System Overview - ABB VSN730 Product Manual

System overview

The VSN730 System Monitor is a cost-effective solution for remote data acquisition and reporting
of PV system data. The System Monitor enables smaller commercial installations with multiple
inverters to benefit from advanced energy reports, energy analysis, and troubleshooting. The
System Monitor collects and analyzes energy generation data from all connected inverters as well
as weather station data (optional). System performance and energy information are logged into a
database on the Aurora Vision® Plant Management Platform, where it can be retrieved and used
for analysis via any standard web-browser on an Internet connected device.
The Installer logs on to the Aurora Vision website to register the System Monitor and ensures that
the logger is correctly passing information to the servers. The Installer provides a URL(s) to the
end user for access to Aurora Vision Plant Viewer for viewing system performance. The Installer
can also monitor all of their sites through a web-browser using Aurora Vision Plant Portfolio
Manager.
Aurora Vision is a multi-plant management portal that lets you inspect and analyze all of your
power plants. The System Monitor in conjunction with the Aurora Vision solution brings the
following benefits:
