How to Use

Step 1: Install the FTDI Driver

Download and install the appropriate FTDI Virtual COM Port (VCP) driver for your Windows, macOS or Linux computer.

Step 2: Connect the USB Cable

Plug the USB connector into an available USB port on your computer.

Step 3: Connect to the Inverter

Connect the RJ45 end to the inverter's designated RS485 communication port. Make sure the cable pinout matches your inverter's RS485 interface.

Step 4: Check the COM Port

On Windows, open Device Manager and expand Ports (COM & LPT). Find the FTDI USB Serial Port and note the assigned COM port number.

Step 5: Configure Communication Software

Open the inverter's supported monitoring or configuration software. Select the correct COM port and enter the communication parameters specified in your inverter manual.

Step 6: Establish Communication

Connect to the inverter and check whether the software can read its data or communicate with the device. If communication fails, recheck the port selection, baud rate, RS485 A/B wiring and inverter communication settings.

Applications

• Inverter configuration and parameter setup

• RS485 communication between inverter and PC

• Inverter monitoring and data reading

• Solar power system troubleshooting and maintenance

• Serial communication with compatible inverter software
