Introduction

L200 Series inverters have built-in RS-485 serial communications, featuring the
2
ModBus RTU protocol. The inverters can connect directly to existing factory networks
or work with new networked applications, without any extra interface equipment. The

The network diagram below shows a series of inverters communicating with a host
computer. each inverter must have a unique address, from 1 to 32, on the network. In a
typical application, a host computer or controller is the master and each of the inverter(s)
or other devices is a slave.
Host computer
serial communications are in the following table.
