So, took the plunge and ordered the Waveshare RS485 to PoE Ethernet Module and had some time today to hook it up and configure it.
I connected both my Growatt 3000TL3-S inverters to the module and after some fiddling on the Inverters (Giving each a unique ID) and in the module’s settings I got it working!
Here the settings that work for me:
I made the following changes that differ with de module’s default settings:
Network Settings
- Device Port, set it to 502
- IP Mode, switched it to DHCP (Obviously made a reservation in my router)
Multi-Host Settings
- Protocol, switched it to Modbus TCP to RTU
- Enable Multi-host, switched to Yes
- Instruction Time out, was automatically set to 256 after saving the Protocol and Enable Multi-host settings.
It seems not all information from my inverters is handled correctly, I’ll monitor that and make a separate post for that.
