Now you can monitor and modify your Morningstar system remotely! Connect to an IP network or the internet from almost anywhere in the world. View many useful system metrics such as battery voltage, array voltage, load current, and error codes. The information appears live, in real time. As well, the device will give you access to change your battery charging settings, temperature settings, lighting settings, and low voltage disconnect setting.

The EMC-1 Ethernet Meterbus Converter converts a serial connection to an ethernet connection, enabling IP based network and internet connectivity to any Morningstar product that features an existing MeterBus port (RJ-11). The EMC-1 is powered by connecting it to the Morningstar product’s MeterBus port or the DC input for 12, 24, or 48V systems. The MeterBus port connection also enables transmission of serial data to the EMC-1. The EMC-1 converts this connection to a fully enabled Ethernet port to allow data transfer to the internet. This facilitates remote monitoring, configuration and control using any type of IP based network connection. This now allows for for Morningstar products to be established in remote power systems.
