3.1. Communication through the RS-485 serial line
The RS-485 local communication schema is as follows:
E
B A
C
F
D
A A A B
EE
EE E
With inverters B and A connected by bus and media converter C connected to a local PC - D. E represents the RS-485
cabling whilst, depending on converter C, the F cabling can either be RS-232, USB or Ethernet.
3.1.1. General comments
RS-485, as the EIA-485 standard is generally known, defines the electrical characteristics of transmitters and
receivers in an inexpensive, digital communications system in hostile electromagnetic environments. Its high noise
immunity is due to the fact that it operates in a differential communication mode, in other words the data is trans-
mitted over a single two wire, normally twisted pair in which the signal carried in one wire is inverted whilst the signal
carried in the other wire is non-inverted. The EIA-485 standard defines the B signal as the “non-inverting” or positive
pin (+), whilst the A signal is the inverting or negative (-) pin.
Solar PV plant cabling generally carries high energy flows which can negatively affect communication.
Ingeteam recommends a careful plant design to ensure that the data lines are as far apart as possible
from the power lines and that the total cabling length is kept to a minimum.
Topology
The recommended cabling arrangement is a series of consecutive nodes, also called a bus or line configuration. A star,
ring or multiply connected network is not recommended. Ingeteam Energy also advises you not to be conservative in
the number of nodes in each bus, by not connecting more than 30 items of equipment.
In a bus topology, it is best to have the master centrally located in the bus, in order to ensure optimum signal strength
to as many slaves as possible.

AAX2002IKI01 7
Ingeteam Energy, S.A.Installation Manual
Speed
The communication speed in the Ingecon®Sun units is 9600 bps. In addition, the serial communication uses 8 data
bits, with no parity bit, and 1 stop bit.
Half Duplex
In the Ingecon®Sun units, communication via the RS-485 line is made with two wires in the Half Duplex mode. In
this configuration, the same pair of wires is used for the data sent and that received, with the Ingecon®Sun Manager
software being responsible for ensuring that two devices to not simultaneously access the bus.
Cabling
A “shielded twisted pair” type cable is recommended, with a characteristic impedance of 100 - 120 Ohm, for example
the Unitronic Bus IBS 2x2x0.22, made by LappKabel. A twisted pair should be used for the B (+) and A (-) signal
pair, and another for the GND.
Although the data is transmitted over a two-wire pair, a GND also needs to be wired, in order to
provide a common voltage reference for all the devices connected to the bus. Some manufacturers
forget this point and only supply two wires, which can create communication problems.
End of line
The standard recommends that, at either end of the RS-485 cabling, in this case the inverters marked as B, some
120 ohm end of line resistors should be installed. All the models in the Ingecon®Sun range are fitted with these
resistors.
• Ingecon®Sun Lite – The installation is made at the Harting connector of Kit AAY0013.
• Single phase units prior to 2009, refer to section “AAP0034”.
• Other equipment, refer to section “AAX7002”.
Protective shield
The cable shield is intended to protect the communications from electromagnetic noise. Initially, and for each cable
section installed, we would recommend grounding the mesh at just one of the section ends.
3.1.2. RS-485 accessories for Ingecon®Sun
AAP0034
Reference AAX0034, comprising communications board AAX7002 and an internal cable with a Harting type push-
