 =====Connectivity=====
-WattmonPRO has two ways of connecting to the Internet. The built-in LAN can be connected directly to a laptop or router, and is used for setup and local monitoring (but can also be used for remote monitoring if the site has an Internet connection). The USB Host port works with a selected number of USB Cellular dongles (GPRS and 3G), allowing both outbound and inbound data via the Internet. Although we provide instructions on configuring your local dongle, not all of them work. Need a compatible USB dongle for remote monitoring? Use one of our Huawei dongles, the [[hardware:accessories:E3531]] or [[hardware:accessories:E3372]].

 ====Serial (RS-232)====
-An [[how_tos:serial_port_programming|RS-232 serial port]] allows you to interface with Inverters or other devices that can provide data. Drivers for Delta, Schneider, Studer and Victron inverters are now provided along with the Wattmon, making it simple to remotely monitor your PV panels and energy information from the inverter itself.

 ====Modbus RTU (RS-485)====
-An industry compliant RS-485 Modbus RTU interface is built in and the Wattmon acts as a Modbus master to collect data from various devices such as inverters, power meters, current sensors, etc. Up to 8 Modbus RTU-compliant slave devices and 1 Modbus TCP device can be daisy-chained to the interface, and the Modbus can be configured for any baud rate up to 115200 with different parity settings as required.

+===4 Digital Inputs===
 Pins 16-19 are digital inputs. They are opto-isolated and can handle anywhere between 4 and 24V DC between the input pin and the DIGND pin. Pins 16-18 (DI1-DI3) can also be configured as pulse/frequency counters for measuring data from flow meters/anemometers, etc.

+===4 Digital Outputs===
 These are open collector type (using a ULN2003 chip) and can be directly connected to 12V relays (with external power supply) to control high power loads - they can handle up to 500mA per pin.

 ====Storage====
-A removable/replaceable 4 or 8 GB MicroSD Card contains the OS, configuration and data log files (enough space for many years of logged values, every minute). The SD Card uses a standard format (FAT32) that is read/write compatible with Windows and other computers and devices. The data files are stored in CSV format.

 WattmonPRO has 128 KB RAM (enough space for about 30 KB of added user variables and scripts).
