Communication  cable  must  be  shielded  twisted  pair  cable. 
Communication  unstable  or  communication  failure  may  follow  if 
otherwise. 

Communication cable should be far away from the high voltage cable. 
Place the communication cables and power  cables in parallel or strap 
them together is strictly forbidden. Communication interface or device 
damage  if  otherwise.  If  not  prevented,  lead  the  communication  cable 
through galvanized tube for shielding. 

Communication solution 

The communication method of PVS is shown below: 

PVS 1

A1 B1                        A2 B2  

RS485A

RS485B 

PC

PVS 2

A1 B1                          A2 B2  

PVS n

A1 B1                       A2   B2  

(optional)

120Ω resistor

Logger

 

 

 

Connect A1 and B1 of first PVS to A1 and B1 of data collector; 

 

Connect A2 and B2 of first PVS to A1 and B1 of second PVS; 

 

Connect A2 and B2 of second PVS to A1 and B1 of third PVS; 

 

And so forth: connect A2 and B2 of previous PVS to A1 and B1 of next PVS
