How to Use The WIFI Communication Module (WCM)
This article goes over how to use and troubleshoot the WiFi communication module (WCM) of the Lion Energy Sanctuary system.
Please note: For systems with multiple inverters, only the WCM in the parent inverter will be used for communication. All communication wiring should go to the parent inverter. (See communication wiring FAQ for more details). For WCM location see the Inverter Overview Diagram
Communication Modes
The WCM communicates with the inverters on the RS-485 bus. The WCM uploads inverter data via WiFi or Ethernet. The WCM can communicate with a computer or mobile device via Bluetooth.
