Network on but Connected offCheck the inverter IP, Mode = Connect, matching TCP port and enabled SMA Modbus TCP server. Check model 23 / Unit Id 3 or model 1 / Unit Id 126. Do not target Sunny Home Manager.
Connected on but no KNX valuesCheck the KNX connection, physical address, application download and GA assignments. Wait for the configured refresh interval. Check that the required battery or meter parameter is enabled.
Battery power or energy missingUse model 23, Unit Id 3 and Battery 1 = Used with a supported battery. Daily battery charge/discharge and all Battery 2 objects are not used.
Grid power zero or unavailableUse model 23 with Powermeter = Used. Check that an SMA Energy Meter or Sunny Home Manager supplies metering data to the inverter.
Power direction seems reversedGO 42: charging positive, discharging negative. GO 55: import positive, export negative. Check the receiver’s sign interpretation.

Factory Default Reset

To restore the factory defaults, toggle KNX programming mode four times in succession within 30 seconds using the KNX programming button on the front of the gateway. On the fourth toggle, the Network status LED flashes three times before the module resets. All parameters, including network settings, return to their default configuration. The gateway is then accessible at its fixed IP address, 192.168.1.51. The ETS application remains loaded and does not need to be downloaded again.

KNX status and programming mode

The gateway administration page also displays the KNX bus status and allows you to switch KNX programming mode on or off.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I check if Network is on but Connected is off?

Check the inverter communication setup, server address, TCP port, Unit ID and ETS inverter model. A physical Ethernet link alone does not establish inverter communication.

What should I check if Connected is on but KNX values are missing?

Check the KNX connection, physical address, application download and group addresses. Allow the configured polling interval and confirm that the requested measurement is supported.

How do I perform a Factory Default Reset?

Toggle KNX programming mode four times within 30 seconds using the front-panel KNX programming button. On the fourth toggle, the Network status LED flashes three times before the gateway resets.

What happens to the settings and ETS application after a reset?

All parameters, including network settings, return to their defaults. The gateway is accessible at 192.168.1.51. The ETS application remains loaded and does not need to be downloaded again.

Can I check KNX bus status and change programming mode from the administration page?

Yes. The gateway administration page displays the KNX bus status and lets you switch KNX programming mode on or off.
