ABB driver (Power One String) - Item number 421.005
The update of the inverter alarm texts in line with the latest documentation from Power One has resulted in optimized triggering parameters for the individual alarms.
Furthermore, the DC energy and the MPP trackers can be monitored at the level of the individual DC inputs.

Delta SI driver - Item number 421.050
New inverter types supported for the Australian market: RPI M6, RPI M8, RPI M10, RPI M12, RPI M15A, RPI M20A, RPI M30, RPI H3, RPI H5, RPI H3A, RPI H4A, RPI H5A.

Time synchronization
The synchronization of the system time with a time server has been made more reliable in order to prevent the time server from setting an incorrect system time.

Application update
The update process via the application manager page has been optimized. Once the update file has been transmitted, the WEB’log shifts to update mode and cannot be reached from the outside. When the update is completed, the new application is loaded automatically and users can begin working with the new software immediately.

Faster user interface
The loading times of the user interface are now much faster, thus making usage much more convenient.

Detailed online values
The "Online Values" information provides you with details about the current system status of the Power Control System. Furthermore, the overview of alarms has been enhanced with additional information.

Configuration of the layout ratio
The Power Control System can be configured via the WEB’log for the ratio of module power to inverter power as relevant to the active power control.

Expansion of gradient limitation
To comply with requirements in Romania, the gradient limitation of the active power can now be used for increasing and decreasing requirements.

Night-time reactive power compensation
More and more inverters support night-time reactive power without active power being fed-in. Using the new feature reactive-power Q fix during times of low active power, this feature can be used to minimize expensive reactive power compensation at night.
