RS485 signals are floating and each signal is transmitted over a + line and a - line.
RS485 receiver compares the voltage difference between both lines, instead of
the absolute voltage level on a signal line.
With RS485 there is no any common zero as a signal reference.
Several volts difference in the ground level of the RS485 transmitter and receiver does
not cause any problems.

Confidential
Even better EM noise resistance results are achieved if the + and - lines are twisted.
Image below explains why.
When the cable is twisted, direction
of the noise current is the opposite
in different parts of the cable.
Because of this, the resulting noise
current is many factors lower than
with an ordinary straight cable.

RS485 communication lines: string inverters
RS485 line connection
Power-One inverters use a RS485 HalfDuplex communication line.
The cable used must be a screened twisted
pair with a characteristic impedance
Z0=120Ohm.
Continuity along the communication line
must be given to the shielding and this last
must be grounded at one end only.

•Connect all units of the RS485 chain in accordance with the “daisychain” scheme (“in-out”) respecting the correspondence between the
signals;
•Activate, in the last element of the chain, the termination resistance of
the communication line by switching the dedicated dip-switch;
•Set a different RS485 address on each inverter for every inverter of the
chain. NO INVERTERS SHOULD HAVE “Auto” AS AN ADDRESS;
•The communication line should be no longer than 1000m in length;
•Do not connect more than 64 inverters to the same RS485
communication line.

RS485 communication ports
•Two RS485 communication ports:
- RS485#1 – Inverter port (up to 64 inverters)
- RS485#2 – Configurable port
- ModBus port: acquisition of data and management of
ModBus devices (energy meters/LED displays/PLC)
- Inverter port (up to 64 inverters): monitoring extended
to 128 inverters
Communication port(s) with inverters
The new communication mode “Freeze and Hi-Speed” combines the
synchronization of data from the inverters with increased speed of data
acquisition from the inverters, allowing for a greater frequency in terms
of saving data in the internal memory and an accurate and efficient
system diagnostics.

The RS485#2 port is configurable as a ModBus RTU Standard port.
•Compatibility: ModBus RTU with function 03 (Read Holding
Registers), function 04 (Read Input Registers) and function 06 (Preset
Single Register).
•Operating mode: Master or Slave.
•Master mode: acquisition of data from the energy meters
(compatibility with the most common energy meters), control
devices with ModBus compatibility, synoptic LED display
management.
•Slave mode: scanning via PLC of the data acquired by the
