3.5 Cooling/Air flow direction
The unit is cooled by an internal fan. The airflow is from the front to rear side. The fan is monitored and
speed controlled dependent on module temperature. To provide sufficient air flow, a minimum space
(see item “A” in figure 7) of 50 mm is required between the unit and the rear cabinet wall as well as an
unobstructed supply of air to the front of the module.

3.6 Communication interfaces
3.6.1 CAN-Bus
The STS207 is equipped with a serial data interface in accordance with the Controller Area Network
(CAN) specification. The CAN-Bus connection is integrated in the rear side connector and an additional
one is located at the front panel.
The communication of the STS207 with the connected inverters and a possibly implemented UPC3 DC
controller unit takes place via CAN-Bus.
The following information is available via CAN:
