Description
Morningstar’s PC Meterbus Adapter™ (MSC) converts a controller’s meter port (RJ-11 phone type connector) to a standard RS-232 serial connector for connection to a PC or other equipment. The MSC may be used with any Morningstar controller or inverter equipped with a meter connection that does not also already have a RS-232 port. Communications link enables monitoring and logging of data as well as customizing of set points. Compatible Morningstar products include:
- ProStar MPPT
- Sunsaver MPPT
- ProStar (Gen3)
- SunSaver DUO
- SureSine
By converting to RS-232, the MSC allows Morningstar’s controllers and inverters to communicate with a variety of third party serial enabled devices such as:
- A PC running Morningstar’s MS View software or any other compatible software.
- A serial enabled device such as an internet gateway.
- Another MODBUS enabled hardware device at the site that needs to access solar system information.
