External battery control via digital inputs
1 | External energy management system (e.g. energy supply company) |

If external battery control via digital inputs is selected, the inverter receives the control signals for charging and discharging the connected battery via the digital inputs of the Smart Communication Board (SCB).
It is important that the digital inputs are configured accordingly in the web server.
The internal energy management remains active, but is overridden by the external specifications for charging and discharging power.
The following commands are possible:
