aurora

NAME

aurora - communicate with an Aurora Magnetek Photovoltaic (solar) Power Inverter

SYNOPSIS

aurora [Options] -a InverterAddress Device

REQUIRED PARAMETERS

-a, --address=num

Inverter address. (1-31)

Device

Serial Device. Example, /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyS0.

OPTIONS

-b, --verbose

Verbose mode

-C, --calc-value=num

Calculate $ value using num * KWh

-c, --columnize

Output data in columns --> for -d & -e options only, will disable all other options

-d, --get-dsp

Get DSP data

-e, --get-energy

Get Cumulated Energy readings

-f, --firmware-ver

Query for Firmware Version string

-g, --mfg-date

Query for Inverter Manufacturing Date

-h, --help

This text

-i, --get-count

Display Inverter Time Counters

-j, --get-joules

Display Energy cumulated in the last 10 seconds

-l, --delay=num

Cmd Delay in 1/10ths seconds. Default is 1 (0.1 sec)

-m, --get-conf

Query for Inverter System Configuration

-n, --serial-number

Query for Inverter Serial Number

-o, --output-file=<filename>

Append data to file (Created if nonexistant)

-p, --part-number

Query for Inverter Part Number

-R, --read-timeout=num

Timeout value when reading data from the Inverter (mS)

-r, --calc-grid-power

Calc Grid power using Grid Voltage * Grid Current, instead of reporting the Inverter's value. --> for -d option only, ignored when used with -c option. (Inverter typically reports a lower value. This affects Inverter conversion efficiency value.)

-S, --set-time

Set Inverter Date/Time to system time

-s, --get-state

Get Inverter State

-T, --get-loctime

Display computer Date/Time

-t, --get-invtime

Display Inverter Date/Time

-U, --read-pause=num

Pause 'num' milli-seconds after sending command to inverter before reading response from inverter (1-10000)

-u, --rpt-read-pause

Report when/that pausing before read

-V, --version

Aurora communications program version

-v, --inv-version

Query for Version string

-w, --lock-wait

Seconds to wait to lock serial port. (1-30)

-x, --xon-xoff

Enable XON/XOFF on the serial port.

-Y, --retries=num

Retry failed communications with inverter up to 'num' times (1-100)

-y, --rpt-retries

Report the number of retires done

DESCRIPTION

aurora is a program that communicates with Aurora Magnetek Photovoltaic (solar) Power Inverters written by Curt Blank. It can retrieve data and statistics from a variety of Aurora Inverters through either USB or Serial interfaces.

EXAMPLES

aurora -T -c -e -d -a 2 -w 15 /dev/ttyS0 aurora -Y 100 -T -a 2 -w 10 -e /dev/ttyUSB0
