1. Introduction
This communication protocol,adopting Modbus RTUprotocol, applies to the communication between Sungrow PV
grid-connected string inverters and the upper computer (PC) monitoring software. This protocol can read the
real-time operating data and fault states of inverters.

2. Communication Interface
1) RS485
Default setting
Address Inverter: 1 – 247 settable
PC: 1 – 247 settable
Broadcast Yes
Baud rate 9600bit/s
Check bit Null or settable
Data bit 8
Stop bit 1
Mode RTU
Appliance interface RS485-2W cable connection

2) Ethernet (optional)
Default:
- IP: 192.168.1.100;
- Sub-Net: 255.255.0.0
- Port: 502

3. Definition of Address
- Read-only register type supports the cmdcode of 0x04

- - Holding register type supports the cmdcode of 0x03, 0x10 and 0x06
- -Cmdcodes 0x10 and 0x06 support the broadcast address 0
Note:
Communication address = protocol address – 1. If data of address 5000 is to be inquired, the corresponding sending
address data is 4999 (0x1387);
U16: 16-bit unsigned integer, big-endian;
U32: 32-bit unsigned integer; little-endian for double-word data. Big-endian for byte data;
S16: 16-bit signed integer, big-endian;
S32: 32-bit signed integer; little-endian for double-word data. Big-endian for byte data
Power factor: + means leading; - means lagging, 1000 means power factor 1.000, 950 means power factor 0.95.
