12.5.1. Network Topology

The inverter has two Ethernet RJ45 connectors enabling the connection of several inverters in a

line topology as an alternative to the typical star topology. The two ports are similar and may

be used interchangeably. For RS485, only linear daisy chain connections can be used.

Note:

Ring topology is not allowed.

1 Linear Daisy Chain

2 Star Topology

3 Ring Topology (not allowed)

(4) (Ethernet Switch)

Note:

The two network types cannot be mixed. The inverters can only be connected in networks

which are either solely RS485 or solely Ethernet.

Note:

Ethernet connection is recommended for faster communication.

RS485 connection is required when a web logger or data logger is connected to the inverter.
