Chapter 2: Connectingthe CommercialGateway to the Installation

Chapter 2: Connecting the Commercial

Gateway to the Installation

Overview

The Commercial Gateway connects to the PV system installation using the RS485 communication option.
The RS485 option enables creating a chain (bus) of up to 31 slave SolarEdge devices, connected to one
master, which can be another SolarEdge device or the Commercial Gateway.

The following is an example of a master Commercial Gateway connected to a chain of slave inverters.

Figure 4: Example of RS485 connection

The following sections describe how to connect the RS485 bus and how to configure its components.

Creating an RS485 Bus Connection

The RS485 bus uses a three-wire cable connecting the RS485-1/2 terminal blocks on the Commercial
Gateway to the RS485 input of the inverters/SMI.

To connect the RS485 communication bus between inverters/SMIs and
the Commercial Gateway:

1.

Use one of the supplied 3-pin terminal blocks: Loosen the screws and insert the wire ends into the A, B
and G pins. For conn ections longer then 10m use twisted pair wires for A and B wires.

Figure 5: 3-pin terminal block

Commerical Gateway Installation Guide MAN-01-00365- 1.1

11

Creating an RS485 Bus Connection

2.

Choose either RS485-1 or RS485-2 for connection. Connect th e 3-pin terminal block to the designated
port on th e Commercial Gateway.

NOTE



3.

If the Commercial Gateway is at the end of the RS485 chain, terminate the Commercial Gateway by
switching a termination DIP switch to ON. The switches in the SolarEdge Commercial Gateway are
marked SW1 for the RS485-1 port termination and SW2 for the RS485-2 port termination, as shown
below:

4. Open the inverter/SMI cover as described in their manual.

5. Remove the seal from one of the openings in communication gland #2 of the inverter and insert the
cable through the opening.

6.

Pull out the 9-pin RS485 terminal block connector, as shown below:

RS485-1 is configured as SolarEdge device by default, therefore RS485-1 is
recom mended as the RS485 bus connection point.

Figure 6: RS485 connectors and termination switches

7.

Loosen the screws of pins B, A and G on the left of the RS-485 terminal block.

l For inverter: RS485-1 pins (left-most)

l For SMI: RS485-1 (recommended, as this is the default configuration), or RS485-2

Figure 8: RS485 terminal block

8. Insert the wire ends into th e G, A and B pins shown above. You can use any color wire for each of the
A, B and G connections, as long as the same color wire is used for all A pins, the same color for all B
pins and the same color for all G pins.

9.

Connect all B, A and G pins in all inverters/SMI. The following figure illustrates this con nect ion schema
(the illustration applies to both inverters and SMI):

Figure 9: Conn ecting SolarEdg e devices (in verters or SMI) in a chain

NOTE

Do not cross-connect B, A and G wires.



10. Tighten th e terminal block screws.

11. Push the RS485 terminal block firmly all the way into the com munication board.

Commerical Gateway Installation Guide MAN-01-00365- 1.1

For inverters - Do not insert wires into RS485-2 pins.

For SMI - Make sure you are using the same RS485 port (1/2) in all devices.

13

Creating an RS485 Bus Connection

12.

Terminate the inverters/SMIs at the two ends of the chain by switching a termination DIP -switch
inside the inverter/SMI to ON (move the switch to the top). The switch is located on the
com mu nication board and is marked SW7.

Figure 10: RS485 termination switch

NOTE

Only the first and last SolarEdge devices in the chain should be terminated. The other devices

in the chain should have the termination switch OFF.

To configure the RS485 communication bus with SolarEdge
inverters/SMI:

By default, all SolarEdge devices are pre-configured as slaves on the RS485-1 port. Slaves can be further
con figured using the RS485-X Conf option in the Communication menu.

One device must be set as the master on the RS485 bus. Any SolarEdge device may be the master
(Commercial Gateway, inverter, or SMI). If you connect the installation to the SolarEdge monitoring
platform, the device used to connect to the server must be the master.

The following describes how to configure the master device.

1.

Press the Enter butt on until the following message is displayed:

P l e a s e e n t e r

T o t a l # o f S l a v e s : - -

2. Verify that S_OK appears, to indicate that the connection to the SolarEdge monito ring platform is
succ essful. If S_OK is not displayed, refer to Troubleshooting Com munication , below.

Troubleshooting the RS485 Communication

1.

If No Communication is displayed on the SolarEdge Commercial Gateway, perform th e following:

l Verify that the RS485 cable is connected to all inverters. Check the connections between the first

inverter in the chain and th e other inverters.

l Verify that one of the devices is defined as the master and that slaves were detected, as described

above.

2. If the message Master Not Found appears, check the connections to the master device and fix if
required.

3.

If after slave detection the number of slaves displayed in the master under RS485-X Conf è Slave
Detect is smaller than the actual num ber of slaves, use one of the following methods to identify
missing slaves and troubleshoot connectivity prob lems:

l Use the Long slave Detect to retry connecting to slaves

Overview

The Commercial Gateway supports up to three analog sensors. If you connect more sensors than
supported by a single Commercial Gateway, use an additional Comm ercial Gateway:

l Two sensors with voltage outp ut (V1, V2), each supports different voltage ranges

l One sensor with current out put (I)

The following environm ental sensor types are supported:

Sensor T ype Confi gur able R ange Unit

Temperature

Irradiance 0 to 9999 W/m2

Wind velocity 0 to 99 m/s

Wind direction 0 to 359 degrees

Pyranometer -200 to 2000 W/m²

You can view the sensor data in the Status window (see Sensors Status on page 35), and in the monitoring
platform.

Commercial Gateway (Optional)

Communication Dataflow

The SolarEdge site information can be accessed remotely using the SolarEdge mon itoring platform. In
order to transfer monitoring data from a SolarEdge site to the SolarEdge monito ring platform , a
com mu nications connection must be established. Communications are not required for power
harvesting - they are required only when using the monitoring platform.

Any SolarEdge device can serve as the connection point. This chapt er describes how to set up this
con nect ion with the Comm ercial Gateway serving as the conn ection point to the monitoring platform.
The Commercial Gateway should be the master on an RS485 bus.

Communication Options

The following types of communication can be used to transfer the monitored information from the
inverter to the monitoring platform through the Commercial Gateway.

Only commun ication product s offered by SolarEdge are supported.
