11. 4 Direct Data Acquisition from an Inverter
This chapter describes how to acquire and save data from an inverter connected directly to the PC,
and how to send these to Sunny Portal. With a direct connection of a PC to an inverter, the data can
only be saved as CSV data (SUO format, SMA-Sunny Online).
11.4. 1 Set data storage
The settings for the data storage of an inverter which is directly connected to the PC are described
below.
1. Choose "Continuous data recording/settings"
The "Settings" window opens.
2. Change the frequency with which data from the inverter should be queried in the field
"Request cycle". At the "User" security level this is preset at 30 seconds. At the "Installer"
security level this is preset at 15 seconds.
Note on SB4000TL-20/5000TL-20 and Sunny Portal.
If the data from SB 4000TL-20/5000TL-20 is queried via Bluetooth, it cannot be sent to
Sunny Portal.
• To send the data to Sunny Portal, it must be queried via RS485 communication.
