The latest version update of the Galooli Gateways includes features that reflect an open dialogue with our customers and Galooli’s desire to facilitate and improve hardware usage. This article contains information about the main features.
Inverter/Charger Device Group
The "Inverter-PV", and "Inverter-Battery" groups in the Elara device configuration process have been merged into a single group called “Inverter-Charger ”.
New parameters for the various devices
Query Retries
This parameter determines the number of times to remain in each register or object before concluding that communication is not normal. In general, the default value is 2 and this is the recommended value, although there may be occasions when we need to change it.
Connecting Timeout (Modbus over TCP & SNMP ETH devices)
This parameter determines whether or not the communication status should be checked prior to initiating the information request, and for how long. The default value is 0 and this is the official recommendation.
The two parameters are designed to ensure more stable communication, especially with solar inverters of different types.
Elara Ethernet Version
The Elara gateway's Ethernet module will be updated to “Gal-B”.
Parity Bit Configuration
As of this version, Galooli supports different "Parity Bit" options in addition to the "None" default option. The options are: “Even” and “Odd”, and that in order to facilitate new integrations with devices of varying versions. New options have been added to the Elara device configuration menu and the "Direct-Comm" menu.
