NOTE
The system automatically establishes communication with the
monitoring platform as it is configured to LANby default.
NOTE
If your network has a firewall, you may need to configure it to enable
the connection to the following address:
Destination Address: prod.solaredge.com
Modbus TCP Port: 22222 (for incoming and outgoing data)
Creating an RS485 Bus Connection
The RS485 option enables creating a bus of connected inverters, consisting of up to 31
slave inverters and 1 master inverter. Using this option, inverters are connected to each
other in a bus (chain) via their RS485 connectors, thus allowing to connect only the
master inverter to the monitoring platform. The first and last inverters in the chain must
be terminated as described in RS485 Bus Configuration on page 80
RS485 wiring specifications:
Cable type: Min. 3-wire shielded twisted pair (a shielded Ethernet cable (Cat5/5E
STP) may be used)
Wire cross-section : 0.2- 1 mm²/ 24-18 AWG
Maximum distance between first and last devices: 1 km /3300 ft.
The following sections describe how to physically connect the RS485 bus and how to
configure the bus.
