1 1 Introduction to the software 1/2 1 Introduction to the software The monitoring software is matched with our company controller. It can monitor different controller models for local monitor and remote monitor. Main functions include: displaying real-time data for wind power, solar panel power, battery; storage and transferring system operation data; modify and set the controller parameters; control wind turbine operating status. Monitoring data displays through curvilinear figure, real-time data tables, stimulated diagrams and other forms. Users can be warned by alarm mode, the alarm content is saved automatically for reference. This software is simple to use with large capacity, full functions, multi-language version, etc. The following are brief introduction to every function model. Multi-type interface unit: The software supports a variety of forms such as serial com port, GPRS, internet etc. Controller can directly be connected with serial port in the local; when the controller is distributed in different locations, especially in the wild, you can connect it through the GPRS or wired Internet. Access types can be mixed in use. And a typical multi-use-pattern is showing below: Database Storage Unit: This software can choose the MYSQL database system or ACCESS database system according to node number. ACCESS database system is recommended for a dozen or dozens of node numbers. It is convenient and quick and you do not need to install separately but with limited storage capability. So for hundred of node number, user is recommended to choose MYSQL database system (If choose the MYSQL database, user need to install the MYSQL database software at the end of the software installation.) Multi-type Display Unit: Software display type includes the trends chart, mimic diagram, data table, multi-channel display. Trends chart shows node data trends of the controller in a period time. The graph can show the data for wind, solar and battery. Mimic diagram directly show the wind turbine, wind power, solar power data and running state. Date table shows real-time data intensively through the database forms, data refresh auto by time. Multi-channel display divides by region, the running state of the controller in the region shall be displayed in which you choose.

2 1 Introduction to the software 2/2 Parameter configuration unit No matter the access form is a serial port GPRS or wired network, the software can configure and control the controller running state. After connected with PC, the system can identify different types of controller auto, user can check and adjust the parameters, change wind turbine running state or reset factory default through the software.

Or click Restore Factory button to restore the factory parameters. Otherwise you can select another controller name and click Connect button to view or change it s parameters. The meaning of parameters is described as following. General: Release Voltage, when battery voltage is up to the voltage, the controller begins to unload. Release Current, when wind current is up to the current, the controller begins to unload. Device ID, is the number of controller.

19 3 2/6 Charge: it applys for the lower-voltage-charge controllers. The admittance and start charge should be set according to the characteristics of the wind turbine output so that the wind turbine could achieve the best effect to match the controller. Output: Less Voltage, when battery voltage is lower than the voltage, the load will be off. Over Voltage, when battery voltage is up to the voltage, the load will be off. LessVolRes voltage, if the battery voltage increases to the voltage from lower-voltage state first time, the load will be on again. Day point voltage, if the sun panels output voltage is upper than the voltage, the controller predicates that it s day time. Night Point voltage, if the sun panels output voltage is lower than the voltage, the controller predicates that it s night time. The day point voltage and night point voltage can be used to control the load state. Load: Load output mode setting, including light control on/off, light control on/time control off, always on/off, light control on/off/time control half power, light control on/time control half power/ time control off, always half power.

44 4 1/1 4.6 GPRS monitoring system For scattered area, it can realize remote wireless monitoring through the GPRS DTU and cloud server developed by our company. The system diagram shows as below Operation steps: 1. Insert the SIM card opened GPRS data transmission function to the card slot of GPRS DTU, connect the controller to GPRS DTU via rs232 serial port cable and power on the DTU. 2. Start the monitoring software in the monitor computer. Select Parameters Setting->Area & Node Setting, add area and node, the interface type is WM Server, Input Module ID and Password which are labeled on the GPRS DTU if it is used first time. After the node logins the remote server, you can change the Password in the area and node setting interface. 3. Restart the software, the node will login the remote server automatically and begin to sample data.

45 4 1/1 4.7 Mixed monitoring system For the monitoring systems which have different communication ways and scattered places, all-in-one mixed monitoring is accepted. It is made up of RS232/485 serial port ways, wired communication ways, GPRS wireless communication ways etc. It can centralize several monitoring system. The system diagram shows as below. Configuration steps please refer to above.

46 5 FAQ 1/1 5 FAQ 5.1 No data display when serial port collecting Display real time electrical quantities in the bottom of tendency chart, if data display is always 0.0, please check status indicator light in the bottom right corner. If communication indicator light is yellow and display communication no signal, that is communication bug possibly, user should check serial port s hardware connection and serial port setting of parameters setting. If both connection and setting are correct, please check whether the controller is powered up correctly. 5.2 No operating right For the parameters setting and staff management, dialog box about operating right may pop out, user can switch to the user in the menu who has related right to operate again. 5.3 GPRS can not collect data after collecting for a while Check whether network environment is changed or not, whether SIM is overdue or not. 5.4 Data can not be collected after setting Area and Node After setting Area and Node, system should restart the software. 5.5 Still pictures with USB to serial port module collecting If use serial port collecting, it is recommended to use PC with serial port. If use USB virtual serial port, the software may not read data successfully as USB virtual serial port is unstable. 5.6 Vista/Windows7 system saving data fault Vista and Windows7 system strengthens user permission management. At the configuration area panel port, software need read-write magnetic disk file when outputting Excel file, if user has no writing magnetic disk authorization, will cause software running abnormal, so it is necessary to assign software writing magnetic disk authorization.
