1. Introduction
This communication protocol,adopting Modbus RTUprotocol, applies to the communication between Sungrow PV
grid-connected string inverters and the upper computer (PC) monitoring software. This protocol can read the
real-time operating data and fault states of inverters.

2. Communication Interface
1) RS485
Default setting
Address Inverter: 1 – 247 settable
PC: 1 – 247 settable
Broadcast Yes
Baud rate 9600bit/s
Check bit Null or settable
Data bit 8
Stop bit 1
Mode RTU
Appliance interface RS485-2W cable connection

2) Ethernet (optional)
Default:
- IP: 192.168.1.100;
- Sub-Net: 255.255.0.0
- Port: 502

3. Definition of Address
4. Data type
U16: 16-bit unsigned integer, big-endian
S16: 16-bit signed integer, big-endian
U32: 32-bit unsigned integer; little-endian for double-word data. Big-endian for byte data
S32: 32-bit signed integer; little-endian for double-word data. Big-endian for byte data
Example:
transmission order of U16 data 0x0102 is 01, 02
transmission order of U32 data 0x01020304 is 03, 04, 01, 02
The transmission order of multibyte data UTF-8: the high-byte data is in the front and the low-byte data is at
back.
Example: transmission order of UTF-8 data ABCD is A, B, C, D.
2. Value description
The decimal parameters are transmitted as integer after expansion. E.g.: 10.333 KW is transmitted as 10333;
800.5 V is transmitted as 8005. Negative numbers are transmitted as complement, 0xFFFF signifying -1.
Unavailable register cannot be viewed or set. The return of unsigned number is F, e.g. “0xFFFF” is the return for
U16, “0xFFFFFFFF” is the return for U32; the return of signed number is the max. positive number, e.g.
“0x7FFF” for S16, “0x7FFFFFFF” for S32; 0x00 for UTF-8. UTF-8 occupies 1 byte. The length of odd number
is complemented by 0x00.
Example:

4/ 29
 SG80KTL only one MPPT input, DC Voltage 2(5013)、DC current 2（5014） 、DC Voltage 3(5015)、DC current
3（5016） 、DC Voltage 4(5115)、DC current 4（5116）, The data for these registers are 0xFFFF.
3. Address type
Address of 3x type is read-only register, supporting the cmdcode inquiry of 0x04.
Address of 4x type is holding register, supporting the cmdcode inquiry of 0x03, and cmdcodeswrite-in of 0x10
and 0x06. Cmdcodes 0x10 and 0x06 support the broadcast address.
Support Modbus error code 02 (address error), 04 (setting failure).
Visit all registers by subtracting 1 from the register address. Example: if the address is 5000 –5001, visit it using
address 4999 –5000. Entering “01 04 1387 00 02 + CRC” to check the data of address 5000 –5001.
4. Verify type
CRC16 generates polynomial 0xA001, little-endian.
