Procedure voor lokale HMI/DSP update
(dit artikel wordt momenteel vertaald en kan deels nog in het Engels geschreven zijn)

Om ervoor te zorgen dat uw Solis-omvormer optimaal presteert, zijn firmware-updates soms essentieel. Deze updates verbeteren de functionaliteit, lossen bugs op en verbeteren de algehele efficiëntie van uw zonnesysteem. Hoewel Solis firmware-updates op afstand kan uitvoeren via ons SolisCloud-platform, zijn er situaties waarin een lokale firmware-update noodzakelijk is. Dit kan gebeuren als de externe update mislukt of als uw zonne-installatie niet is aangesloten op SolisCloud.

In dit artikel zullen we u begeleiden bij de procedure voor het uitvoeren van een lokale firmware-update op uw Solis-omvormer. We zullen het stapsgewijze proces behandelen en troubleshootingsadvies geven om ervoor te zorgen dat de update succesvol verloopt. Of u nu een ervaren zonne-professional bent of een nieuwe eigenaar van een zonnesysteem, deze gids zal u voorzien van de kennis om uw Solis-omvormer optimaal te laten werken, zelfs wanneer de cloud geen optie is.

Inhoudsopgave:

Benodigdheden:

1: Update Stick:

Neem contact op met Solis Support als u nog geen update-stick heeft. (Let op: sticks worden alleen verzonden naar installateurs, niet naar eindklanten / systeemeigenaren..)

2: Firmware bestanden:

Neem hiervoor contact op met Solis-support. Wij zullen de firmwarebestanden voor u verstrekken. Hiervoor willen wij wel weten welke firmwareversies momenteel op uw apparaat staan.

3: USB Stick:

Zorg ervoor dat de stick leeg is, formatteer deze naar FAT32, indien mogelijk zonder metalen behuizing.

4: Communicatiekabel / Address setting

Controleer of er geen communicatiekabels zijn aangesloten. Controleer ook of het adres op de omvormer is ingesteld op 1.

LET OP: Als u zowel een HMI- als een DSP-update op de omvormer moet uitvoeren, raden we aan om eerst de DSP-update te doen en daarna de HMI-update. Tenzij de omvormer offline is gegaan na een mislukte HMI-update. In dat geval begint u met de HMI en is de DSP mogelijk niet eens nodig.

Procedure:

1: Take the files supplied to you and put them on a USB stick

> One file is named 28062API.bin (this file will never change)

> One file is named 28062APP.bin (this is the specific file for the inverter)

If the file is not named 20862APP.bin please RENAME IT.

Ensure the file is not zipped. If it is extract it.

Ensure the file is not in a folder in your USB Drive.

Ensure there are no other files in the USB Drive

For Example:

2: Place the USB into the Firmware Update Tool and place into the inverter’s 4 pin Green Port.

Note: Example image is the 1 Phase RHI series. The COM port is on most inverters identical. (Except for our S6 series, which have an USB connector)

3: The Firmware Update Tool Should Light RED and GREEN as seen in the picture.

IMPORTANT: Verify the Green light flashes quickly and then change to a slow flash. Slow flashing means the inverter and the update tool have made a connection.

It could take some time until the update is completed, so please be patient.

8: Once the Firmware is complete, you will see the only the RED light being solid.

IMPORTANT: After some time the GREEN light should go on again. Please be patient since this can take some time. If the green light does not go on after some time means the inverter did not take the update. In that case please try again uploading the update.

9: Verify on DSP Update that the version changed. (Go to Advanced Settings – password 0010 – DSP Update)

IN some cases, it is important to restart the inverter. If the updated Firmware Version is not displayed on the inverter, please restart the system, and check again.

HMI Update

(In case of frozen screen/display)

Information:

An HMI recovery should be performed when an HMI firmware update has failed and the inverters HMI screen has gone blank with black blocks. This can happen when incorrect firmware is used or the wrong procedure was tried in a. Check that the firmware version and procedure used was correct.

Video:

Please check out our video explaining the procedure on how to recover your screen/display in case of corrupt HMI

Procedure:

1: Check the correct firmware version was used for the inverter model.

2: Ensure all other COM's cables and devices have been unplugged and disconnected.

3: Do a quick format on a USB thumb drive.

4: Rename the HMI firmware file to HMI.bin.

5: Copy the HMI.bin file to the USB drive.

6: Switch off the inverter by turning off DC and AC power to the inverter.

7: Plug the USB drive into the USB port of the Solis Upgrade stick.

8: Plug the upgrade stick into the green 4 pin COM plug of the inverter.

9: Turn on the inverter using the DC PV Power.

10: Put the inverter into HMI recovery mode by holding down the Escape + Up + Enter button simultaneously once the red LED is on. Press the buttons a few seconds until the green LED has flashed at least 4 times.

RED and GREEN LED on the Upgrade stick should be lit.

EPM3-5G-PLUS

File Name Chart:

EPM Plus - HMI_WIFI.bin

Procedure:

The process of locally updating the Export Power Manager (EPM) differs slightly from updating inverters. To access the specific procedure for updating the EPM, please follow the link: EPM – Local Update SOP

Troubleshooting Tips:

Ensure your USB doesn’t have a metal casing. This has been known to cause problems with the update.
Ensure your USB is a newer style USB and not using an old file system
Ensure your files are correct (90% of the time it’s a file issue). If you think that you may have an incorrect file, contact the Solis Service to receive another Firmware file.
Ensure you do not have external communication hooked up.
- For Example, if you have an inverter with a RS485 connection and you are updating via the green Port, there could be a communication crash and the update will become corrupted.
Ensure you have the INVERTER ADDRESS SET TO 1 (for HMI Update)
Ensure your green port is working (verify with a voltage check of 1.7 VDC on the port. If the port is showing strange voltages the update will never work.

RED = +5 volts DC = Pin 1
BLACK = -5 volts DC = Pin 2
YELLOW = +RS 485 = Pin 3
BLUE = -RS 485 = Pin 4
