4 Communication Products for Configuring PV Inverters
PV Inverters with RS485
You can configure PV inverters with RS485 using the following communication products:
• Sunny WebBox
• Sunny Boy Control
• Computer with Sunny Data/Sunny Data Control software
For PV inverters without RS485 Piggy-Back or RS485 data module, you will also need a service cable for data
transmission (USB Service Interface, SMA order number: USBPBS).
PV Inverters with Speedwire
You can configure PV inverters with Speedwire using the following communication products:
• Sunny Explorer
• SMA Cluster Controller
SMA Grid Guard code required to change grid-relevant parameters
To change grid-relevant parameters in the PV inverter after ten operating hours, you will need the SMA Grid Guard
code.
• Select a communication product corresponding to the type of communication and the PV inverter used.
• Apply for an SMA Grid Guard code to change grid-relevant parameters (for an application for the SMA Grid
Guard code, see the certificate "Application for SMA Grid Guard Code" at www.SMA-Solar.com).
