Chapter 6: Setting Up Communication
Theinvertersendsthefollowinginformationtothemonitoringplatform:
l PoweroptimizerinformationreceivedviatheDCpowerlines(thePVoutputcircuit)
l Inverterinformation
l Informationofanyotherconnecteddevices

Thischapterdescribessettingupcommunicationbetween:
l theinverterandthemonitoringplatformthroughtheInternet(wired/wireless),orthroughacellular
connection
l multipleinvertersforamaster/slaveconfiguration
Communicationsetupisnotrequiredforpowerharvesting,howeveritisneededforusingthe
monitoringplatform.
CAUTION!
When connecting the communication cables, make sure that the ON/OFF switch on the Safety Switch
is turned OFF, and the AC is turned OFF.
When configuring the communication parameters, make sure that the ON/OFF switch on the Safety
Switch is OFF, and the AC is turned ON.
ATTENTION!
Lors de la connexion des câbles de communication, assurez-vous que l'interrupteur MARCHE/ARRÊT
à la base de l'onduleur soit en position ARRÊT, et le CA est en position ARRÊT. Lors de la
configuration des paramètres de communication, assurez-vous que l'interrupteur MARCHE/ARRÊT
soit en position ARRÊT, et le CA est en position MARCHE.
Communication Options
Thefollowingtypesofcommunicationcanbeusedtotransferthemonitoredinformationfromthe
invertertothemonitoringplatform.
OnlycommunicationproductsofferedbySolarEdgearesupported.
Ethernet
EthernetisusedforaLANconnection.ForconnectioninstructionsrefertoCreatinganEthernet(LAN)
Connectiononpage47.
RS485
RS485isusedfortheconnectionofmultipleSolarEdgedevicesonthesamebusinamaster-slave
configuration.RS485canalsobeusedasaninterfacetoexternaldevices,suchasmetersandthirdparty
dataloggers.
