Connect inverters to the Solar-Log™
The wiring is done using a
•
self-made cable connection with RS485 data cable and terminal block connector.
Caution
Risk of damage to the unit!
The Solar-Log™ also has an RJ45 socket, which must never be connected to the RJ45 socket on the
inverter.
► Only connect inverters via the RS485/422 Solar-Log™ interface(s).
Procedure
1. If you are fabricating the cable yourself, connect the wires as shown in the following diagram.
Solar-Log™ terminal strip connector RS485 inverter socket
Terminal PIN
► 1 A/Data + ► Pin 1 (A) T/R+
► 3 GND ► Pin 5 GND
► 4 B/Data - ► Pin 2 (B) T/R-
2. Insert the RJ45 plug into the RJ45 socket on the inverter.
3. If no further inverter connected, terminate the inverter:
Set the dip switch to “on.”
4. Insert the terminal block connector into the Solar-Log™ RS485 socket.
