4.6 Modbus Protocol Descriptions
4.6.1 Communication Connection and Data Frame
The inverter can communicate with a PC or PLC via RS485 or RS232 using the Modbus RTU or
Modbus ACSII protocol. The maximum frame length is 80 bytes.

**When several inverters are connected togerher by Modbus, please turn on the terminal resistor
switch on the end inverter.
**The distance of communication line with above 200m should have terminal resistors, which ought
to be placed at both ends, so as to eliminate reflection phenomenon.
