2.4 Working Principle

Conceptual Diagram
The SUN2000 receives inputs from eight PV strings. Then the inputs are grouped into four
MPPT routes inside the SUN2000 to track the maximum power point of the PV strings. The
DC power is then converted into three-phase AC power through an inverter circuit. Surge
protection is supported on both the DC and AC sides. Figure 2-9 shows the conceptual
diagram for the SUN2000-33KTL-A/36KTL. Figure 2-10 shows the conceptual diagram for
the SUN2000-42KTL.

range (lower than 60 V DC) and that the two DC switches on the SUN2000 are OFF.
Otherwise, the high voltage may result in electric shocks.
 When the SUN2000 is grid-tied, it is not allowed to maintain DC input power cables, such
as connect or disconnect a string or a module in a string. Otherwise, electric shocks may
occur.

Ensure that the following conditions are met. Otherwise, the SUN2000 will be damaged, or
even a fire disaster will be caused.
 The open-circuit voltage of each PV string is always lower than or equal to 1100 V DC.
 The positive and negative terminals of a PV module connect to the positive and negative
DC input terminals of the SUN2000 respectively.
 If the DC input power cable is reversely connected, do not operate the DC switches and
positive and negative connectors immediately. Wait until the solar irradiance declines at
night and the PV string current reduces to below 0.5 A. Then, turn off the two DC switches,
remove the positive and negative connectors, and correct the polarity of the DC input
power cable.

 Ensure that the PV module output is well insulated to ground. If the SUN2000 directly
connects to the power grid with the neutral wire connected to the PE cable (for example, a
low-voltage power grid or a power grid with the neutral wire grounded), do not ground the
positive and negative terminals of PV strings. The device may be damaged if you do not
follow the instruction. This damage is not covered under any warranty or service
agreement.
 During the installation of PV strings and SUN2000, the positive or negative terminals of
PV strings may be grounded if power cables are not properly installed or routed. In this
case, an AC or DC short circuit may occur and damage the SUN2000. The caused
equipment damage is beyond the warranty scope.

Context
 DC terminal selection
Figure 5-15 shows the DC terminals at the bottom of the SUN2000. Table 5-3 describes
the requirements for DC terminal selection.

The SUN2000 provides two DC switches, namely, DC SWITCH 1 and DC SWITCH 2. DC SWITCH 1
controls the first to the fourth routes of DC input terminals, while DC SWITCH 2 controls the fifth to
the eighth routes of DC input terminals.

RS485 Communication
The SUN2000 can connect to the SmartLogger or to a PC through the SmartLogger to
implement RS485 communication. You can use the SUN2000 APP, embedded WebUI, or the
network management software (such as the NetEco) on the PC to query information about the
SUN2000, such as energy yield, alarms, and running status.
 Figure 5-24 shows the communication mode for a single SUN2000.

Figure 5-24 Communication mode for a single SUN2000

 Figure 5-25 shows the communication mode for multiple SUN2000s.

If multiple SUN2000s are used, connect all the SUN2000s in daisy chain mode over an
RS485 communications cable.

Issue 08 (2018-08-23) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 58

SUN2000-(33KTL-A, 36KTL, 42KTL)
User Manual 5 Connecting Cables

Figure 5-25 Communication mode for multiple SUN2000s

 The RS485 communication distance between the SUN2000 at the end of the daisy chain and the
SmartLogger cannot exceed 1000 meters.
 If multiple SUN2000s need to communicate with one another and are connected to a PC over the
SmartLogger1000, a maximum of three daisy chains can be configured.
 If multiple SUN2000s need to communicate with one another and are connected to a PC over the
SmartLogger2000, a maximum of six daisy chains can be configured.
 To ensure the system response speed, it is recommended that the number of devices on each daisy
chain be less than 30.

PLC Communication
The PLC communication board loads communication signals onto power cables for
transmission. For details about how to install the PLC, see the PLC CCO01A User Manual or
SmartLogger2000 User Manual.

The built-in PLC module in the SUN2000 does not need to be connected with cables.

FE Communication (Optional)
FE communication is mainly used in distributed rooftop scenarios with a small number of
inverters. The inverter can directly connect to the PC over the Ethernet to implement
monitoring networking.

 FE communication is optional for the SUN2000-36KTL.

 If the SUN2000-36KTL adopts FE communications mode, it supports only RS485 and FE
communications modes, and does not support PLC communications mode.
 If FE communication is used, a maximum of 10 SUN2000s can be connected. In addition, the
network management software (such as the NetEco) needs to be installed on the PC for monitoring
networking.

If FE communication is used, set Ethernet and Modbus TCP for the SUN2000 on the
SUN2000 APP. Perform the following steps:
1. Set IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway based on the network plan.
− If the SUN2000 and PC connect to the same router with the DHCP function, and
DHCP is set to Enable, the IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway for the
SUN2000 are automatically allocated.
− If DHCP is set to Disable, IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway for the
SUN2000 need to be set manually.

SUN2000-(33KTL-A, 36KTL, 42KTL)
User Manual 5 Connecting Cables

 DHCP is set to Disable by default.

 Ensure that the IP addresses for the SUN2000s and PC are different values in the same network
segment.
2. Set Modbus TCP to Client. Set NetEco IP address, NetEco port number, SSL
encryption, and Key password based on site requirements.

 For operations with the SUN2000 APP, see the SUN2000 APP User Manual.
 For operations with the NMS, see the iManager NetEco 1000S User Manual (iManager NetEco
1000S V100R002C20 and later).

Selecting a Communication Mode

The RS485 and PLC communication modes are mutually exclusive.
 If the PLC communication mode is selected, do not connect the RS485 communications
cable. In addition, you need to set PLC communication to Enable on the SUN2000
APP.

The PLC communication mode is only applicable to medium-voltage grid connection

scenarios and non-low-voltage public grid connection scenarios (industrial environment).
 If the RS485 communication mode is selected, do not connect the PLC CCO module to
the AC power cable. In addition, you are recommended to set PLC communication to
Disable on the SUN2000 APP.

PLC communication is set to Enable by default.

5.5.2 Connecting RS485 Communications Cables

Note a: The maximum active power is determined by PQ mode, which can be set on the
SUN2000 app, SmartLogger, or NetEco. If PQ mode 1 is selected, the maximum active
power equals the maximum apparent power. If PQ mode 2 is selected, the maximum active
power equals the rated active power.
Note b: The rated output voltage depends on Grid code, which can be set on the SUN2000
app, SmartLogger, or NMS.
Note c: Choose whether to connect the neutral wire to the SUN2000-33KTL-A and
SUN2000-36KTL based on the application scenario. When they are used in the scenarios
without the neutral wire, set Output mode to Three-phase, three-wire. When they are
used in the scenarios with the neutral wire, set Output mode to Three-phase, four-wire.
