Communication via RS485

8.4.1

Integrating inverters into a bus system via the RS485 interface

Connecting to a network via RS485
Connect the inverter to your fieldbus via the RS485 interface. Position and assignment of the
RS485 interface can be found in section Interfaces, connectors, switches, terminal blocks
and LEDs of the converter (Page 42). This connector has short-circuit proof, isolated pins.
Figure 8-7
You must switch-in the bus terminating resistor for the first and last participants. The position
of the bus terminating resistor can be found in section Interfaces, connectors, switches,
terminal blocks and LEDs of the converter (Page 42).
You can disconnect one or more slaves from the bus (by unplugging the bus connector)
without interrupting the communication for the other stations, but not the first or last.
NOTICE
When the bus is operating, the first and last bus station must be continuously connected to
the supply.
Note
Communication with the controller, even when the supply voltage on the Power Module is
switched off
You will have to supply the Control Unit with 24 VDC on terminals 31 and 32 if you require
communication to take place with the controller even when the line voltage is switched off.
In the case of short interruptions of the 24V voltage supply, the converter may report the fault
F without communications with the controller being interrupted.
