7 Expansions
As with all inverters in the Sunny Boy family, the Windy Boy can also be expanded
with a range of communication interfaces. This provides the operator with the possi-
bility of requesting detailed operational data and error messages, for subsequent
analysis on a PC using (e.g.) the free software available from SMA.
The data can currently be transferred in five different ways:
• using Powerline
• using a separate RS485 cable
• using a separate RS232 cable
• using a wireless link (Sunny Beam)
• using a USB-Service-Interface (USBPBS)
The wind turbine can be monitored by the Windy Boy in a number of different ways.
SMA offers a range of products for this purpose, allowing you to install a tailor-made
monitoring system for your system. If you require detailed information about the Win-
dy Boy products, please request the Sunny Family catalogue or visit www.SMA.de.
In the following sections the currently available communications options are schemati-
cally described.
7.1 Sunny Data
Sunny Data is a PC program for direct monitoring of
your system. The connection of the Sunny Boys or the
Sunny Mini Centrals with the PC is described in the fol-
lowing sections.
