Introduction
SJ200 Series inverters have built-in RS-485 serial communications, featuring the
ModBus RTU protocol. The inverters can connect directly to existing factory networks
or work with new networked applications, without any extra interface equipment. The
specifications for SJ200 serial communications are in the following table.
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.
