3.6.3  RS485 bus

The inverter communicates with other devices via an RS485 bus. The fol‐

lowing applies:
The following applies:

n

The inverter has two RS485 interfaces (RJ45 sockets) on the lower side

of the casing.

n

The beginning and end of the RS485 bus must be terminated; see

Ä

 Chapter 3.6.5 „RS485 termination“ on page 27

.

n

Standard RJ45 cables can be used as bus cables (Cat-5 patch cables,

not supplied). Use an alternative data connection cable for longer con‐

nections; see 

Ä

 Chapter 3.6.4 „Alternative RS485 data connection

cable“ on page 26

.

n

The inverters connected to the RS485 bus operate as 

slaves.
