3.3 Changing the power characteristic curve
Figure 3: Connection to PC (example)
Ensure that the operating mode "Turbine" is activated.
In addition to the communications possibilities described in the attached Sunny Boy installation guide,
you can also implement a simple parameter setting using an optional "USB service interface". This
special cable allows communication between a PC and a single Windy Boy.
You need to install the Windy Boy Setup Tool version 1.0.6 or Sunny Data Control software on your
PC, which is available from the download area at www.SMA-America.com. The Windy Boy Setup
Tool and the Sunny Data Control software are PC programs for direct monitoring and configuration
of your Windy Boy, which also allow visualization and logging of various system parameters.
The USB service interface can only be used by opening the Windy Boy.
• Observe the safety instructions in the operating and installation manuals for your Windy Boy.
Requirement the power characteristic curve
In order to configure the Windy Boy, a DC input voltage - the minimum open-circuit voltage for
activating the operating mode "Turbine" - is needed. In addition, the Windy Boy must be
connected to the grid voltage.
Not suitable for permanent installation
Once you have finished setting the parameters, the service interface must be removed and the
Windy Boy must be closed. The connection is therefore not suitable for permanent installation.
