Connect to CMS2000 solar inverter with LabVIEW and read power

After a few weeks of ‘chasing the sun’, finally got something I am happy with, LabVIEW connects to the CMS2000 via serial interface and reads the parameters.

Programmed as a state-machine, basic error checking and fail safes.

Note, I am using a RS232 to TCP/IP adapter, I am guessing a lot of the peculiarities are due to that.

Don’t use the thumb snippet, but the linked image.

    Hi Travis! I’m happy to see your work with labview and solar inverters! I would like to use your program with my own inverter. I downloaded your file but when I try to run it. It asks me for a cms2000-enum.ctl file. where can I find this file?
