According to the product protocol, the following steps should be taken:
“Modbus” protocol - The Physical Device ID should be configured using the manual guideline that came with the device. Keep a record of the Physical Device ID so you can use it later.
“Modbus over TCP” protocol - The Device IP address should be configured within the same range as this of the
...
Galooli gateway using the manual instructions provided with the device. For example Elara IP is 192.168.100.101 by default. Keep a record of the Device IP Address so you can use it later.
“SNMP” protocol - The Device IP address should be configured within the same range as this of the Galooli gateway using the manual instructions provided with the device. For example Elara IP is 192.168.100.101 by default. Keep a record of the Device IP Address so you can use it later.
Disconnect the device from the computer.
Download the Galooli Power Center platform.
Assemble the Elara gateway and connect it to a power source and your computer.
Connect the the new device to the Elara gateway.
Open the Power Center and make a serial connection to the Elara gateway.
Configure the new device in the Power Center:

We will now demonstrate an example on how to integrate a new generator panel (RS485-Modbus). |
Depending on the device communication method/protocol, select the appropriate method of adding the device to the Power Center.
:
RS485-Modbus → “Add Port 1 Device”
Ethernet-Modbus over TCP → “Add MODBUS ETH Device”
Ethernet-SNMP → “Add SNMP ETH Device”
Select the appropriate device type and any model of the device from the list. Following this action, you must >> change the "Physical Device ID" to the device ID you specified in the previous paragraph (Paragraph 43). Click “Apply”.

Later in the document, you will find a table summarizing the recommendations for selecting a model when integrating a new product. The specific model indicated in the table contains the most parameters for the purpose of integration, so we recommend it. |
...
Click "Write configuration", wait until the process is complete, and then click "Reset".
...
Choose the "Configuration" tab, double click on the existing device, and delete all the registers one by one. The ID and Port lines should not be erased.
After all the registers are erased, click on the “Port” line and click on “Add item”.
The following wizard will allow you to choose the appropriate register first “Assignment” and specify the different parameters for that register related to your new deviceassignment. You can find all the data in the technical specifications/datasheet of the product. If necessary, you may need to contact the manufacturer. Complete the process by applying the changes.
Listed below are Galooli's recommendations for the required assignments.
Click "Write configuration", wait until the process is complete, and then click "Reset".
