Preface
Manual Description
The Wi-Fi module, also known as the serial Wi-Fi module, belongs to the Transmission layer of the Internet of Things. Its function is to convert the serial port or TTL level into an embedded module that complies with Wi-Fi wireless network communication standards. It is equipped with IEEE802.11B/G/N protocol stack and TCP/IP protocol stack. Traditional hardware devices embedded with Wi-Fi modules can directly use Wi-Fi to connect to the Internet, which is an important part of the implementation of wireless smart home, M2M, and other Internet of Things applications, and is an important component of intelligent hardware.
This platform is the third-generation photovoltaic monitoring operation and maintenance platform, through which you can manage the power station more conveniently. This operation guide will guide you to log in your account, create a power station, add equipment, and authorize users, so that you can get started as soon as possible.
This document describes in detail the basic structure, parameters, installation, and operation of the device.
