The Cut Trough to the rectifier allows you to get data and even set it depending on the data types.
Communication with the rectifier is accomplished through SNMP over Ethernet.
Data Type | Can it be read? | Can it be set? | Data Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
Static Data - Configuration Data |
|
| “Generator On Voltage” |
Static Data - Other Data |
| ❌ | “Rectifier Device Type” |
Live Data | | ❌ | “I Load”, “Solar Power” |
Cut Trough Progress
Download the “MIB Browser” - SNMP Monitoring Software.
Open the Power Center >> Connect to the Elara gateway via serial/OTA connection >> Click on “Read Configuration” >> Click on “Status” >> Click on “Status” tab. Now you can see all the information about the rectifier that connected to the Elara gateway.
3. The next step is to locate and copy 3 different parameters in order to be able to make the "Cut Trough":
Rectifier IP - Select the "Configuration" tab >> Double-click the "Group: Rectifier” >> Copy the Device IP of the rectifier and save it for later.
Network Gateway & Elara IP - Select the "Configuration" tab >> Double-click the “Group: Device” >> Double click the “Local Network” >> Copy the “Network Gateway” and the “Elara IP”
4. Click on “Direct-Comm” >> Choose “Ethernet (SNMP: LOCALHOST) >> Fill in the information you obtained in the previous step >> Leave the “Direct-Comm” window open.
"Gateway" = Network Gateway
"Destination IP" = Rectifier IP
“Elara IP" = Elara IP
5. Open the “MIB Browser” platform >> Type “localhost” in the address box >> Click on “Advanced” >> In the window that appears, type the correct “Read Community” and “Write Community” >> Click “Ok”
In order to obtain the "Read Community" and "Write Community" codes, please refer to the Galooli Knowledge Base or to the rectifier company.
You may leave the "Write Community" field blank if your intention is only to read the configuration and not to write it.
6. The "OID" for the relevant data parameters should be written in the appropriate location.
An "OID" represents a specific address of a parameter.
Obtaining the OID can be accomplished by contacting the rectifier company.
7. It is now up to you to decide whether you would like to receive or set the parameters using the OID:
In the event that you wish to obtain data via the OID, please select "Get" and then "Go".
In the event that you wish to set data via the OID, please select “Set” and then “Go”.
Get Parameters
You can view the rectifier parameters results in the “Result Table”. Each time you run a different OID, the parameters will be added separately to the table.
Set Parameters
Upon entering the correct OID for a parameter that can be set and clicking "Go", you will be presented with a new window that will allow you to modify the parameter value.
It is only possible to edit the relevant parameters mentioned at the beginning of the article.
