This article describes the FTP push setup of the Meteocontrol blue'Log X series (X-1000 to X-6000) and provides further information
Before you can link your data logger to our portal, you must first have created a site and/or data source in the Solytic portal.
The following explains how you can set up FTP transfer:
- Make sure you are on the same network as the blue'Log
- Open your web browser and enter the IP address in the address field:
- One blue'Log in the network: http://blue.x
- Multiple blue'logs in the network: http://blue.x.[last 8 digits of the hardware number]
- Enter your data logger credentials to access the user interface
- On the user interface, navigate to PV system using the top navigation bar
- Then navigate to Online Portal using the left menu and then click on Push Service
- Set the FTP push function on your blue'Log to "Active" and enter the FTP access data from the data source in the Solytic portal:
- FTP server name: gateway.solytic.com
- FTP port: "Default" or "21"
- Upload directory: Select “/” as the directory
- Username: Take from Solytic data source
- Password: Take from Solytic data source
Further information on data transmission
After data transmission has been successfully set up, the data is sent to our FTP server in XML format. Further information on this:
- All blue'Logs offer the function of communicating to the safer'Sun Professional or Virtual Control Room (VCOM) portals and to the Solytic portal.
- By default, the data is only sent once a day at 00:00
- If you want minute-by-minute monitoring, you may need an additional license
For the blue'Logs X-1000 and X-3000, an additional license must be purchased once in order to increase the data transmission interval.
The license is already included and activated for the blue'Log X-6000.
