How to add a Sungrow COM100E / COM100A on the Platform
Currently, the EMS platform only allows adding a Sungrow COM100 via the generic FTP gateway. Thus, the steps to follow are as follows:
1. Register a new gateway.
2. Select generic FTP / SFTP gateway.
3. Select the Sungrow COM100 file format.
4. Save the concentrator with the desired name, and everything will be ready for your equipment to start sending data to the platform.

To be considered
- If you want to start using this parser, and you don't see it in the list of supported file formats, please contact our support team or the customer success person responsible for your account to activate it. Please note that there is a per-use fee for using this parser, so don't hesitate to ask us about it to start using it as soon as possible!
- Currently, the developed parser supports Sungrow COM100E and COM100A models; but not all parameters that both have the ability to measure are mapped to our platform. In case you install a gateway and do not receive the expected data in the account, write us to check it!
