CONNECTION DIAGRAM
The below diagram shows communication interface which is located at the bottom of the inverter.
Connection Procedure
1. Please unscrew the RS485 terminal (communication port ) as shown in Figure P1.
2. Please make the connections from the Inverter RS485 port to TrackSo IoT Gateway as per Method-1 or Method-2 mentioned (Pictures
available on next page)
a. Method-1 -Applicable for all Polycab Inverters having RS485 communication output
on LAN type RJ45 port
Insert one side of a LAN wire in RJ45 port of Inverter, on other side Short 1 st and 4th
wire and connect to Data+ pin on TrackSo and short 2nd and 5th Wire and connect to
Data- pin on TrackSo
Connect Pin A of Inverter to Data+ on TrackSo and connect Pin B of inverter to Data-
on TrackSo
Method-1 -Applicable for all Polycab Inverters having RS485 communication Method-1
output on LAN type / RJ45 port

Table PT1 –Polycab RJ45 type port connections with TrackSo IoT Gateway
If multiple Inverters are to be connected then connect all Inv in daisy chain mode over the RS485 communication cable. Set different
Modbus address (1~256) for each inverter in LCD display.
Note: Ensure to use a 120ohm Modbus Terminator at the end of the network, for proper communication
Method-2
Method-2 - Applicable for 5G series Polycab Inverters having RS485
communication output on 2pin type connector.

DEFAULT CONFIGURATION IN TRACKSO IOT GATEWAY
If you connect multiple inverters via RS485, set the same baud rate on each inverter.
Kindly note Polycab Inverters are by default available at 9600bps and does not provide any option to change baud rate.
