Service Tip: Which SMA Inverters support Modbus?
With the Modbus protocol interface, SMA offers plant owners the option of a flexible use from various inverters, chargers or system managers.
SMA devices can be used in the preferred system at any time without considering manufacturer-specific features. This solution is ideal for direct device integration into control centre systems or the connection to building automation systems.
Where can I find more information?
Many plant operators and installation companies want to know whether their SMA devices support Modbus and where exactly relevant instructions and documentation can be found.
You can find this information in the download area of the relevant product site under ‘Parameters / Modbus’.
Additonally, there is also a zip file with detailed instructions, supported Modbus registers and further tips.
Do you have any further suggestions for the Modbus interface?
Please feel free to add them to the comments section.
SMA don’t have organize they support, LATAM is the great forgetted?

Same comment as Eric, the file cannot be downloaded. Is there an explanation on how to enable Modbus on a 3600TL-21? Port 502 is closed on mine.
Hello Renaud,
Please check our product site for more information.
You will find the zip-file in the download-area.
Best regards

The link (http://www.sma.de/en/products/monitoring-control/modbus-protocol-interface.html) doesn’t actually give access to the Zip file with the spreadsheet, etc. It only allows downloading of the PDF document.
The error should be corrected by providing links on that download page to allow retrieval of the spreadsheet file in addition to the PDF file.

Hi,
We have customers with installed Sunny Boy SB5.0-1 AV-40 model and wanting to build a smart energy monitoring solution using either Modbus RTU or TCP. How do we check if these communications protocol is supported with this inverter model?
Does anyone know where to enable Modbus IP protocol in the Webconnect module, the installation manual states that it’s in the settings tab of Sunny explorrer but i cannot locate?

Is the new SI8.0H-12 support modbus via Cluster Controller? We seen to have issue of reading the value from the address. However, we do not have problem with SI8.0H-11. Thanks
Do STP17000TL-10 inverters need the Speedwire Data module? Does Modbus work with 485 Data modules?
Thanks
