Connect Goodwe Inverter via RS485 Modbus RTU - pioneersteffen - 03.06.2023

Hi @all,

I want to connect my Goodwe Inverter to W4K/LM via Modbus RTU. Attached you can find the protocol description.
I tried to transfer the document in a Modbus config and performed a Read Test for the “Ipv1” value (pictures attached) but unfortunately it doesn’t work.

Can you please help me and give me a hint what I may making wrong? 

Many thanks for your help!

Best Regards 
Steffen

What error do you get when doing read test?

Hi Admin,

many thanks for the response and sorry for my late reply.

The failure message is timeout, see picture attached.

Any ideas what I need to change?

Many thanks for your help!

Best regards

Make sure RTU settings on the inverter are the same as in W4K, Try changing +/-

Hi Daniel,

I changed +/- and were successful in getting response from the inverter.

BUT now I getting a strange behavior of the W4K. It restarts every approximately every 3-4h. It is definitely related to the RS485 connection.
Any idea why? I have no resistor oder termination in the RS485 bus and just 2 wires D+/D- connected. Also just the W4K and the Goodwe inverter are on the BUS.

Many thanks for your help!

Best Regards
Steffen

Hi @all,

I found the solution for the issue. After I added 120 ohm resistor termination to the wiring no reset of W4K happened anymore.

Best regards
