4 Product Overview
SMA Solar Technology AG
Operating manual SBxx-1AV-41-BE-en-10 15
Smart Inverter Screen
The Smart Inverter Screen enables you to view the status display and to display the current power
and consumption on the user interface login page. You therefore have an overview of the most
important inverter data without having to log into the user interface.
The Smart Inverter Screen is deactivated by default. The Smart Inverter Screen can be activated via
the user interface once the inverter has been commissioned.
SMA Speedwire
The product is equipped with SMASpeedwire as standard. SMASpeedwire is a type of
communication based on the Ethernet standard. SMASpeedwire is designed for a data transfer
rate of 100Mbps and enables optimum communication between Speedwire devices within
systems.
SMA Webconnect
The inverter is equipped with a Webconnect function as standard. The Webconnect function
enables direct data transmission between the inverters and Internet portals SunnyPortal and
SunnyPlaces without any additional communication device and for a maximum of 4 inverters per
visualized system. In PV systems with more than 4 inverters, there is the option of establishing data
transmission between the inverters and SunnyPortal via the data logger (e.g.,
SMADataManager) or distributing the inverters over several systems. If there is an existing WLAN
or Ethernet connection, you can directly access your visualized system via the web browser on your
end device.
Webconnect enables - for PV systems operated in Italy - the connection or disconnection of the
inverter to or from the utility grid and the specifying of the frequency limits to be used via
IEC61850-GOOSE messages.
WLAN
The product is equipped with a WLAN interface as standard. The inverter is delivered with the
WLAN interface activated as standard. If you do not want to use WLAN, you can deactivate the
WLAN interface.
In addition, the product has a WPS function. The WPS function is for automatically connecting the
product to a network (e.g. via router) and establish a direct connection between the product and
an end device.
Modbus
The product is equipped with a Modbus interface. The Modbus interface is deactivated by default
and must be configured as needed.
The Modbus interface of the supported SMA products is designed for industrial use – via SCADA
systems, for example – and has the following tasks:
• Remote query of measured values
• Remote setting of operating parameters
• Setpoint specifications for system control
Grid management services
The product is equipped with service functions for grid management.
