Modbus RTU over RS485

1. Connect the serial cable between the serial port of the Teleport and the RS485-in serial port of the Sofar inverter. You can find more details about the connection of different models in this file.

2. On the inverter’s LCD display, navigate to Set Mod-bus Address (Normal -> 1. Enter Setting -> 9. Set Mod-bus Address), then - In the case of a single inverter, verify the address is set to 1. - In the case of multiple inverters in chain connections, let us know the address of each inverter.
