statistic data is now always summed up correctly.

Configuration / Devices / Configuration

Automatic distribution of MPP tracker power is now always equal to the total generator power of the device.
This mechanism is active during startup if the MPP tracker value of a device is not configured at this time.

Configuration / Direct Marketing

Following features are added:

  • upload configuration files for Interconnector

  • Visualization of current connection status to Interconnector

Configuration / Direct Marketing

The settings now get saved instead of reset when a file upload is done before saving the changes.

Configuration / Feed In Management / Reactive Power

It is now possible to configure U/Uref and P/Pn values with 3 instead of 2 decimal places for the Curves Q(P/Pn), CosPhi(P/Pn), Q(U/Uc), CosPhi(U/Uc).

Device detection

Changed the default name for newly detected devices to “Device”.

Device events

Fixed a bug where device events won’t be shown anymore and in the web portal the inverters were shown as offline.

Extension modules

Communication stability increased if 1 of 2 extension modules has failed.

Feed In Management Feedbacks without ModbusTCP PM license

Feedbacks which do not need ModbusTCP PM as feedback output now work also without a ModbusTCP PM license.

Increase data acquisition stability in combination with meters

Increase data acquisition stability with specific meter configurations and not available meters.

Missing Status/Error Strings

All Status/Error strings will be written again to base_vars.js during CSV Export via FTP.

Mod485 extension module

Stability improved.

Modbus TCP server

The Modbus TCP server now always accepts up to 4 parallel connections.

Network Configuration

When the Solar-Log is assigned an address by a DHCP server, the Solar-Log's hostname is now displayed in the router in the format SOLAR-LOG-XXXX. The last four characters in the hostname correspond to the last four digits of the serial number.

Network Configuration

Deny an incorrect subnetmask in the frontend and backend of the Solar-Log. Prevents saving of invalid configuration.

Power Management

In rare cases 0% was sent as command instead of the correct value.

Reactive Feed In Management - steering the cos(phi) with digital inputs

Steering the cos(phi) through 5 digital inputs of an Adam Box (configured via PM profiles) was not working as expected. In previous versions, only the first 4 digital inputs were working.

Security and Stability

Several adjustments are done to increase the security and stability topics.

System stability in case of corrupted data

Improve detection and cleanup of corrupted data which could lead to system instability.
