General Information; Overview - Morningstar EMC-1 Manual Del Operador

1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Overview

The EMC-1 is a MODBUS
converter that bridges a TCP/IP connection to a
Morningstar charge controller or inverter (Morningstar
Device) not having built-in Ethernet connectivity. The
connected device needs to have a Meterbus (RJ-11)
port.
The EMC-1 acts as an Ethernet gateway that serves
MODBUS IP, local Web pages, and Web Monitoring
Services. Note that the Web Monitoring Service is
not available as of this printing. Ethernet connectivity
allows users to remotely collect information about
their off-grid PV system. Ethernet networks also
include local area networks (LANs) and Internet
communications.
The EMC-1 supports the following communication
capabilities with a Morningstar Device:
• Morningstar LiveView
and Network settings changes;
• Monitoring, logging and custom programming
using Morningstar MSView
• (Future use) Web monitoring for data reporting and
visibility to a 3rd party .
