AUX 2 for input

[binkino]

I apologize, I lost the trace ... had not really much time, much time is gone again - somewhere it was answered, but can't find it

If I want to use AUX2 for input (closing the 2 terminals of Aux2 with relay) what setting must been done?


Many thanks!

You won't find it in the Local App, We, unfortunately, have not kept that up with current production firmware.

On the MNGP you will find Logic input 2 and Logic input 1

Logic input 2 forces resting when the terminals are less than 2 volts (Shorted) and allow charging when the terminals are above 6v
Logic input 1 forces resting when the terminals are above 6 volts and resumes charging when they drop to 2v or less

My memory is a little foggy, I recall one of these states needs an external pull up or pull down resistor and the other state has it buit in. Jim from tech support had this documented and I will work to find that and post it

So logic input 2 forces resting when voltage is 2 v or less and does NOT have a pull up resistor internally, So if using a relay to close the Aux terminals for Logic input 2 you will need to provide a pull up resistor to bring the voltage on Aux2 + above 6v when the relay is open. If you need any help with that please reach out to our support dept at support@midnitesolar.com

Thanks

ouh have I been so wrong now ...  that's why I can't find it ... mh... ok
(I would set a bet, but ok )

On the Classic I want to use the AUX2 for input, I have no MNGP, this is a "lite" Classic

That will be an issue as I dont see the engineers adding any features to the local app, I will ask the tech support dept what your options are

There is a bit of Aux 2 info here:

Are there some news?

Yes, the LocalApp ...
Why is this treated so neglected ..... ;(

BUT there can be other ways to send settings to the Classic

Thanks to Wade, meanwhile I can change settings in my webbrowser, hidden behind my "LCARS" designed showing my PV datas.
That should be easy to add an option, for sending a setting to the Classic.
(but updating firmware again ... only if I really must haha)

thanks but doen't help me here (or I don't understand)



Temporarly I added a "logic function" in the website.
Just simple.
If power use is below  70 watts, the inverter is 100% on grid.
That's not the perfect way. For the moment now, it works for me.
With this new value in memory, I hope I can go further in my ideas.
