Serial No. and Check Code

EnerLog’s serial number (SN) is a code consisting of letters and numbers affixed on the EnerLog outer package and on the EnerLog case. The check code (CC) is a 5-digit code consisting of letters and numbers affixed on the EnerLog outer package and on the EnerLog case. The serial number and check code of each EnerLog are unique and are used to identify the individual EnerLog. When uploading EnerLog data to the web server, you need to add EnerLog to the server by adding the serial number and the verification code corresponding to the serial number. The serial No. and ‘check code’ corresponding to register on the server are needed.

Function Introduction

EnerLog supports network communication, and can connect with cloud server through wired WLAN. Upload the monitored data to the server of ATESS, and then access the server’s domain name to realize industrial common communication mode RS485. It also supports wired communication to monitor, set slave devices and perform online upgrades on devices. By accessing EnerLog’s internal IP address, you can enter the internal page for parameter setting, device adding and viewing (please refer to section 4.4).
EnerLog monitors the devices through RS485.

Installation and Connection

Installation environment

EnerLog installation environment and communication requirements for other devices:

1. Indoor installation, temperature environment -25℃～55℃, avoid humidity and direct sunlight.
2. The maximum communication distance of wired RS485 is 500m, and attention should be paid to prevent interference.
3. The length of the network cable between the router should not exceed 1000m.

Installation method

Installation

The installation steps are as follows:

1. Install EnerLog on a vertical or horizontal surface.
2. Connect the connection line between the RS485 interface on the EnerLog and the RS485 interface on the device (for details, please refer to 3.3.1 below).
3. Communication method
4. Standard version: Connect the network cable.
5. Power connection selection (choose one of the methods to connect to the power supply)
6. EnerLog distributes a set of DC12V output power adapters and conversion plugs with five standards in China, Britain, the United States, Europe and Australia to adapt to the socket standards of different countries.
7. EnerLog is equipped with a 12V～24V DC power input port, and the positive and negative poles need to be correctly connected.

Connect with device

EnerLog can communicate with energy storage inverters, BMS and other equipment to achieve the purpose of data collection.

RS485 cable connection

1. EnerLog (master) and device (slave) communicate through RS485 wired connection. The 485-A on the RS485 port of the device corresponds to A1, A2 or A3 on the EnerLog 485 port, and the 485-B on the RS485 port corresponds to Corresponding to B1, B2 or B3 on the EnerLog 485 port. The following is a schematic diagram of the connection between EnerLog and the inverter:
   
   The functions of the A1B1, A2B2, and A3B3 channels are the same.

2. The inverter and the inverter are connected to the EnerLog through the RS485 line parallel connection, and the RS485 wired communication connection is adopted. The EnerLog can stably monitor up to 60 devices (each RS485 channel connects 20 devices).

3. Other 485 communication equipment such as: BMS, combiner box, etc., the connection method is the same as that of the inverter.

4. Notice:

5. The inverter and the inverter are connected to the EnerLog through the RS485 cable in parallel, using the RS485 wired communication to connect, the EnerLog can stably monitor a maximum of 60 devices (each RS485 channel is connected to 20 devices).

6. Among the three 485 channels of EnerLog, channel 1 and 2 are connected with 120Ω matching resistors. So when one or more inverters are connected to EnerLog, one of the inverters performs 485 communication, one inverter must be connected to a 120Ω matching resistor to avoid affecting the communication (in one channel of 485, only one of multiple inverters can be connected to a matching resistor, and multiple inverters cannot be connected to a matching resistor at the same time) , it is recommended to connect the matching resistor to the farthest inverter. 3 channels are not connected with matching resistors and are dedicated channels for electricity meters.

7. Environmental detectors, combiner boxes and other equipment must be manufacturers designated by ATESS, otherwise monitoring cannot be achieved.

EnerLog Internal Page parameter setting

Precautions for configuration page operation:

1. If the interface is not refreshed for a long time after clicking save when adding a device, please power off the collector and restart it. Re-enter this page after restarting, click “device status” to check whether the last operation was successful.
2. When configuring the parameters of the corresponding function, you only need to configure the parameters of the corresponding function according to the above method, and do not modify the other parameters that cannot be made.

IP access method

It is recommended to use EnerLog with a router. EnerLog uses a router to access the Internet by default, so the first time you log in to the internal EnerLog page, you need to search for the IP address through the router backend to log in.

Dynamic IP login

1. Connect the PC and EnerLog to the same router so that they are in the same LAN.

2. Find the IP address of EnerLog
   Take the H3C router as an example: Go to the router’s management page, click “DHCP Server→Server List”, and find the client name that is the same as EnerLog’s serial number SN. This IP is the IP address assigned to EnerLog by the router.
   
   Note: The router must enable the DHCP function, otherwise the IP address cannot be assigned automatically.

3. Enter EnerLog’s IP address in the browser to enter EnerLog’s internal page.

Static IP login

When EnerLog uses a static IP to access the Internet, you need to use a static IP to log in to the internal page.

1. Connect the computer and EnerLog directly with a network cable.

2. On the computer “Network and Sharing Center” page, modify the computer’s IP address and EnerLog’s IP address to be in the same network segment.

3. For example, if the static IP address set by EnerLog is 192.168.0.2, then the computer IP address can be set as:
   
   Note: no need to set DNS server address.

4. After the computer IP setting is completed, enter the IP address of EnerLog on the computer browser page to access the internal page.

Login to the internal page

Before access, check whether the communication cable between the devices is firmly connected. After the check is correct, you can enter the EnerLog IP address in the browser to enter the internal EnerLog page.

Note: EnerLog and the computer must be in the same network segment, otherwise the internal page cannot be accessed.

1. Find the IP address of EnerLog in the router, and enter the IP address in the web address of the browser to log in to the internal EnerLog  page, as shown in the figure below:
   

2. Enter the user name and password, the default login user name: admin password: admin, fill in and click to log in.

When the device cannot be used with the router during installation, it can only use a fixed IP to connect to the network, so the first time you enter the built in page, you need to use the following methods to log in.
After EnerLog is started, you can use this method to log in to the built in page for the first 2 minutes. If it exceeds 2 minutes, the DHCP function will be automatically enabled.

1. 1. Directly connect the computer and EnerLog with a network cable.

2. On the “Network and Sharing Center” page of the computer, modify the IP address of the computer,
   The default static IP address of EnerLog is 192.168.0.254, then the computer IP address can be set to:
   

3. After the computer IP setting is completed, enter the default IP address (192.168.0.254) of EnerLog on the computer browser page to access the built-in page.

4. Refer to chapter 4.6.1, the IP of the fixed EnerLog can be modified, and then only the modified IP can be used to log in. If you forget it, you can reset the EnerLog by referring to Chapter 6.1. Note that the reset will clear all data, so be careful.

5. If you do not modify the fixed IP of EnerLog, you can still use this method to enter the built-in page every time.
