Log solar generated to PVOutput with LabVIEW
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…

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…

Monitor CMS2000 inverter via TCP/IP with USR-TCP232-E4 RS232/IP convertor
After months of waiting on hardware to arrive and playing around with different configurations, I have finally got my CMS2000 inverter to work through TCP/IP with POE. RS232 to USB converter The CMS2000 is a 2kW inverter with an RS232 connection for communications. If you simply want to view the data locally via a laptop,…
