Connecting Message Devices for Operating States and Warning Messages
Qualified person
You can connect message devices to the multifunction relays to allow operating states and warning messages from the Sunny Island inverter to be output. 1 of the following operating states and warning messages can be displayed for each multifunction relay:
The generator is running and connected.
Voltage and frequency of the utility grid are within the range for connection.
A Sunny Island displays an error message of level 2 or higher. Only the error messages within a cluster are evaluated here. A different control logic of level 2 ensures that the error message will also be displayed in the case of automatic shutdown:
When an error message of level 2 is pending, the multifunction relay is deactivated.
When no error message is pending, the multifunction relay is activated.
A Sunny Island displays a warning. Only the warnings within a cluster are evaluated here.
The Sunny Island is in operation in a single system.
The respective cluster is in operation in a cluster system.
The Sunny Island is in derating in a single system.
The respective cluster is in derating in a cluster system.
Table with settings for multifunction relays:
Value | Version |
|---|---|
Relay is activated when the generator is running | The generator is running and connected. |
Relay is activated when an external source is available | Voltage and frequency of the generator are within the range for connection. |
Relay is activated when the utility grid is available | The utility grid is connected in the off-grid system. |
Relay is deactivated in the event of an error | A Sunny Island displays an error message of level 2 or higher. |
Relay is activated in the event of a warning | A Sunny Island displays a warning. |
Relay is activated when the cluster is running | In a single system, the Sunny Island is operating, or in a cluster system, the cluster is operating. |
Relay is activated in the event of power limitation | In a single system, a Sunny Island is in derating, or in a cluster system, the cluster is in derating. |
Requirements:
The technical requirements of the multifunction relay must be met ( > Technical Data).
Cable requirements:
Conductor type: copper wire
Conductor cross-section: 0.2 mm² to 2.5 mm²
Procedure:
- When making the following connections, always insert a silicone tube ( > Connecting Relay 1 and Relay 2).
- Connect the control cable on the Sunny Island to either multifunction relay Relay1 or Relay2. Use the C and NO connections.
- Enter the selected configuration in the table with the settings for the multifunction relays ( > Setting the Functions of the Multifunction Relays).
WARNING
Danger to life from electric shock due to incorrect insulation
In the case of faulty insulation, supposedly de-energized parts or cables may be live. Touching live components or cables can result in death or serious injury due to electric shock.
