Inverters
• Power dist:Iibution PCB: Dist:Iibutes the required logic level voltages for use
throughout the inve1ter.
• Cont:I·oller PCB: Cont:I·ols sine wave generation, logic fhnctions, and protection
activities. All analog and digital inputs and outputs are routed to the control
PCB.

Communications Interface
The communications interface PCB is located in the data monito1ing section in the
front upper light of the inve1ter. The p1imary pmpose of the communications
inte1face PCB is to provide a means to communicate with the inve1ter through either
Modbus RTU or Modbus TCP/IP. These connections can be used for third pa1ty
monito1ing or for web-based inve1ter monito1ing by using the AE mypvpower.com
(which uses a proplietaiy Ethernet protocol). The communications interface PCB
includes:
• RJ45 Ethernet port for network connectivity
• Remote disable te1minal blocks, which allow the inve1ter to be disabled through
external methods such as an e-stop, generator interlock, or fire alarm panel
• Bina1y Modbus device addressing switch
• Modbus slave po1t te1minal blocks for daisy-chain connection to an RS-485
network
• Serial po1 t is available for AE Solar Energy Technical Suppo1t use only
