Chapter 12:
Communications to the inverter is via Ethernet on the Control Module. This allows access to:
•
The PDQ and PDD PC programming tools
•
The Modbus TCP server (see Appendix A - Modbus TCP)
•
The HTTP server (see section below)
•
Application access to the Ethernet including peer-to-peer communications
•
IEEE 1588v2 Precision Time Protocol
The Ethernet operates at 10/100 MHz, half/full duplex. Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) is supported.
The AC30P or AC30D has a built-in Ethernet switch with two external Ethernet ports allowing for daisy chaining of inverters.
