8-4 RS-485 Modbus RTU Serial Communications
The serial communications interface supports operation, configuration and monitoring of inverter
functions through an EIA/RS-485 connection. The serial interface is based on Modbus RTU
protocol. This protocol allows the inverter to function as an RTU slave on an industrial network.

8- 4-2 Connection
Connection method:
Use shielded wire and connect to the control terminals (DX-, DX+ and SD). A terminating
resistor should be added between the data lines on the each end of the network. The value of
the terminating resistor depends on the characteristic impedance of the cable. A common
value is 120 ohms.
Control terminals:

8- 4-3 Serial Interface Configuration
Inverter function codes H30 to H39 are used to configure the serial interface parameters, such
as device address, baud rate and error response.
8- 4- 4 Modbus RTU Functions
The following RTU functions are supported. The maximum number of consecutive parameters
for function 03 and 16 messages is 16.
Code Description
03
Read Holding Registers (16 registers maximum)
06
