Solis S-Series Hybrid Inverters
Wiring
The RS485 connection is made via the 16-pin COM connector at the bottom of the converter.
Info
RS485 Wiring
- For correct RS485 wiring: Follow the guidelines for RS485 wiring.
- If the wiring shown in the table below is incorrect, please let us know.
- There is no general consensus in the industry about the usage of A and B for the RS485 polarity, so it may be counterintuitive and opposite of what you might expect for some devices.
| Device | a-TroniX Controller model OM1 | a-TroniX Controller model IG8 | RS485-USB converter | RS485-Ethernet converter |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RS485 IN A | RS485 A | RS485_POS | RS485 A | TX+ |
| RS485 IN B | RS485 B | RS485_NEG | RS485 B | TX- |
| N/A | RS GND | GND | Not available | G |

Warning
NOTE: RS485 Device Addresses
- You MUST give each device on the RS485 bus a unique address. Check the manual of the device on how to do this.
- Use lower addresses first (1, 2, ...) because the a-TroniX Controller will find them faster!
- For each device, it is generally recommended to stick with the factory default baud rate, parity, and stop bits. The a-TroniX Controller will scan on those first.
By default, the inverter is set to address 1. This can be changed via the display of the inverter. You can find the procedure in chapter 7.3.2 of the manual.
