the cables are terminated to the same 5-pin connector and 3-pin connector.
Figure 3-33 shows a single inverter communication connection in (1) and a
network configuration in (2).

3.4.3 RS485 Network Set-up
When the inverters are monitored via the RS485 communication, a unique
RS485 address for each inverter can be set up through the LCD interface.
Up to 32 inverters can be connected in the RS485 communication network.
The daisy-chain topology is recommended for the RS485 network
connection to minimize noise and bus reflections, as shown in Figure 3-34.
Other communication topologies, such as the star networks, are not
recommended. All RS485 connections must be terminated in a serial
fashion and not to exceed 32 in total.
