MBUS (PLC) Communication
The MBUS (PLC) communication board loads communication signals onto power cables for
transmission.
The built-in MBUS (PLC) module in the SUN2000 does not need to be connected with cables.
Selecting a Communication Mode
The RS485 and MBUS (PLC) communication modes are mutually exclusive.
If the MBUS (PLC) communication mode is selected, do not connect the RS485
communications cable. In addition, you need to set
MBUS communication
to
Enable
on the SUN2000 APP.
The MBUS (PLC) communication mode is only applicable to medium-voltage grid
connection scenarios and non-low-voltage public grid connection scenarios (industrial
environment).
If the RS485 communication mode is selected, you are advised to set
MBUS
communication
to
Disable
.
MBUS communication
is set to
Enable
by default.
You can set a single SUN2000 over the SUN2000 app or set multiple SUN2000s in batches over the
SmartLogger.
5.6.2 Selecting a Mode for Connecting RS485 Communications
Cables
Description
An RS485 communications cable can be connected in two ways:
−
Terminal block connection
Recommended: outdoor communications cable with a conductor cross-sectional
area of 18 AWG and an outer diameter range of 14 mm to 18 mm (0.55 in. to 0.71
in.)
−
RJ45 network port connection
Recommended: a CAT 5E outdoor shielded network cable with an outer diameter of
less than 9 mm (0.35 in.) and internal resistance of less than or equal to 1.5 ohms/10
m (1.5 ohms/393.70 in.), as well as a shielded RJ45 connector
Select either connection way in practice. Connecting to a terminal block is recommended.
The RS485 communications cable can be connected in a common way or through a pipe.
Before installation, prepare materials based on the connection mode.
If you choose connection through a pipe, ensure that the RS485 communications cable and 3/4–inch
pipe are available.
