SOFAR datalogger, up to 60 RS485 devices, Wi-Fi, 2 x Ethernet, CH1000

CH1000 - Control Hub datalogger with Wi-Fi, 2 x Ethernet and RS485

CH1000 is a SOFAR datalogger (Control Hub) that collects data from up to 60 devices over RS485 and sends it to SofarCloud over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, with optional 4G communication. It includes energy management and feed-in limitation functions.

Main features:

• Connected devices: up to 60, over RS485
• Internet connection: 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, 2 x Ethernet, optional 4G (LTE CAT.4)
• Ports: 3 x RS485, DRM, 4 analog inputs, 4 digital inputs and 2 digital outputs
• Power supply: 12 V / 2 A adapter
• Ingress protection: IP20
• Mounting: wall, desktop or DIN rail
• Dimensions and weight: 217 x 125 x 34 mm, 0.5 kg

CH1000 combines cloud or app monitoring of inverters, batteries, energy meters, EV chargers and heat pumps, a built-in energy management system (self-consumption, time-of-use mode, scheduled charging and discharging, VPP access) and emergency power-off in milliseconds. For feed-in limitation a meter, for example the CHINT DTSU666, is connected over RS485.

The SOFAR datasheet lists the inverters SOFAR 3.3-12KTLX-G3, 15-24KTLX-G3, 15-25KTLX-G3P, 25-50KTLX-G3, 60-80KTLX-G3, 100-125KTLX-G4, 250-255KTL-HV and 250-350KTLX0 as compatible. The device operates from -30 to 65 °C, up to 3000 m altitude, and is certified to IEC 61000-6-1/2/3/4, CE-RED and RoHS.
