8 Configuration
8.3 Setting the Active Power Limitation in case of PV
System Control Failure
You will need to set the active power limitation in case of PV system control failure if the active
power limitation of the inverter is controlled by a communication product. By setting the active
power limitation in case of PV system control failure, you ensure that the inverter will still feed the
maximum permissible PV power into the utility grid, even if communication between inverter and
communication product has failed. The default setting of the inverter is 100%.
The basic procedure for changing operating parameters is explained in another section (see
Section 8.2 "Changing Operating Parameters", page 39).
Procedure:
1. Ensure that the firmware version of the inverter is at least 2.82.00.R . If necessary, carry out a
firmware update.
2. Select the parameter Fallback act power lmt P in % of WMax for absent act power lmt
and set the required percentage.
3. Select the parameter Operating mode for absent plant control and set to Use fallback
setting.

Deactivating the Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI)

The basic procedure for changing operating parameters is explained in another section (see
Section 8.2 "Changing Operating Parameters", page 39).
Procedure:
• Select the parameter AFCI switched on or AfciIsOn and set to No.
8.5

Setting SMA OptiTrac Global Peak

For partially shaded PV modules, activate SMA OptiTrac Global Peak and set the interval at which
the inverter is to optimize the MPP of the PV system.
The basic procedure for changing operating parameters is explained in another section (see
Section 8.2 "Changing Operating Parameters", page 39).
Procedure:
1. Select the parameter OptiTrac Global Peak switched on or MPPShdw.IsOn and set to
On.
2. Select the parameter Cycle time of the OptiTrac Global Peak algorithm or
MPPShdw.CycTms and set the required time interval. The ideal time interval is usually six
minutes. This value should only be increased if the shading situation changes extremely slowly.
☑ The inverter optimizes the MPP of the PV system at the predetermined time interval.
