Plug & Play controller for PV and PV-Hybrid plants

Seamless integration with on-grid hybrid inverters, gensets, and power meters

Overview

ECpvH

Description

Introducing the ENcombi plug-and-play controller, designed for PV and PV-Hybrid plants with on-grid hybrid inverters.

Effortlessly connect with on-grid hybrid inverters, genset controllers and power meters through RS-485 or TCP/IP. Gain complete control over grid export, self-consumption, and manage off-grid generator operations in parallel with your solar plant, leading to fuel savings.

For setups that incorporate both on-grid and on-grid hybrid inverters, you can also integrate the ECpvX, allowing for the use of inverters from different brand within the same system.

Using the ECpanel, you have a plug and play HMI operator panel without doing any application programming.

Setup and monitoring is easily done via the ECweb, describing every step of the setup and providing you with a wide range of monitoring and reports - run it on your PC or on mobile devices. With the new EClogic feature, you can program custom logics - a simple and powerful tool.

Use the ECcloud remote monitoring system web app for live and historical data visualization and analysis or your PV and PV-Genset plants. You can get to try it out for a full 90 days free of charge when purchasing any ECpv2 variant.

The hardware is a high quality, fast and extremely compact unit allowing you to fit it into almost any electrical cabinet at your site when doing brownfield projects.

As standard, the unit covers up to 16 on-grid hybrid inverters, 16 PV feeders, and 16 mains connections in all variants, and up to 16 gensets in all PV/Genset variants.

Product FAQ

ECpvH

ECpvH questions

What are the hardware specs?

A DIN rail unit of 107 × 22.5 × 119 mm (H × W × D), weighing about 200 g.

It runs on 24 VDC ±15% (250 mA max) and operates from −20 °C to +70 °C. It has 1 × Ethernet and 2 × isolated RS485 ports, and an 8 GB industrial-grade SD card is included.

Can I upgrade to another variant later?

Yes. All five variants run on the same hardware.

After buying a license or extra, you activate it in ECweb, either online or from a USB stick.

Can I go beyond 16 inverters, or mix inverter brands?

Yes, by stacking. One ECpvH controls up to 16 inverters of the same make.

For more, or for a mix of makes, each inverter cluster gets its own ECpvH, and a master ECpvH controls them all. Gensets can be stacked the same way.

How does it start and stop gensets?

It handles load-dependent start and stop, with one routine for non-synchronising gensets and one for synchronising gensets that have their own load-dependent start/stop scheme.

Can I try it before going to site?

Yes. Simulation mode lets you run ECpvH in the office without any real equipment connected.

You can apply test loads, run through the control schemes and see how data is shown from plant level down to each component.

Where does the data go?

Locally, event, summary and production logs are stored on USB or the SD card; alarms are sent by email, and logs by email or FTP.

With the ECcloud extra or during the free trial, ECpvH pushes data to the ENcombi database, and the site shows in ECcloud as soon as it is registered.

What happens to my settings when I update the software?

An update resets all settings and energy counters to their defaults.

Back up the settings and counters first (on the controller, a USB stick or the ENcombi cloud) and load them back afterwards.
