3.4 Communication Interface
The inverter can be fitted with an extra communication interface (e.g., RS485 or Speedwire with
Webconnect function). This communication interface enables the inverter to communicate with special
SMA communication products or other inverters (for information on supported products, see
www.SMA-Solar.com). The interface can be retrofitted, installed at the factory if specified in the order
or included in the scope of delivery.
You can only set the inverter parameters via SMA communication products.
Depending on the type of communication, RS485 or Speedwire, the parameters and messages are
displayed differently on the communication products.
You can set the country data set of the inverter before commissioning or within the first ten operating
hours via the two rotary switches in the inverter. You can only set all other operating parameters of
the inverter via communication products.
