The communication board has a standard RJ45 terminal block for Ethernet connection,

a 6-pin terminal block for RS485 connection, and an 8-pin connector for power control

devices.

The SolarEdge ZigBee or Wi-Fi Plug-in and the GSM Plug-in can be connected to the

communication board for optional wireless connection.
