You need to connect the battery tothe inverter, for that plug the red and black cables in the red and black battery port on the inverter, then you need to connect the two via the black cable as follow :
To connect the Sofar EMS controller to the inverter you will need a Modbus Card, put it in the intelligent slot of the inverter (you may need to remove the cache by unscrewing the two black plates, see the picture below). Configure the Modbus Card according to the current documentation in the manufacturer's communication downloads.
Once the Modbus Card is well configured, you can plug the cables into the controller, for that strip one end of your RS485 cable and take the cables corresponding to the pins 4 (usually blue) and 5 (usually blue and white). Then plug the pin 4 into the RS485B port of the controller and the pin 5 in the RS485A port of the controller.
You then need to connect the device to the controller, for that follow this guide : Adding a device.
