2. Note that the inverter also has a port like the one below.
3.The inverters are connected to the ShineMaster via RS485 parallel connection. Using
the RS485 wired communication connection, the ShineMaster can monitor up to 64
inverters stably.
4.Other 485 communication devices such as smart meters, junction box, environmental
monitor, etc., connection method and the inverter is the sam.
Note: 1) Communication RS485 shielded wire must be ground (PE), so as not to affect the
stability of communication.
2) ShineMaster double 485 ports are connected to the matched resistance with 120
ohms, and when one or more inverters with ShineMaster 485 communication, must have
one inverter connect matched resistance with 120 ohms. Avoid affecting
communication. ( If multilple inverters connect one 485 port can only have one inverter
connect the matched resistance.)
3) The weather station, combiner and smart meter manufacturers must be designated by
Growatt.
4 ShineMaster internal page parameter setting
4.1 Access methods
1. Connect PC and ShineMaster to the same router, make them in the same LAN.
2. Check ShineMaster IP addres. Take an example with TP_LINK router：
1) Get in the router management page.
2) Click on the "DHCP server - > client list".
3) Find the same as the serial number of the collector SN the client name，This IP is the
IP address of the router assigned to ShineMaster.
Than if: ShineMaster serial number of SN is: AEA3745001, the query results as shown in
the figure below:
10 11
4.1.1 The first method:
Note: the router must open the DHCP function.
3.In the browser input ShineMaster IP address into ShineMaster internal web page.
4.1.2 The second method：
1.Connect PC with ShineMaster directly with cable.
2.Amend the computer IP to 192.168.0. XXX (XXX range is 2 ~ 253). Computer IP
Settings as shown in the figure below:
Note: Do not need to set the DNS server address
3.ShineMaster internal default access IP for: 192.168.0.254. On the web page input
192.168.0.254 can access the built-in web page.
4.2 The internal page
Check the cable between devices, then input the Internet explorer browser with
ShineMaster IP address to log into ShineMaster internal web page
Note: ShineMaster and computer must be in the same network segment, otherwise
cannot access the internal web page.
1:If using the methods in 4.1 a, the input in the browser 192.168.100.101; If using
method 2, the input 192.168.0.254 in the browser. As the figure below:
