Rs485 Communication - Ginlong Solis Installation And Operation Manual

4. Comm. & Monitoring
There are 5 communication terminals on Solis 125kW inverter. COM1 is a
4-pin connector reserved for WiFi/Cellular datalogger. COM2 and COM3 are RS485
connection between inverters and both RJ45 and Terminal block are provided for use .
COM4 and COM5 are the Ethernet connection via RJ45.
Monitoring system for multiple inverters
Multiple inverters can be monitored through RS-485 and Ethernet daisy chain configuration.

4.1 RS485 communication

RS-485 communication uses MODBUS RTU Standard and supports two connection
methods: RJ45 connectors and Terminal board.
1. RS-485 communication through RJ45 connector (See figure 4.2).
CAT 5E outdoor rated (cable outer diameter<9mm, internal resistance≤1.5 Ω /10m) and
shielded RJ45 connectors are recommended.

4. Comm. & Monitoring
Use the network wire stripper to strip the insulation layer off the communication cable.
Using the standard wire sequence referenced in TIA/EIA 568B, separate the wires in the cable.
Use a network cable tool to trim the wire. Flatten the wire in the order shown in figure 4.3.

2. RS-485 communication through terminal board.
The cross sectional area of the cable wire for terminal board connection
should be 0.008-0.06inch. The outer diameter of the cable may be 0.2-0.4inch.
