Storing and Sending Smart Module Data With A Tigo Cloud Connect Unit

Storing Data

Tigo’s Cloud Connect units (CC or CCA) are capable of storing data for a period of time that is relative to the number of Smart Modules connected to a CC unit.

Here are a few examples:

If storage space is used up and connection to the Tigo web monitoring server has not been made, the CC unit will overwrite older data in favor of recent production data.
 
Sending data

Connection to the monitoring servers is available by:

• Connecting the CC unit to LAN (local area network).
• Connecting the CC unit to a Wi-Fi network.
• Connecting the CC unit to a cellular modem via Ethernet cable

See instructions on how to setup Internet connection here.

CC units are programmed to connect to Tigo’s web servers every 10-20 minute (cycle). When a connection is made, the data will transfer automatically to the servers, and the CC unit will verify that the transfer was done correctly. Your uploaded production data is available through the Tigo monitoring platform.
 
Standard data transmission stands on a maximum of 10MB/Smart Module/month. 10 Smart Modules will have a maximum of 100MB/Smart Module/month, etc.  (MB: megabytes)

Reduced data transmission rates for cellular modem exist, contact training@tigoenergy.com for further information.
