   1.0 TMAC Tracker Controller Operations  1.1 Overview  The Tracker Monitoring and Control (“TMAC”) Advanced Tracker Controller controls the extension of the drive unit, which changes the rotation of the torque tubes and the position of the modules. By optimizing the angle of incidence between the sun and the modules, the system captures as much as 35% more sunlight than non-tracking solar electric systems.    The TMAC controller has full remote control capability that allows for stowing in adverse weather condition, equipment monitoring, and system optimization. Here is an inside view of the TMAC controller:  TMAC Tracker Controller
    1.2 Safety Procedures Important! All personnel must adhere to the following safety procedures when working on the TMAC controller. These operating instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. 1.2.1 Radio Frequency Safety •  The design of the TMAC controller complies with the updated standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) signals adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in August 1996. The hybrid standard consists of the existing standards of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), and its guidelines are published by the National Council of Radiation Protection (NCRP).   •  Currently, the TMAC controller product is in the process of complying with the requirements of the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines and for FCC certification.   1.2.2 Electric Static Discharge Warning! Static buildup and electrical discharge can damage the TMAC controller.   The avoid static buildup or discharge into the equipment: •  Before touching or connecting a laptop to the TMAC controller, SunPower recommends to discharge the laptop and yourself by simultaneously holding your laptop and grounding yourself to a metal service that is connected to the earth ground. •  Use a grounding strap when working on the TMAC control board. •  Use a grounding mat when working on the TMAC controller.   1.2.3 Shock Hazards Warning! Lethal voltage is present in the TMAC control box. Use appropriate Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) when working on the equipment. •  The TMAC controller is designed to operate at 380 VAC–480 VAC 3-Phase power. Other voltages are not compatible. •  The TMAC controller is designed with finger guards to protect the user from electrical shock. However, SunPower requires that all personnel working on the equipment wear rubber insulating gloves.   •  Ensure you avoid shocking the components on the controller circuit board.
    1.3 Pre-Commissioning Steps To ensure proper and efficient commissioning of each TMAC controller installed in a site,  perform the pre-commissioning steps in this section.    1.3.1 Installing the Mitty© Application  To access  the TMAC controller locally, the laptop you connect must have the Multi-Threaded TTY (“Mitty©”) application installed. The Mitty application—an RS-232 serial terminal program developed by Microsoft® and modified by Netburner®—is used as the main command prompt controller page.  To download a free copy of the Mitty application:  1.  Navigate to the NetBurner website  www.netburner.com      2.  On the NetBurner home page, hover your mouse over the Support tab. 3. Click Public Downloads in the Support tab drop-down menu (Fig. 1).  Fig. 1 4.  On the Public Downloads page, locate the NetBurner RS-232 Terminal Program in the NetBurner Utilities section and click the Download application link (Fig. 2).
    Fig. 2 5. Click Run in the File Download window to automatically install the program. 6.  The Mitty application icon should appear on your desktop. To start the Mitty application, refer to Section 1.4.1.
    1.3.2 Identifying Coordinator TMAC Units Refer to the project plans to identify which TMAC unit is assigned to function as the “coordinator”—that is, the TMAC node designated to manage the flow of communications for its associated network. The coordinator TMAC unit is hard-wired with Ethernet cable to a site network access point, typically located at the closest inverter station. Verify that the coordinator TMAC unit has the specially labeled MaxStream© radio chip (Fig. 3). If an incorrect radio chip is installed, remove it and replace with the special coordinator chip.  Fig. 3
    1.3.3 Numbering TMAC Nodes In A Network Each TMAC unit in a network must be identified by a node number that is a digit from 0 to 9. By default, the coordinator TMAC unit is always assigned node number 0. Assign a node number to each noncoordinator TMAC unit by numbering each of the controller box locations NWÆSE. Refer to the following sample diagram for illustration.   TMAC Node Numbering sample diagram    1.3.4 Setting Inclinometer Offset After you install the controller and before verifying the east and west limits the system inclinometer offset must be set for a flat PV array. After completing the offset adjustment the east and west limits can be verified.
    1.4  Setting Parameters and Verifying Functionality You must enter all of the parameters and perform all the verifications for each TMAC controller on the site. This data is stored in non-volatile memory within the TMAC memory. 1.4.1 Setting System Parameters To set the system parameters for each TMAC controller: 1.  Power down the controller.  2.  Refer to the project plans for the Sub Network Address Pan ID. 3. Configure the Sub Network Address PANID Switch (Fig. 4):  Fig. 4  •  On the coordinator TMAC unit, set the binary switches to 00000000 (that is, all switches are down).  •  For noncoordinator TMAC units, refer to the following table for the binary switch position.
    Decimal         (Node Number)  Binary Switch Position 1 00000001 2 00000010 3 00000011 4 00000100 5 00000101 6 00000110 7 00000111 8 00001000 9 00001001 10 00001010  5.

   Stow Position (North/South)  (Not used at this time)   North/South Torque Tube Slope  The slope of the fully installed torque tubes. The value is positive when the south end of the array is lower than the north. • Enter t1p5 (5° sloping to the South) • Enter t1p-5 (5°sloping to the North) East/West Site Slope  The E–W slope of the site on which the system is installed. The value is positive when the drive strut slopes downward toward the east. • Enter t1r5 (5° sloping to the East) • Enter t1r-5 (−5° sloping to the West) North/South Misalignment  The number of degrees by which the torque tube alignment is off from true N–S. If the value is positive, the tube alignment is clockwise from true N–S when assessed from overhead. • Enter t1y5 (5° to the East) • Enter t1y-5 (5° to the West) Inclinometer Calibration  The difference between the controller inclinometer reading and the digital level measurement for the tilt angle. This offset is expressed as a numerical value (after the space).   Enter m1o 5  Important! The coordinator TMAC units are equipped with a GPS device that will automatically set the longitude, latitude, and time for all controllers on the subnetwork.
