CONNECTION DIAGRAM
Figure D1 –GoodWe Sring Inverter Connections
Connection Steps:
1. Please unscrew the RS485 terminal as shown in Figure D1.
2. Please make the connections from the Terminal Block of Goodwe RS485
chipt to TrackSo IoT Gateway as mentioned in the Table –T1.
3. Please provide 12V external supply to TrackSo IoT Gateway via 12V, 2A DC
adaptor provided in the package.
4. The RS485 cables should be kept separate from the AC cable and the DC
cables to avoid interferences.
Note: Please insure to carry 2PIN/6PIN Terminal supplied with inverters.

SETTING THE INVERTER ID
The inverter ID is used to identify the inverter in a RS485 connection
Set a different inverter ID for each inverter in the PV plant. Otherwise, the inverters cannot be correctly
identified.
On the last inverter in the RS485 connection, switch on the RS485 termination resistor.
SET DATE & TIME OF INVERTER
For a precise calculation of the statistics in the inverter itself and in a monitoring system, date and time have to be
correct.
Set the Correct Date & Time
Set correct Inverter Ids

Communication Card Settings
Termination resistor dip switch. Available in DT only
Single Inverter
Please put ON the dip switch (The default if OFF)
Multiple Inverters
Please put ON the dip Switch in the last Inverter ( The default is OFF)
The above details are mentioned in the Installation & Operation Manual for GoodWe Inverters.
