INSTALLATION AND WIRING
2.7 Communication connectors and terminals
2.7.1 RS-485 terminal block
Connecting between the RS-485 terminals of the master/slave inverters enables communication for the parallel operation.
For wiring, refer to page 51.
RS-485 terminal layout
Connection of RS-485 terminals and wires
• Use a 4-pair twisted cable for each connection.
• The size of RS-485 terminal block is the same as the control circuit terminal block. Refer to page 44 for the wiring method.
• The wiring length to the RS-485 terminals between the master/slave inverters should be within 5 m.
• To avoid malfunction, keep the RS-485 terminal wires away from the control circuit board.
• For wiring of the RS-485 terminals used with a plug-in option, lead the wires on the left side of the plug-in option.
