TL3 series

  1. Settings ⇒ Network

  2. Network ⇒ DHCP: Set to Off so that DHCP is disabled (This setting is necessary to ensure that the inverter can always be reached at the same IP address through the FEMS).

  3. Network ⇒ IP address: Set an unused IP address in the address range of the router.

  4. Network ⇒ Subnet mask: Set the subnet mask used in the network (default: 255.255.255.0)

  5. Network ⇒ Gateway: Set the IP address of the router as the gateway.

  6. Network ⇒ Modbus TCP: Set the operating mode to On to activate the Modbus/TCP interface.

  7. Network ⇒ Modbus TCP: Set the port to 502 (default setting).

The Modbus unit ID in the KACO PV inverter app must be set to '3'.

3. Ping test

To test the configuration, we recommend pinging the inverter in the local customer network.

In the example below, the IP address 192.168.188.40 was set for the inverter in the configuration.
