Trackers

Point names are the ones records use; [*] stands for a repeating group's index. See Supported SunSpec models for every group.

Model 601: Tracker Controller DRAFT 2

Name in records: tracker_controller.

Monitors and controls multiple trackers

Point	Type	Units	Label	Description
`Nam`	string		Controller	Descriptive name for this control unit
`Typ`	enum16		Type	Type of tracker
`DtLoc`	string	YYYYMMDD	Date	Local date in YYYYMMDD format
`TmLoc`	string	hhmmss	Time	24 hour local time stamp to second
`Day`	uint16		Day	Number of the day in the year (1-366)
`GlblElCtl`	int32	Degrees	Manual Elevation	Global manual override target position of elevation in degrees from horizontal. Unimplemented for single axis azimuth tracker type
`GlblAzCtl`	int32	Degrees	Manual Azimuth	Global manual override target position of azimuth in degrees from true north towards east. Unimplemented for single axis azimuth tracker type
`GlblCtl`	enum16		Global Mode	Global Control register operates on all trackers. Normal operation is automatic. Operator can override the position by setting the ElCtl, AzCtl and enabling Manual operation. Entering calibration mode will revert to automatic operation after calibration is complete.
`GlblAlm`	bitfield16		Global Alarm	Global tracker alarm conditions
`N`	uint16		Trackers	Number of trackers being controlled. Size of repeating block.
`tracker[*].Id`	string		Tracker	Descriptive name for this tracker unit
`tracker[*].ElTrgt`	int32	Degrees	Target Elevation	Auto target elevation in degrees from horizontal. Unimplemented for single axis azimuth tracker type
`tracker[*].AzTrgt`	int32	Degrees	Target Azimuth	Auto target azimuth in degrees from true north towards east. Unimplemented for single axis horizontal tracker type
`tracker[*].ElPos`	int32	Degrees	Elevation	Actual elevation position in degrees from horizontal. Unimplemented for single axis azimuth tracker type
`tracker[*].AzPos`	int32	Degrees	Azimuth	Actual azimuth position in degrees from true north towards east. Unimplemented for single axis horizontal tracker type
`tracker[*].ElCtl`	int32	Degrees	Manual Elevation	Manual override target position of elevation in degrees from horizontal. Unimplemented for single axis azimuth tracker type
`tracker[*].AzCtl`	int32	Degrees	Manual Azimuth	Manual override target position of azimuth in degrees from true north towards east. Unimplemented for single axis azimuth tracker type
`tracker[*].Ctl`	enum16		Mode	Control register. Normal operation is automatic. Operator can override the position by setting the ElCtl, AzCtl and enabling Manual operation. Entering calibration mode will revert to automatic operation after calibration is complete.
`tracker[*].Alm`	bitfield16		Alarm	Tracker alarm conditions
