8.1.5 Overview of a Single Device
To view the data of one specific device, select the device in the device view or the structural view.
The various data pertaining to the device can be displayed and, if necessary, edited via the
"Overview", "Spot Values" and "Parameters" tabs.
8.2 Detecting Devices
All devices (i.e. inverters) can be detected at once. If you later wish to add additional devices to the
PV plant, you can detect them using the Sunny WebBox.
Before beginning detection, you must set the type of communication for the PV plant (see page 56).
1. Select "Plant > Detection" in the user interface.
☑ The "Plant detection" page opens.
2. In the "Total number of devices to be detected" field, enter the number of devices connected to
the Sunny WebBox.
3. Select [Start detection].
☑ The Sunny WebBox starts detecting all devices and displays its progress. Once all devices
have been detected, the Sunny WebBox displays "### Device detection finished ###".
4. Select [OK].
☑ The "Plant > Devices" page is displayed. The devices have been detected.
Re-detecting devices after changes to the PV plant
Devices will need to be re-detected if you:
• Exchange devices in your PV plant.
• Remove devices from your PV plant.
• Add devices to your PV plant.
Detection of a PV plant may take several minutes
Depending on the number of devices in your PV plant, the detection process may vary in
duration. If the Sunny WebBox does not signal any progress for more than three minutes,
cancel the search process. To do so, click the [Cancel] button. Check that all devices are
connected properly to your plant and repeat the detection.
