Morningstar EMC-1 Ethernet MeterBus Converter

Morningstar EMC-1 Ethernet MeterBus Converter.

The Ethernet MeterBus Converter (model: EMC-1) enables IP based network and internet connectivity to any Morningstar product that features an existing MeterBus port (RJ-11) including: PWM controllers: TriStar and SunSaver Duo MPPT controllers: TriStar MPPT, ProStar MPPT, and SunSaver MPPT Inverters: SureSine

The EMC-1 is powered by connecting it to the Morningstar product’s MeterBus port and the DC input for 12, 24, or 48V systems. The MeterBus port connection enables transmission of serial data to the EMC-1. The EMC-1 converts this connection to a fully enabled Ethernet port to allow data transfer to the internet. This facilitates remote monitoring, configuration, and control using any type of IP based network connection. Thus, many new powerful integration options for Morningstar products can be established in remote power systems.

Morningstar’s employee-owned culture works hard to maintain the lowest hardware failure rate in the industry, because our own reputations literally ship with every product.

That’s why system designers of the most mission-critical solar energy installations around the world insist on Morningstar components, and why you should too on your next project. From mineral mines in South America to telecom repeater stations in Canada, from gas wells in the Middle East to mountain peaks in Nepal, Morningstar technology and legendary quality make the difference between success and failure – and make renewable energy a practical, cost-effective, and long-term solution.
