CAUTION
A difference in the ground potential between the master and slaves in an RS 485 network
can damage the converter Control Unit. You must make absolutely sure that the master
and slaves have the same ground potential.
SUB D connection on the CU 240S (pin assignment)
The CU240S Control Units are equipped with a 9-pole SUB D socket for connecting the
inverter via an RS 485 interface. A standard 9-pole SUB D connector with a 180° cable outlet
can be used for the USS connection via RS 485.
