Intended Use

The SMA Com Gateway is a media and protocol converter that integrates PV systems and
components connected with each other via RS485 into the SMA Speedwire network.
In connection with a SMA data logger, the SMA Com Gateway must be operated with Speedwire
(e.g. SMA Cluster Controller). The system data of all detected RS485 devices is forwarded from
SMA Com Gateway via Speedwire to the SMA data logger. At the same time, the SMA Com
Gateway supports communication with up to 50 RS485 devices.
The USB interface of the SMA Com Gateway may only be used for firmware updates.
The product is designed for indoor use only.
