• Connect all the units to the RS485 chain according to the “daisy-chain” scheme observing the correspon-dence between signals (refer to inverter product manual) • In the last unit of the chain, activate the ending resistance of the communication line through the switching of the dip-switch dedicated• Set on each inverter of the chain an RS485 exclusive address (a different address for each inverter) • The communication line must not exceed 1000m length

In case of communication lines are especially long, it is advisable to/ it could be necessary the use of signal amplifier which has to be installed along the communication line

Inside the inverters the connection to the RS485 line can be made indifferently through the couple of connec-tor RJ12/RJ45 (one for the input and one for the output of the RS485 line) or through the terminal block.

- In case of terminal block it must be used RTN(or GND COM), +T/R (or D+) and -T/R(or D-) terminals.- In case of RJ12/RJ45 connector the plugs you have to use must be wired accroding to the scheme in follow-ing table:

Insert the USB cable into the converter and in the PC

Installation procedure of the USB driver for the PVI-USB-RS232_RS485 converter:In succession is illustrated the procedure of driver installation ver. 2.08.24 issued on the provider website the 26/04/2012. For the last version of the driver and for the compatibility with the most common operating systems, we refer to the table at the end of the procedure.

1. Launch the file CDM20824.exe

2. Click on “Yes”

3. Wait for the complete installation of the drivers

4. Connect the converter to an USB port of the PC. To ve-rify which COM port has been assigned to the converter:Path for OS Windows XPControl panel System Hardware Peripheral mana-gement Port (COM e LPT).Path for OS Windows 7Control panel System Device management Port (COM e LPT).

5. Making a double click on the USB port, the screen of the port properties turns on. Check on the tab “Driver” that the driver provider is FTDI and the dirver version is 2.8.24.0 of the 10/04/2012.

After connecting and laying the serial line RS485, the procedure of commissioning of the converter is the following:

- Connect the connector coming from the RS485 serial line linked to the inverters and/or stringcomb.
