RN200

Each RN200 manages up to maximum 16 inverters (and maximum 16 RN200 are managed per system); communicates with them through the Modbus protocol, using without limitation all its communication interfaces (RS232, RS485, ETHERNET).

The inverters can also be of different types. From each inverter, it acquires the rated and current powers, as well as the diagnostic alarm codes. It is able to start/stop the inverters, as well as to control their active/reactive powers.

• Automatic start/stop of the inverters, according to the presence of voltage on the common bars
• Automatic management of a circuit breaker (RNCB), connecting the inverters to the common bars
• Limitation of the active power of the inverters, to ensure the operation of the generators at a configurable minimum power (to avoid wear related to prolonged work at low power)
• Setting of a power reserve (SPINNING RESERVE) for the generators, so that they can compensate for sudden drops in the production of renewable sources (clouds) without causing blackouts on the loads
• Two ways of managing the reactive power of the inverters:
  • Fixed power factor on the generators (and all the rest is supplied/absorbed by the inverters)
  • Sharing of reactive power with generators, based on nominal powers
• Possibility of working OFF-GRID (island mode) and ON-GRID (in parallel to the grid)
• Percentage sharing of active/reactive powers among inverters
• Percentage sharing of active/reactive powers among the RN200

It also allows manual control of both the inverters and the RNCB circuit breaker.

The setting of the parameters can be managed directly from the front panel of the controller, or from the free BoardPrg3 programming software.

A complete and configurable historical recording system is available, which makes “on event” and periodic recordings (maximum 523 recordings for each archive with the default configuration). The historical archives can be viewed on the display of the controller or via the HisView PC software.

The device includes a fully configurable PLC, in addition to the AND/OR logic that can be combined with timers: in this way it is able to satisfy specific customer or application requests.
The SicesPlcEditor software allows you to create and test the PLC program.

RN200 controller is equipped with the following communication ports

• 18 configurable opto-insulated digital inputs
• 18 configurable digital outputs
• 7 configurable analogue inputs (6 x 0…10Vdc, 1x 0…32 Vdc)
• 2 configurable insulated analogue outputs.
