Creating an RS232 (UART)
Connection
This communication option is provided in all inverters by default. It enables
you to connect the inverter via modems supplied by SolarEdge. You may
refer to the SolarEdge website for a list of the types of modems offered,
which includes GSM and WiFi modems. Each modem is provided with its
own user manual which should be reviewed.
NOTE
:
When connecting via RS232, make sure to use a shielded connector so as not to
interfere with other devices in the vicinity.
