RS485 Bus Configuration
To connect to the monitoring platform:
1. Designate a single inverter as the connection point between the RS485 bus and the
monitoring platform. This inverter will serve as the leader inverter.
2. Connect the leader to the monitoring platform via the LAN option (refer to
Creating
an Ethernet (LAN) Connection
on page 53) or any of the other options.
To configure the RS485 bus:
All inverters are configured by default as followers. To configure the leader:
1. Verify the ON/OFF/P switch is OFF.
2. Verify that AC is on.
3. Use SetApp to access the Commissioning menu screen as described in
Communication
on page 42.
4.
From the Commissioning menu tap Site Communication.
5.
Select the following to configure the connection:
RS485-1 > Modbus (Multi-Device)
RS485-1 > SolarEdge > SolarEdge Leader
RS485-1 > Follower Detect
The system starts automatic detection of the follower inverters connected to the
leader inverter. The inverter should report the correct number of followers. If it does
not, verify the connections and terminations.
6. To check the follower IDs and last communication time, select RS485-1 > Follower
List.
7. Verify the connection of the leader to the monitoring platform, as described in the
next section.
Verifying the Connection
After connecting and configuring a communication option, perform the following
steps to check that the connection to the monitoring server has been successfully
established.
1.
Go to Commissioning >Status.
2. In the Summary section, under Server Comm., make sure S_OK is displayed
together with the selected communication option.
