Chapter 6: Setting Up Communication
The inverter sends the following information to the monitoring platform:
Power optimizer information received via the DC power lines (the PV output circuit)
l
Inverter information
l
Information of any other connected devices
l
This chapter describes setting up communication between:
the inverter and the monitoring platform through the Internet (wired/ wireless), or through a cellular
l
connection
multiple inverters f or a master/slave configuration
l
Communication setup is not required for power harvesting, however it is needed for using the SolarEdge
monitoring platform.
NOTE
It is recommended to connect communication connections before connecting the AC, for easier
access to the communication board.
CAUTION!
When connecting the communication cables, make sure that the ON/OFF/P switch at the bottom of
the inverter is turned OFF, and the AC is turned OFF.
When configuring the communication parameters, make sure that the ON/OFF/P switch is in P
position, and the AC is turned ON.
When connecting the communication cables, make sure that the ON/OFF/P switch on the Connection
