Radian-Class Inverter Data Stream
12 900-0137-01-00 Rev A
EXAMPLE:
A grid-interactive inverter has a SellRE setting of 51.2 Vdc and 10 amps
(1200 watts) of AC output load on L1. DC sources contribute 480 watts to
the battery. The inverter maintains the battery at 51.2 Vdc by converting
the excess 480 watts of DC power to AC. The inverter mode displays
Support with the Inverter Current meter showing 4 amps (480 watts) of
production. The Buy Current would show 6 amps (720 watts), for 600
watts of total AC load current. If the AC load was removed, the inverter
would have Sell Enabled as the mode and show 4 amps of Sell Current.
Error Codes: This is an ASCII expression of an 8-bit binary string, displayed in values ranging from 000 to 255.
Each bit represents a different error as shown in Table 10. If more than one error occurs, the values are additive.
For example, an overtemp error and backfeed error would return an ASCII value of 132 (a binary value of
1000100).
AC Mode: This represents the status of the AC input. The range is 00 to
99, but only three states are in use. No AC means that no AC source has
been detected by the inverter. AC Drop means that AC is present but the
inverter is not allowed to accept it. AC Use means AC is present and
valid, and the inverter will utilize it.
Battery Voltage: The DC voltage as measured at the inverter’s battery
terminals. The range is 000 to 999, incorporating one decimal place. For
example, a 24.8 Vdc battery voltage will be sent as ‘248’. The resolution
of battery voltage is 0.1 Vdc for 12-volt systems, 0.2 Vdc for 24-volt
systems, and 0.4 Vdc for 48-volt systems.
Misc Byte: This is an ASCII expression of an 8-bit binary string, displayed
in values ranging from 000 to 255. Only certain bits are in use at this
time. Each bit represents a different condition. Bit 7 indicates the priority
of the inverter’s two AC inputs. Bit 8 indicates the Radian inverter’s
nominal output voltage.
Warning Codes: This is an ASCII expression of an 8-bit binary string,
displayed in values ranging from 000 to 255. Each bit represents a
different warning as shown in Table 13. If more than one warning occurs,
the values are additive. For example, a low AC input voltage and low AC
input frequency would return an ASCII value of 010 (a binary value of
00001010).
Checksum: This is a simple additive checksum of the decimal values of
the data stream. Range is 000 to 999.
