For RS485 serial communication, the inverter operation information can be
transferred via RS485 port to a PC with monitoring software, or to data logging
device (such as MC Logger). The inverter operation information can also be
transferred via Wi-Fi terminal to a PC with monitoring software, or to SolarInfo
Bank via the router.
For Ethernet communication, the inverter operation information can be
transferred via NET port to a PC with monitoring software, or to Webserver, or to
SolarInfo Bank via the router.
Before communication connection, prepare communication cables and RJ45 plugs.
Cable requirements to ensure quality of communication:
Shielded network cable
DI connection cable
A converter such as RS485-232 converter or SolarInfo Logger, which
converts 485 signal to 232 signal, is needed between the inverter and PC.
