6. COMMUNICATION INTERFACE
The Inverter provides two computer interfaces, smart software (RS-232 and USB, optional).
The RS-232 also includes dry contact (DB-9, optional) for different monitoring application.
The models with USB interface are applying the same control port for both USB & RS-232 so
that the only interface can be used at the same time.
6.1 The definition and setup for RS-232 is shown as follows:
Baud Rate : 2400 dps
Data Length : 8 bits
Stop Bit : 1 bit
Parity : None
Pin #6 : RS-232 data Tx out.
Pin #7 : Common of Pin #6 and Pin #9
Pin #9 : RS-232 data Rx In
6.2 The definition and setup for DB9 (optional) is shown as follows:
Pin #2 : AC Power Failure
Pin #4 : Common GND of Pin #2 & Pin #5
Pin #5 : Inverter Battery Low
Pin #6 : Turn off Inverter
Pin #7 : GND of Pin6
The interface with computer is diagramed as above for your reference. Use Pin #4 as the
common of Pin #2 and Pin #5, Pin #2 and Pin #4 will become close loop from open when the
utility fails, Pin #5 and Pin #4 will become close loop from open when the battery level is low.
The Inverter will shut down itself when the high level from RS-232, sustained for 3 seconds,
which is applied between Pin #6 and Pin #7.
