2�- KOSTAL PIKO INVERTER
The
CDP
and the inverter communicate via an RS-485 bus. This RS-485 bus can connect up
to 32 inverters, although the number of inverters in the vast majority of domestic installations
ranges from 1 to 3.
2.1.- COMMUNICATION CABLE
To communicate with a
KOSTAL PIKO
inverter using a
CDP
, the inverter must be equipped
with a communications card with an RS-485 interface (
).
