Talent-MG2 Monitoring System

The Monitor Device is the key component in Talent-MG2 monitoring system. It is the relay station of the monitoring system, which operates between the microinverters and the Monitoring Server. The Monitor Device communicates with the microinverters in the system via 2.4G RF wireless to collect the data and status of the microinverters in the system. At the same time, Monitor Device connects to the Internet through WIFI (Talent-MG2-WP) or GPRS (Talent-MG2-GP), which realizes the information exchange with the monitoring service and sends all the running data of microinverters and status of the system to the monitoring server. It receives the control commands from the monitoring server and sends the data to the microinverters in the system to achieve remote operation and maintenance.

Installation

1. Take two antennas out from the box, screw the antenna into the Wi-Fi/GPRS port and 2.4G port.
   Note: While installing Talent-MG2-GP, there are a GSM antenna and a 2.4G antenna. Do not insert the antenna to the wrong port.
   Note: While the monitor device is installed inside the metal box or under the metal / concrete roof, extended 2.4G cable or 2.4G sucker antenna will be suggested.

2. Insert the SIM Card into the SIM Card Slot, press the SIM Card in until you heard “Click” (only for Talent-MG2-GP).

3. Screw the bracket on the wall and use at least two screw holes (one from each side) to fix the bracket (the M4 screws need to be prepared by installer).

4. Match the bracket’s upper buckle with monitor device. Then match the bracket’s lower buckle by gently press the lower side of the monitor device until hear the“Click”.
   Note: Make sure the antennas are vertical to the wall.

5. Power on the monitor device.
   Note: Monitor device could also be put on the table. Make sure the antennas are vertical to the table.

Wi-Fi Configuration (Only Talent-MG2-WP)

1. Connect the wireless name of MG2-W via computer or mobile phone.
2. Open the browser and enter 10.10.100.254 to open the Wi-Fi configuration page. The username and password are ‘admin’ by default.

Website Configuration

Step 1: Install the microinverter and the monitoring device

1. Install the microinverter system. Please read the Quick Installation Guide or the User Manual of microinverter on www.tsun-ess.com/downloads before installation.
2. Install the monitoring device. Connect the power adapter into the socket
3. Make sure the microinverter system and the monitoring device are working well.

Step 2: Establish an account

1. Visit the monitor website pro.solarmanpv.com directly. Or enter this monitor website by the official website of TSUNESS www.tsun-ess.com.
2. Click the “Register” button and register a new account.

Step 3: Networking for the monitoring system

1. Login to the platform and find the “Network” page by Applications → Network. (Please make sure that the monitoring device has already connected to the server.)
2. Click “+Select” to input the SN of monitoring device.
3. Click “Upload Network Relationship” to download the template file. After editing the file, click “Select a File” to upload file.

Step 4: Create a Plant

1. Find the “Plants” page by Monitor → Plants. Click ‘Create a Plant’ to create a new plant.
2. Input basic information, system information, yield information and owner information in this page.
3. Click “Save” and add a monitoring device in this plant. Click “add a New Gateway/Logger” and input the SN of the monitoring device.
4. All the plants can be viewed and managed in “Plants” page.

2. Drag the components to the right side to finish the physical layout.

Remote active power control function

In some countries, it might require that the generating plants should be equipped with a logic interface (input port) in order to cease output active power or limit active power to a regulating level. This logic input can be RS485 port, Ethernet port, etc. Talent-MG2-WP/GP provide RTU Modbus protocol over RS485 port for this remote active power control. For more information, please refer to “Modbus implementation Technical Note”.

DRM function

DRM port is provided to support several demand response modes as below by connecting external control device with a standard RJ-45 connector. For Talent-MG2-WP/GP, it can support DRM0/5/6/7/8 if used with TSUN microinverters.

if capable
DRM4| Increase power consumption (subject to constraints from other active DRMs)
DRM5| Do not generate power
DRM6| Do not generate at more than 50% of rated power
DRM7| Do not generate at more than 75% of rated power AND Sink reactive power if capable
DRM8| Increase power generation (subject to constraints from other active DRMs)

Zero export control function

To maintain the safety and quality level of the grid network, some countries’ local grid authorities limit the PV generated power exporting to the grid. Zero export function can meet this requirement and help users install a bigger PV system without violating export regulations.

Step 1: Confirm the loads’ capacity for CT and Meter
Make sure the CT/Meter range can cover the maximum loads power or PV system generating power. There are 3 types of CHINT meter and different types of CT that you can choose base on the actual installation requirement.

CT
DTSU666(80A)| Three Phase| 10C013XXXXXX| Direct connect, NOT via any kind of CT
DTSU666(5A)| Three Phase| 10C012XXXXXX| Compatible with 100A/5A, 300A/5A, and 600A/5A CT
Grid Type| Meter Model
---|---
Single Phase System (230V)| DDSU666(60A)
Three Phase System (230V/400V)| DTSU666 (100A/5A,300A/5A, 600A/5A), DTSU666 (80A)
Split Phase System (120V/240V)
Three Phase System (120V/208V)

Note: There are several versions of CHINT meters in the market. The protocol in the meter is customermized for different inverter manufacturers. Please buy the CHINT meters from TSUN to ensure the usage of Zero Export Function.

Step 2: Install the meter and CT
CHINT DDSU666 Single Phase Meter (Direct connect)

CHINT DTSU666 Three Phase Meter (Direct connect)

CHINT DTSU666 Three Phase Meter (Via CT)

Make sure the CT (Current Transformer) has been installed in the right direction, otherwise will affect the current readings and Meter function. Meter install on the Load side, the CT arrow pointed to the Loads.

Step 3: Connect the meter to the RS485 port of monitor device
The picture below indicates the RS485 A Port and B Port on the monitor device.

When the RS485 cable length is more than 200m, use the shorting jumper on the first two ports from the RS485 port.

• For CHINT Single Phase Meter:
• For CHINT Three Phase Meter:

Step 4: Set zero export function on the monitor platform
Login to the platform and find the “Solar Plant” page by Monitor → Plants. Click it and enter the “Solar Plant” page.

Find the “DTU” page by Device → DTU. Click it and enter the “DTU” page.

There is a “Device Control” button on the right-up conner. Click it and enter the “Device Control” page.

Choose the “Set Zero Export” Command.

Choose the “ON” Command. Click “Send Command” button.

If the command is sent, it will show “Succeeded” in the page. Otherwise, it will show “Failed”.
