  • Firmware for CMS2000 (Phoenixtec) solar invertor upgrade

    With CMS in administration it is extremely difficult to find the latest firmware for CMS2000, I managed to find a copy from a Whirlpool forum member. You can download it below; CMS2000 Re Flash.rar ModelParameter.zip Below is an excerpt from the included procedure; CMS 2000 Parameter Change. Apply DC supply only to the inverter. The…

  • 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,…
