RS485 Network Set-up

When the inverters are monitored via the RS485 communication, a unique

RS485 address for each inverter can be set up through the LCD interface.

Up to 32 inverters can be connected in the RS485 communication network.

The daisy-chain topology is recommended for the RS485 network

connection to minimize noise and bus reflections, as shown in Figure 3-35.

Other communication topologies, such as the star networks, are not

recommended. All RS485 connections must be terminated in a serial

fashion and not to exceed 32 in total.
