skyCONNi-Sun Universal Weather Sensor- Brochure

Our universal system for the measurement of ambient conditions. skyCONNi-Sun is capable of integrating a number of different weather sensors into the plant communication network. The basic system offers integrated ambient and module temperature sensors as well as two interfaces for the connection of irradiation sensors, be it DATASHEETskyCONNi-SunUniversal Weather Unit°F°Cskytron® energy GmbH / Ernst-Augustin-Str. 12 / D-12489 Berlinphone: +49 (0)30 688 31 59-0 / fax: +49 (0)30 688 31 59-99info@skytron-energy.com / www.skytron-energy.com© skytron® energy 2014 / Subject to technical change. / 140210PRODUCT OVERVIEW> New member of the skyCONNi family which replaces our previous individual weather measuring devices.> The sensor kit is capable of measuring a wide range of weather data relevant for the operation and revenue of your PV power plant:• irradiation• ambient temperature• module temperature• atmospheric pressure• air humidity• wind speed• wind direction• amount, duration and intensity of rain and hailskyCONNi-Sun pyranometers or reference cells.A compact weather station providing information about wind, precipita-tion and humidity conditions can also be connected. The skyCONNi-Sun cabinet is of robust design and suitable for outdoor installation.FEATURES> Add-on feature:• pyranometer air conditioning with ventilation unit for enhanced accuracy and reliability of the pyranometer> Suitable for indoor and outdoor application• wall mounting• module-frame mounting, or• pole mounting Plastic cabinetskytron® energy GmbH / Ernst-Augustin-Str. 12 / D-12489 Berlinphone: +49 (0)30 688 31 59-0 / fax: +49 (0)30 688 31 59-99info@skytron-energy.com / www.skytron-energy.com© skytron® energy 2014 / Subject to technical change. / 140210TECHNICAL DATABasic HardwareProcessor 16 Bit industry microcontroller, 24 MHz, 20 kB RAM, 512 kB Flash, 128 kB EEPROMHex switch to set CAN addressReset button to set CAN address and reset deviceCAN protection passive overvoltage protection and electrical isolation from external interfacesIndustrial power supply unit 230 V AC–24 V DC (PV02.01 only)Electrical Data skyCONNi-Sun PV01.01Power supply16-32 V DC nominal24 V DC via CAN-Bus (standard) orexternally (option)Power consumption max. 800 mA at 24 V DCInterfaces24 V DC supply, electrically isolatedCAN-Bus, electrically isolated2 temperature measurement channels, precision: ±1 k2 voltage measurement channels for reference cells (0-150 mV) or pyranometers (0-25 mV)RS485 (HD) with overvoltage protection for Vaisala weather transmitter WXT520external 24 V DC supply (option)Electrical Data skyCONNi-Sun PV02.01Power supply16-32 V DC nominal, 24 V DC/0.1 A via CAN-Bus230 V ACPower consumptionmax. 170 mA at 24 V DC (measurement boards)max. 400 mA at 230 V DC (ventilation unit)Interfaces24 V DC supply, electrically isolatedCAN-Bus, electrically isolated2 temperature measurement channels, precision: ±1 k2 voltage measurement channels for reference cells (0-150 mV) or pyranometers (0-25 mV)2 impulse interfaces and 2 digital outputs for Kipp & Zonen ventilation unit CVF 3230 V ACElectrical Data skyCONNi-Sun PV03.01Power supply 24 V DCPower consumption max. 170 mA at 24 V DC (measurement boards)Interfaces24 V DC supply, electrically isolatedEthernet with overvoltage protection2 temperature measurement channels, precision: ±1 k2 voltage measurement channels for reference cells (0-150 mV) or pyranometers (0-25 mV)RS485 (HD) with overvoltage protection for Vaisala weather transmitter WXT520external 24 V DC supply (option)Data Transfer CAN BusProtocol CANopen according to CiA standard DS-301Data rate20 kBit/s default50 kBit/s, 125 kBit/s, 250 kBit/s, 500 kBit/s, 800 kBit/s, 1 MBit/s possibleCable recommended Li2YCYv (TP) 8x2x0.5Data Transfer EthernetProtocol EthernetData rate 10/100 MBitsCable recommended Cat.5eConformityStandards EN 60950-1, EN 61000-6 , UL 60950-1, CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1 / cETLus listedMechanical DataDegree of protectionIP 66/67 when mounted with mounting frames, IP 66/67 when mounted at a pole or module frame, IP 65 when mounted directly onto a wall or a rackNEMA class: 4, 4XCoastal installations Severity level 1 according to DIN EN 60068-2-52:1996Dimensions H x W x D in mm / in 300 x 300 x 170 / 11.8 x 11.8 x 6.6.7Weight in kg / lb approx. 4 / 9Material of cabinet polycarbonate with polyurethane sealingAmbient ConditionsOperation temperature -25 °C to +60 °C / -13 °F to 140 °F (PV02.01: -10 °C to +60 °C / 14 °F to 140 °F)Storage temperature -30 °C to +70 °C / -22 °F to 158 °FRelative air humidity up to 95 %, non-condensingskyCONNi-SunUniversal Weather Unit°F°C
