APsytems ECU-3 V8.0 Installation/User Manual 3 3
INTRODUCTION
The APsystems Communicator, our state-of-the-art Energy
Communication Unit (ECU), is the information gateway for our
microinverters. The unit collects module performance data from each
individual microinverter and transfers this information to an Internet
database in real time, requiring only a single data and power cable.
Through the APsystems Monitor software, the APsystems Communicator
gives you precise analysis of each microinverter and module in your
solar installation from any web-connected device. The APsystems
Communicator’s integrated http webserver offers the simplest and most
exible network integration of any data logger on the market. The user-
friendly browser-based interface lets you access your solar array in
seconds.
ECU functions as a gateway and monitors the microinverters that are
connected to the PV modules. Therefore, the communication between
inverters and ECU does not affect inverter performance, even if ECU fails
to communicate with the inverters. The ECU is NOT a revenue grade
metering device. Power production data collected by ECU is for reference
only, please check the power meter for the real power production of the
whole system.
