Here is the full LabVIEW code to read a CMS2000 inverter solar generation, including power, voltage and temperature, and then logging it to PVOutput.
The data is read from the CMS2000 every 1 second and averaged over 5 minutes, as PVOutput only supports 5 minute intervals. The averaged value gives a better representation of the parameter compared to a single read every 5 minutes.
Logged is power generated, inverter temperature, and DC voltage. PV Bean Counter only supports AC voltage which won’t vary too much, DC voltage is a lot more interesting, DC current can be calculated from the power and voltage values.
Don’t forget to change the API key and system ID strings.
Use the linked images below when dragging into LabVIEW as a snipped, not the thumbs.
