Hi,
123s currently use https://sourceforge.net/projects/modpoll/ that use a serial-to-ethernet converter. I not sure you can get data directly from serial port.

But how do I connect the ethernet to the raspberry tot read out data? Because I user the ethernet as internet connection?

You need a serial to ethernet converter, like a "moxa".. Sorry but i don't now much about modpoll maybe get in touch with mstuetz

Thanks you for the response.
Is there anyone else with some experience?
I connected a power one inverter succesfully but the Effekta is different as I can see so far.

as i see in this document
http://pdf.effekta.com.de/Solarwechselr ... -4-0_D.pdf (PAGE 78-79)
inverter have rs232 port
you may use usb-rs232 converter like

OR
buy rs485 convrter OR ethernet card for web access to invetrter in official effekta store

ps sorry for my terrible english ))

the most optimal solution (however, requires additional equipment)

Code: Select all

1
                   -->  eth port--> ethernet cable --> internet
RASPB PI -->       usb port -- > USB-rs232 converter --> Rs232 inverter port

2 

RASPB PI --> eth port -->  ethernet cable --> router --> internet
                                                                  -->  ethernet cable --> web board in inverter (SLZBABEKWEBPX00)
