The SMA Hybrid Controller is a programmable logic controller made by SMA and offered as an optional part of the SMA Power Plant Manager. It provides advanced open-loop and closed-loop plant control functions, and the datasheet lists the PV system size it can handle as unlimited. It talks to genset controllers over CANopen, supports DNP3 (IEEE 1815), and acts as a Modbus TCP master over Ethernet. Compatible inverters include the Sunny Central CP-XT and Sunny Central Storage, and the Janitza UMG 604 is listed as a compatible external power meter. An optional router allows remote access and VPN. XL variants with high-precision current and voltage measurement exist in 1 A and 5 A versions.
