Can I program my system settings from WattPlot?
Contrary to Intallact‘s information, OutBack Power Systems does provide a Mate display controller which includes the ability to read and write the inverter settings using a software product. We make this functionality available in the greenMonitor Industrial Edition software available from greenHouse Computers.
This feature is primarily used by industrial and commercial systems where complete control over the powerplant is required. Remote control features include the ability to raise and lower the "Sell" voltage, charger set points, current limits, and individual control over each inverter’s AUX output.
Unfortunately not. OutBack does not support the programming of the Mate from any external source. Nor can you download your Mate settings automatically to an external device. WattPlot PRO can however maintain a copy of your system settings in its own custom dialog box, setup to emulate the Mate’s menu structure with easy-to-use tabs. WattPlot knows the system defaults, increments, minimums, and maximums, and provides extensive help for each setting, surpassing OutBack’s own documentation in some cases. Mate settings can also be exported from this window to a text file, or automatically emailed.
