RS transmission buffer overflow

Fronius · Solar Energy

What does 7 mean?

This error occurs when the transmit buffer for the RS communication interface (likely RS-232/485) receives more data than it can process or hold. This can lead to data loss during transmission and disruption of serial communication.

Common Causes

  • High data transmission rate exceeding buffer capacity
  • Slow processing of data from the transmit buffer
  • Incorrect communication settings (e.g., baud rate mismatch)

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify RS communication parameters (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits) on the Fronius device and the connected external system are identical.

  2. 2

    Inspect the RS communication cabling for damage, proper termination, and secure connections between the Fronius device and the external system.

  3. 3

    Check the external device's configuration and data transmission rate to ensure it is not overwhelming the Fronius communication buffer.

  4. 4

    Cycle power to both the Fronius device and the connected external system to reset communication interfaces.
