Service Tip: Which SMA Inverters Support Modbus?

(Update February 3, 2022):

The current overview of which inverters support Modbus can be found – subdivided by product type – in the download area of the product page under “background knowledge”.

 

(Update January 9, 2018):

Many customers ask us whether their inverter supports Modbus and where exactly they can check this. Our product management has prepared a detailed list about this topic.
You can find it here:

 

1. Go to the SMA download page for the Modbus protocol interface

Download the Modbus specification (ZIP file) there.

Modbus_Interface1

Technical Information_Modbus2

Please note that you may see a different version number if the document has been updated since this was published.

 

2. After you extract the ZIP file, you will find two files.

SMA_Modbus-TB3

You can find all the devices that support Modbus in the device-specific list (Excel), under “SMA Device Types.”

    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.

    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?

    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
