SunSpec Modbus for 1547 Certification

SunSpec Modbus, a default communication and interoperability standard specified in IEEE 1547-2018, enables Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and smart inverters to be controlled and monitored by operators, thus enhancing the value of DER and improving grid health. The SunSpec Modbus for IEEE 1547 interface is fully interoperable with IEEE 2030.5 and IEEE 1815, the other communication interfaces identified in IEEE 1547-2018.

Certifying your product to the SunSpec Modbus for IEEE 1547 standard is the simplest and most important step you can take to reduce the time needed for IEEE 1547.1-2020 clause 6 interoperability testing and for achieving UL 1741 SB compliance.

    • SunSpec Modbus Fact Sheet
    • SunSpec Technology Overview
    • SunSpec Device Information Model Specification
    • SunSpec DER Information Model Specification

SUNSPEC SVP DASHBOARD and SUNSPEC MODBUS FOR 1547 PLUS PACK

The SunSpec System Validation Platform (SVP) Dashboard is a Microsoft Windows application that enables visibility and control of SunSpec Modbus-enabled devices. The web browser-based interface leverages standardized SunSpec device information models and a web-service application program interface (API) for test harness integration, certification, and support activities.

Designed to support software developers and software test labs in preparing products for SunSpec Certification, SunSpec SVP Dashboard may be upgraded to include automated test suites for SunSpec Modbus-enabled devices. The following features are included in the SunSpec Modbus for 1547 Plus Pack:

  • A profile for SunSpec Modbus 1547 Certification, including a complete SunSpec Modbus communication verification test that results in a SunSpec Certification mark.
  • A test procedure for SunSpec Modbus for 1547 Certification (that references the IEEE 1547.1 interoperability test procedure) and a CA Rule 21 compliance test procedure.
  • A test procedure for SunSpec Modbus Certification with the addition of a 1547.1 Interoperability test script.
