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. The first and last inverters in the
chain must be terminated as described on page 77.
RS485 wiring specifications:
Cable type: Min. 3-wire shielded twisted pair (a shielded Ethernet cable (Cat5/5E
STP) may be used)
Wire cross-section area: 0.2- 1 mm²/ 24-18 AWG (a CAT5 cable may be used)
Maximum nodes: 32
Maximum distance between first and last devices: 1 km /3300 ft.
