Hi Don,
You might want to check with your distributors to see if they have the old Power-One equivalent to the VSN700 data logger. I know that these are available because I just bought one for a new project. The PN is VS701 – N0 (called Aurora Logger). We’ve installed a few of these with good results (very similar to the Sunny Web Box). The switch from Power-One to ABB has resulted in a very confusing website with hard to find products. This is hard wired only, so you’d need to use either powerline network adapters or some kind of wireless media bridge. Contact me offlist and I can put you in touch with a distributor if you’d like.

There is no need for revenue grade, so inverter monitoring will be fine. There is RS485 on board. The manufacturer ABB's website shows several options: Their VSN300 is not shipping and seems to be vaporware; and they do not sell their VSN700 to customers, they want me to go through a distributor, but the ones I know about do not know about or carry this product. So I'm looking for a reasonably priced online monitoring system that will work with these 3-phase inverters. A third-party system will probably not be able to communicate directly with the inverters, and will require current transducers. This is OK; there is a 100 amp combiner panel with a 40 amp breaker for each inverter. WiFi would save the need to run a long wire onsite, as there is a WiFi LAN onsite. Any pointers to such a data logger would be appreciated. Thanks Don Barch Energy Solar
