Introduction
SJ300 inverters have a built-in RS485 serial communications interface. This serial communica-
tions function provides a way of controlling from 1 to 32 inverters on a common serial network.
In a typical application, a host computer or controller is the master and each of the inverter(s) is
a slave, as shown in the figure below.
