Devices and Cables

In this context, you can manage the arrangement of cables and devices in your photovoltaic system. Using the command Positioning Devices and Cables, the program makes a standard arrangement of the system components on the basis of how these are related to each other in the system scheme.

The arrangement made by the program can then be modified by the user by moving the devices and changing the path of the cables. To do this, the user can edit both in Map view well as in 3D view.

Displacements, parallel to the xy plane, of devices must be made within the Map view. And displacements in z direction will be made in 3D view by specifying the height from the ground.

The devices managed in this context are:

• Inverters

• Panels

• Batteries

• User

• Grid

When it opens for the first time this context, the program shows an arrangement of devices in the PV system. The command Positioning Devices and Cables performs a re-arrangement of the devices.

This must be made by the user when the system scheme changes.

Selecting any device you can change its Height from the ground, dragging it all attached cables follow new position parallel on the ground.

When selecting a cable it is possible to move nodes and, for each node, you can set the Height. Also you can add or remove nodes to path of cable. If cable starts from a string, the connection node is marked blue and can be dragged on a different module of the string. In 3D view you can also set the Height of any selected node.
