Kaco proLOG X DSL

Monitoring and data logging for PV systems

The KACO proLOG monitoring system allows you to supervise your photovoltaic installation from your PC. The system is used to log the current, voltages, temperatures, performance and yield data of each individual inverter as well as the data of external sensors.

KACO proLOG automatically returns a message by e-mail in the event of a deviation from the permissible operating status. The alarm criteria can be set individually according to the specific requirements of your PV installation. Stored installation data is sent daily to an e-mail address specified by the user.

You can connect to KACO proLOG at any time from your PC so that you can monitor your PV installation and check the actual performance of your KACO inverters and additional sensors.

Optionally, the recorded system data can be stored online via the KACO blueplanet web server and made available in a password-protected form. KACO blueplanet web is accessed via the Internet.
