Compatibility · Ready for GridZeno

Solplanet hybrid with RS485 cable with GridZeno.

The battery is controlled with the inverter's operating mode. The dongle saves your own mode and puts it back afterwards. Applies to ASW H-T2, H-T3, H-T2/T3-DG, SH 8-10 kW and TH.

How the inverter is controlled

The dongle controls the battery with the inverter's operating mode.

Charge, hold and sell
The inverter is set to the user-defined mode with the battery's power. The plan's target and floor are written to the inverter's limits while the command is active.
Back afterwards
The dongle saves your own mode and puts it back afterwards. It only takes over from self-consumption or backup.
ASW TH
The battery is read but not controlled yet.
Stop selling at negative prices
The inverter's output is set quarter by quarter by the selling price, but only where the installer has turned the limit on. Solplanet's limit applies to the inverter's whole output, not just the sale to the grid. The dongle sets the installer's value back afterwards.
Manual
When the control is on Manual, the dongle changes nothing on the inverter. It reads, and if GridZeno has changed something, it puts the inverter's own settings back, including your own charge limits.

What is special about the Solplanet hybrid with RS485 cable

The storage block from input 1600 can be read, so it's a hybrid. The battery is there when 1606 is 0x000A, and a second battery when 31740 is 0x000A.

When the dongle takes over
Only from self use (2) or backup (3), and not while storage is switched off (41102 = 1). Your mode is saved and put back.
If the dongle goes quiet
The command is a stored setting and doesn't expire. With protocol V2.1.4 or newer, the plan's target is in 41154 and the floor in 41155, so the inverter stops there by itself. V2.1.1 doesn't have them.
ASW TH
No command: mode 4 is a full-power charge on the TH, and 41153 isn't held. The battery is read.

What the dongle allows for

  • An ASW10kH-T3 reads 41153 as 0x8000 at rest.
  • The documents give the charge level in 0.01 %, but real units send whole per cent. The dongle decides it from the battery's state of health (SOH).
  • Zero export in 41114 is shown as a limit of 0 and is never changed.
  • A command that can't be confirmed is removed in the same round. If 41153 reads 0xFFFF, the run mode isn't used any more.

How it differs from its neighbours

For the installer: the registers

What the dongle uses over Modbus, if you want to follow along or troubleshoot. Don't change the registers yourself while control is set to Automatic.

Control
Run mode 41104 = 4 and the power in 41153 (W, minus is charging). Target and floor in 41154 and 41155 in 0.01 %.
Meter
41108-41113, the power in 41112-41113 (plus is buying).
Identity
Input 1000-1029: 1000 is 3 on a three-phase unit, the model is in 1018-1025 and the rated power in 1027-1028. The model code in 31073: 1-5 are grid inverters, 11-16 hybrids.
Export limit
44001 is the installer's switch, 45403 the limit in 0.01 % of the rated power.
Address
3 from the factory, never 0.

From the dongle's firmware and our notes on each inverter, not from the datasheet.

04

How to connect the dongle

Network cable with RJ45 plug. Approx. 30 minutes. Needs an electrician: the inverter has to be opened.

Port
Monitor (on the TH: Third_485)
Pin
A at pin 1 (RS485A), B at pin 2 (RS485B), GND at pin 3 (GND)
Where
On the communication board behind the inverter's communication cover. On the H-T2 and H-T3 it is RJ45 port 3 (COM2), on the DG port 3 just above the TCP/IP port, on the SH 8-10 kW CN707, which the cable reaches through the cable gland COM1 behind the lower front cover, and on the TH CN407 (COM3).

Before you buy

This one works.

Solplanet hybrid with RS485 cable is the inverter GridZeno has been tested on. Check that your model is under ASW H-T2, H-T3, H-T2/T3-DG, SH 8-10 kW and TH, and that a battery is fitted if you want the battery controlled by the electricity price. If it still doesn't suit you, you have 100 days' free return.
