Daisy-chaining EIA/RS-485 transmission lines
Daisy-chaining is reliable and recommended when several inverters are connected to
Modbus over an EIA/RS485 transmission line.
When wiring a daisy-chain network to the inverter terminals, use suitable crimped
wire-end sleeves (with a maximum diameter of 2 mm) to join the wires together for a
reliable connection.
