======WattmonPRO======

{{ 20180906_wattmonpro_20180907_screenshot_from_datasheet_.jpg?300|WattmonPro}}The WattmonPRO is a more flexible device than the original [[Wattmon]]. It was the 2nd generation to be released in our range of embedded data logging and control devices. Compared to the original [[Wattmon]], this version has several <tooltip title="Input/Output">I/O</tooltip> lines on-board and 128KB RAM, making it easier to develop intelligent machine automation applications in addition to performing data logging.

Compared to any of the [[hardware:Wattmons]] including the [[WattmonMEGA]] (the latest and most capable Wattmon), the PRO uses the same OS, and is compatible with the same set of [[hardware:Modules]] and [[hardware:Accessories]]. The PRO firmware has the same set of functions but without the code needed for the hardware improvements of the [[WattmonMEGA|MEGA]].

The PRO can be used for **//any//** application in monitoring, control and data logging for the <tooltip title="Internet of Things">IoT</tooltip>. But particularly noted applications include:
  * **Inverter Monitoring** - Inspect generation and efficiency of gridtie and hybrid inverters
  * **AC Power Monitoring** - Supervise load and performance of substations and mini-grids
  * **Off-Grid Battery Monitoring** - Observe battery voltage, current, SoC, charging trends and health over time
  * **[[:power_control|Zero Export & DG Protection]]** - Reduce active output power of multiple inverters to regulate energy generation

====Quick Start Guide====

The Quick Start Guide is a regularly updated manual that sheds light on some of the basic and/or essential configuration for the WattmonPRO running the latest WattmonOS version.

====User Manuals====

These User Manuals are helpful for the WattmonPRO:((These User Manuals are somewhat "dated," having been written during times when the newer Wattmons had not yet been released, and they sometimes feature or show specific [[hardware:Modules]] or [[:Hardware]] that are obsolete (no longer available). However, the OS is the same for all of the [[hardware:Wattmons]]. Therefore the hardware differences are the only thing to keep in mind when using these manuals, especially the [[Wattmon|Original Wattmon]] and [[WattmonMINI]] which do not have the additional <tooltip title="Input/Output">I/O</tooltip> ports that are provided on the [[WattmonPRO|WattmonPRO]] and [[WattmonMEGA|WattmonMEGA]].))

====The Wattmons that Came After the PRO:====

  * The [[WattmonMINI]] was released next as a reduced version of the WattmonPRO with a single Modbus RTU port.

  * The [[WattmonMEGA]] has 512KB RAM, 100mbps Ethernet, and operates at 200MHz making it over twice as fast as the PRO.
