Communications Interface Pcb; Operator Interface Controls; Figure 2-4. Data Monitoring Card Cage Assembly - Advanced Energy AE 600 User Manual

Advanced Energy
The data monitoring card cage houses the following:
• Communications PCB: Provides serial, internet, and Modbus communications.
• Power distribution PCB: Distributes the required logic level voltages for use
throughout the inverter.
• User interface PCB: Provides accessible DIP switches for Modbus addressing
and termination.
The data monitoring card cage assembly in the following figure is designed to enable
fast and easy service and also acts as an EMI shield to ensure signal integrity on the
PCBs.

COMMUNICATIONS INTERFACE PCB

The communications interface PCB is the backplane for the data monitoring card
cage assembly. This PCB contains the following:
• RJ45 Ethernet port that is used to connect the inverter to the internet
• Modbus/RTU connection
• Serial port is available for AE Solar Energy Technical Support use only
• Remote disable and inverter status connections
• 24 V auxiliary power supply connector

Operator Interface Controls

The vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) located on the front upper right of the inverter
cabinet includes both a digital display screen and two buttons. The display screen
shows the inverter's state, scrolling continuously through the screens. The Scroll/
Pause button controls the display screen and the ON/OFF switch enables or disables
the inverter.
