Changing Slave Addresses in a Cluster


Qualified person

If you want to change slave addresses (e.g. after replacing a Sunny Island inverter), you can assign the slaves a new address via the user interface. Only the address is changed; all other configurations remain as they were, e.g., assignment of the clusters in a multicluster system. When replacing a master, you must reconfigure the cluster (see the quick reference guide for the relevant system for configuring single-cluster operation or multicluster operation).

Requirements:

  • All Sunny Island inverters must be switched off.

Procedure:

  1. Switch the slaves on first, and then the master Switching on the Sunny Island).
  2. Activate the user interface of the inverter Establishing a connection to the user interface).
  3. Log in as Installer Logging In and Out of the User Interface).
  4. Start the installation assistant.
  5. Select [Save and next] for each step up to the step System setup.
  6. For a single-phase system, set the parameter Type to Single phase.
  7. For a three-phase system, set the parameter Type to Three phase.
  8. Under System devices, set the parameters Serial number and Phase assignment as follows.
  9. Serial number

    Phase assignment

    Serial number of the master

    Line conductor L1

    Serial number slave 1

    Line conductor L2

    Serial number slave 2

    Line conductor L3

  10. Select [Save and next] until the installation assistant closes.
  11. Start the system Starting the System).
