1 Before You Start

1.1 Software of Device

1.2 Precautions

1.1 Software of Device

To properly use the Modbus TCP function, each device subcomponent has a
minimum version number. The following table lists the minimum version number
requirements

Device Minimum version number

SDongleA-05 V100R001C00SPC124

SUN2000L V200R001C00SPC115

SUN2000MA V100R001C00SPC139

1.2 Precautions
Before enable/disable Modbus TCP, pay attention to the following:
● During the configuration, ensure that the Dongle is not powered off.
● After the configuration is complete, you do not need to perform the
configuration again after the device is powered off and then powered on.
● After the inverter is replaced, reconfigure the inverter.
● After the Dongle is replaced, you do not need to reconfigure the inverter.

to connect. Here, select WLAN.
Select the WiFi name of the inverter and enter the WiFi password of the
inverter. Use the initial password Changeme for the first login and change the
password as soon as possible to ensure account security.
NOTE

The WiFi name of the connected inverter is SUN2000-SN, which can be obtained from the
inverter label.

NOTE

If the MODBUS TCP function is disabled, customer devices cannot access the network.
If the restriction function is enabled, you must configure a trustlist IP address (currently,
only one trustlist IP address is supported) so that only the client devices with the trustlist IP
address can access the network.
If unrestricted is enabled, all client devices on the same LAN can access the network, but
only one client device can access the network at a time.

----End

3.1.3 Troubleshooting
If Modbus TCP is not found in step 6, check whether the inverter version and app
version meet requirements.
If MODBUS TCP still cannot be used after the configuration is complete, check
whether the SDongle version meets the requirements.
