Computer Communications with the PV100S
The PV100S provides multiple options for communicating system status or data
logging through a personal computer using the Xantrex Solar Graphic User
Interface (GUI) software.
The Xantrex Solar Graphic User Interface (GUI) software is a Windows™-based
program that:
• displays system status,
• accesses inverter controls,
• accesses metering and data logging capabilities, and
• controls protective functions.
If multiple inverters are networked together, the software is capable of tracking up
to 50 inverters on the same network.
Determine which method will be used to communicate with the PV100S and
ensure the appropriate hardware is in place before proceeding with installing the
GUI. See the “PC Connection Methods” section of the PV100S 100 kW Grid-tied
Photovoltaic Inverter Planning and Installation Manual for instructions on
establishing the desired connection if this has not already been done.
