Fox ESS Smart WiFi Datalogger Monitoring Module USB

FOX ESS SMART WIFI: Maximum wireless stability, instant connectivity and smart self-consumption management

The exhaustive control of energy generation is a fundamental pillar to make it a modern photovoltaic infrastructure to make profitable. The module Fox ESS Smart WiFi It is presented as the ideal solution to integrate wirelessly inverters Residential and industrial within the network of the household, allowing a constant flow of metrics to the manufacturer's servers without the need to deploy costly BUS network wired. This intelligent wireless communication device has been specifically designed to complement the brand monitoring infrastructure, ensuring that installers and owners maintain the operating control of the plant at all times.

24/7 monitoring and advanced synchronization in Fox ESS Cloud

The operating core of this datalogger is directly linked to the Remote ESS Cloud Remote Management Platform. Through an intuitive mobile application or through the desktop portal, end users and authorized technicians can evaluate in real time the production of solar plates, perform detailed analyzes through historical record graphs and receive immediate notifications before any fault code or System alert

This uninterrupted tracking 24/7 is essential to anticipate technical maintenance needs and to assess the efficiency of the inverters network o Hybrid accumulation systems equipped with lithium batteries. Hardware integrates a powerful UART internal data interface operating at 9600 BPS that collects the computer's information and transmits periodically, supporting flexible network configurations by dynamic DHCP assignment and by static IP.

Robust IP65 Construction and Simplified Installation Plug & Play

The simplicity of start-up is one of the greatest virtues of the Fox ESS SMART range. Thanks to its direct physical interface by USB port, the installation process is summarized in an "Plug and Play" action: just connect the device in the dedicated slot of the inverter For this to receive automatic direct current feeding (range from 7 to 12v cc) and start operating immediately, reducing labor times in the field.

At the mechanical level, the chassis has been manufactured with highly durable technical plastics that confer a Degree of protection IP65, guaranteeing its total seal against dust and high resistance against rain or direct water projections. This allows its placement in inverters Installed to the weather in facades, porches or solar gardens, maintaining a tolerance to environmental humidity of up to 95% without condensation. By ensuring constant monitoring, optimizes the overall performance of all mechanical components and the solar Installed on your roof.

Frequently Asked Questions section (FAQ)

1. What real advantages does the Fox ESS Smart WiFi offer compared to a network cable connection?

The main advantage is flexibility and savings in installation costs. By implementing this wireless datalogger, eliminate the need to make channels or pass extensive Ethernet cables from the inverter Until the housing router, maintaining a highly stable wireless signal with an antenna gain of 3 dB.

2. Is the FOX ESS SMART WIFI device compatible with type 5 GHz wireless networks?

No, according to your radio frequency technical specifications, this module works exclusively in the frequency range of 2,400 to 2,472 GHz. It is the golden standard in home automation and solar thanks to the provisions of coverage and a penetration of walls far superior to The 5 GHz frequencies.

3. What happens if the router of my home changes password or modified the name of the network?

The device has a very accessible user configuration interface from which you can reconfigure the network parameters in a simple manner. It allows both the automatic assignment by DHCP and the parameterization of a static IP to ensure that the data rise is resumed immediately.

4. If my inverter Solar is fixed on an exterior wall without a tumble, can I connect this USB skewer?

Yes, totally. Fox ESS Smart WiFi has a hermetically sealed housing under the IP65 protection grade certification. This guarantees that the internal component is completely protected from the entry of dust, wind and strong rains, tolerating humidity of up to 95%.

5. How often do the data of my photovoltaic production in the mobile application update?

The datalogger collects information from inverter In real time through its internal interface RS485. Subsequently, packaged the data and performs a periodic rise to the platform at minutes of minutes set by firmware to ensure that your records in the Fox ESS Cloud app remain updated.
