[RE-wrenches] Number of Controllers

[Larry Crutcher, Starlight Solar Power Systems]

I'm with you on that, William, a communications protocol  for all RE products............................oh, sorry, I was dreaming.

Perhaps the new UCM bridge module will help. Here's a quote about it from this page http://www.blueskyenergyinc.com/products/details/ucm/

"A standard Modbus RTU interface is provided both as isolated RS-485 and TCP\IP Ethernet based Modbus/IP. Additional Ethernet connectivity includes a built in HTTP web site server allowing data view and parameter setup with a standard web browser either locally, or globally over the Internet without a subscription. The ability for periodic real time FTP data upload to a remote server is also provided."

Larry:

Thank  you for the update on this intriguing product.  It would be helpful if the charger network could talk to a Mate or an SCP, but I doubt that will ever happen.  

Here's an idea:  A standard CAT5 protocol for exchanging data/settings in RE equipment.  Utopia or Chaos?

With up to 8 controllers on the network, you can have multiple arrays and orintations. Their new Duo model will function as hydro or wind diversion control. AND, each controller has a fully programmable lighting control! Sounds like this is the controller to meet all your requests. We have sold hundreds and I highly recommend them.
