Data logger and web based analysis software for Solarmax, SMA, Kaco, Fronius and Kostal inverters
Deutsche Seite.
The latest Version 1.1.197 (07.03.2014) is
here available.
Some SolarView facts:
- Support up to 19 inverters (an example with three inverters can be found here.)
- Inverters can be in a RS485 "chain" and only one is connected to the Ethernet or more/all of them can be connected to the Ethernet
- Alerting via email
- Daily report via email
- Banner-Creation, for instance to add it to other web pages
- Changing labels, for instance to translate it into other languages
- Detailed diagramms for day, months, years and total.
- Comparison of different days
- Comparison of all relevant data for multiple inverters
- Photovoltaik-Calender - All daily diagramms in one view
- Export all relevant data (for instance Excel)
- Data import of daily earnings.
- High quality diagrams in compact png format
- Sunrise and sunset calculation for own location
- Automatic data export option towards a big european pv - database: Sonnenertrag
- Open database: data can be reviewed/modified for instance with MS Access or MS Excel
- Runs on Windows 2000, Windows XP Pro and Windows 2003 Server and Windows 7
- Data access via Internet
- Supporting SunWatcher (App for Android Smartphones).
- Low hardware requirements

The solution is build up with two components: a Data logger
service and a web application to visualize the data. The whole application
is running on a single fanless Alix.1C board. The Alix.1C is not available
anymore but the successor Alix.1D is similar. You can get it for instance
from NRG - Systems
or as a complete bundle at
shop.varia-store.com).
The board consumes only 4-5 Watt ~ 10 Euro per year. Windows XP Professional
is installed on a 4GB Sandisk Extreme III CF card. Total hardware costs is
about 152 Euros, XP Pro can be bought for about 30-40 Euros
already.
Alternativly it is of course possible to use an (old) existing Notebook
or an home server. Some users are already doing it.

Nip-activity - Catia -
The NIP-Activity in CATIA encompasses several key features that distinguish it as a powerful tool for design and manufacturing:
This is where become invaluable. By using macros (written in CATScript , VBA , or Visual Basic Script ), you can control the Activity of features programmatically, allowing you to create complex, dynamic configurations in seconds.
💡 NIP-Activities are most powerful when combined with CATIA Knowledgeware , allowing toolpaths to update automatically if the 3D model changes. To help you further, let me know: Do you need help troubleshooting a specific error? Are you trying to write a script for a new activity? NIP-Activity - Catia

For CATIA V5, the primary executable for non-interactive mode is CATIA_NIR.exe (often found in ...\Dassault Systemes\BXX\win_b64\code\bin ). This lightweight version of CATIA does not load any 3D visualization components. The NIP-Activity in CATIA encompasses several key features
Working with NIP-Activities across collaborative global databases can sometimes lead to data synchronization issues. Follow these best practices to ensure data integrity:
To understand "NIP-Activity", we must first understand its two components: "Activity" and "Non-Interactive Process". To help you further, let me know: Do
Linear analysis assumes materials behave elastically (returning to shape after load removal). NIP-Activity accounts for non-linear realities—bending sheet metal, rubber gasket compression, or plastic deformation—ensuring the design won't fail catastrophically.
