The main components of the ETHERNET expansion board are shown in the figure below and described in the following table:

Main componentsA Connection terminalsB Ethernet port

C Mechanical mounting bracket

The Ethernet cable for the connection of the “ETHERNET expansion board” must be fed through the inverter service cable gland shown in the figure below. This cable gland is equipped with a special gasket that fits the cable with the preinstalled connector:

Once the cable is fed through the cable gland, proceed with the installation of the supplied toroid:

Finally connect the cable to the Ethernet port on the accessory board.

The “ETHERNET expansion board” allows to connect the inverter to a local LAN network via an Ethernet connection.

The “ETHERNET expansion board” features an integrated web server that enables to establish a direct connection to a PC, allowing for board configu-ration and local monitoring of the inverter.

The inside of the inverter may only be accessed after the equipment has been disconnected from the grid and from the photovoltaic generator.

• Turn off the inverter by physically disconnecting the AC and DC voltages, as well as any voltage connected to the multi-function relay.

• Open the inverter front cover.

• Install the ETHERNET board by fitting the connection terminals A in the special receptacle on the inverter control and communication board (SLOT 1).During this step, check that all the terminals are correctly aligned. Any terminal misalignment may result in damage to the ETHERNET board and/or to the inverter.

• Tighten the locking screw to fix the Ethernet board to the inverter. The screw secures the mounting bracket C to the anchor point on the inverter.

Upon starting the inverter for the first time after the ETHERNET board has been installed, a new “ETHERNET Board” section is added to the SET-TINGS menu, with the following tree:

• “DHCP” section Enables/disables dynamic address assignment of the Ethernet board.If DHCP is disabled, the Ethernet board IP address must be manually set (“IP Address” section).

• “Address IP” section Sets the Ethernet board IP address.

• “Gateway” section Sets the IP address of the gateway receiving the data from the monitored system.

• “Netmask” sectionSets the subnet mask for the Internet network.

• “Primary DNS” sectionSets the primary DNS for the Internet network.

• “Secondary DNS” section Sets the secondary DNS for the Inter-net network.

• “Portal IP add.” sectionSets the Aurora Vision® portal IP ad-dress.

• “AV Method” sectionEnables/disables data transmission to the Aurora Vision®/Plant Viewer portal.

• “Data to portal” sectionEnables/disables data transmission to the portal

• “Send events” sectionEnables/disables sending events (error codes) to the portal.

• “Check Updates” sectionEnables/disables checking for “ETHERNET expansion board” firmwa-re updates.

• “Data send time” sectionSets the time for the data transmission to the portal (not available on the current product version). The default value is 900 seconds.

An internal webserver integrated in the Ethernet board is available for con-figuration and monitoring.

The HOME screen shows general information about the network (IP ad-dress, MAC address, date and time), the generated energy, the CO2 emis-sions and the inverter (output power, inverter model and inverter state).

• VIEW menuDisplays specific information about the inverter (inverter info) and the system (system info).

•CONFIG menu Enter the default username and password (admin/admin) to edit system and network parameters, date and time, and password.

• UPGRADE menuUpdates the Ethernet board firmware.

• REGISTRATION menuUsed to register on the Aurora Vision® portal.

The device must be used in the manner described in the manual. If this is not the case the safety devices gua-ranteed by the inverter might be ineffective.
