),
mixed networks using Ethernet switches (Figure 5-2), or any combination to form a multi-cluster configuration
(Figure 5-3).
•
The maximum number of inverters in any single daisy chain is 50 inverters.
•
When using star or mixed network configurations, the maximum number of inverters from one end of a
daisy chain to the end of any other daisy chain within a given Cluster must not exceed 50 inverters.
•
The maximum number of inverters in any Cluster must not exceed 50.
•
Use shielded Cat6 Ethernet cable ONLY.
•
The maximum length between any two devices is 328 ft. (100m) for all inverter Ethernet connections.
•
Fiber optic cables can be used for ‘long-haul’ communication runs with the use of an appropriate
