APsystems is launching its APsmart brand of DC MLPE devices at Solar Power International 2019. These devices include the RSD (Rapid Shutdown Device) and Transmitter-PLC for enabling rapid shutdown compliance at a solar site. Certified to SunSpec and NEC 690.12 Rapid Shutdown requirements, the RSD and Transmitter-PLC offer built-in safety, reliable technology and are an ideal rapid shutdown compliance solution.

The APsmart RSD System is a SunSpec Alliance Certified (paired) device that maintains constant communication between the RSD and the Transmitter, constantly monitoring voltage and current. When proper voltage is not detected the Transmitter stops sending the keep-alive signal to the RSD-S-PLC device, immediately initiating the module-level rapid shutdown sequence.

APsmart solutions are powered by ASIC with its internal IP and integrated with TI chips at the system-level application.
