7.6.3 XML Files
Information on XML files
The Sunny WebBox saves the collected data of the PV plant in an XML file every five minutes.
To reduce the number of data items and the data volume, the new XML files are automatically
compressed into a zip file and saved on the integrated FTP server or the SD card every 15 minutes.
In general, each compressed file contains 3 XML files. The decimal separator and the time format
within the files are dependent on the country-specific settings of the Sunny WebBox (see Section 7.3
”Country Settings” (page 45)). For the structure of the XML file, see Section 11.3 ”Structure of an XML
Data File” (page 83).
