  • Page 4: Notes On This Operating Manual

    1 Notes on this operating manual This manual is a key aid when it comes to ensuring proper operation of the device. It contains important information and safety notes to help you use the devices correctly, economically and in the intended manner.

  • Page 5: Overview Of Interfaces

    3 Overview of interfaces overview of interfaces Analog inputs (DI1–DI4) Ethernet Reset button RS485 Digital inputs (DI1–DI4) RS232/422 Power supply (10) Digital output (DO1) (110 V… 230 V AC) RJ45 phone socket (PSTN) (11) Switch between RS232 / RS422 Can also be operated as RS485 Power supply for additional Modbus devices (24 V DC)

  • Page 6: Cabling

    4 Cabling 4.1 RS485 and RS232/422 The two RS485 and RS232/422 interfaces are used to query information recorded on various bus devices such as inverters, power quality analyzers, etc. The RS232/422 interface can also be used as an RS485 interface. In order to do this the interface has to be operated in RS422 mode (for this, please refer to the manual of your IBC-SolControl data logger).
  • Page 7 Daisy chain If you want to connect more than one device to the bus, you must daisy-chain the connection. This means that different devices can only be queried jointly if they use the same communication protocol and the same serial communication parameters (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits). The first and last device on the bus must be terminated with a resistor.
  • Page 8 Star wiring Another possible way of operating multiple devices on the RS485 bus is called star wiring. In this wiring variant, a HUB 6 Port RS485 S is used to seperate the bus into a serveral bus strings. To connect the HUB 6 Port RS485 S to the IBC SolControl, please use a Connect Universal RS cable.
