In this post No BMS CAN connection with Cerbo GX - #27 by DuivertNL, Mark said, and showed, that it was working.
Mine is not working like this. It shows on the Remote Console and VRM but I can only see a single battery.
This said, can someone tell me what CAN protocol has Mark set finally on the batteries (Victron)?
Also, if I have it right, how do I get to this screen below?
I think he used victron, but could also be pylontech
That screen is the info you can see when the battery is connected right in vrm remote console
From my Cerbo I get:
So, the battery is seen and is like to be communicating with Multiplus. But I don’t know how to get the screen above on Cerbo that shows the information from the BMS. Or it is just not communicating and what I see is the “interpretation” of Multiplus based on the battery voltage.
In vrm go to remote console, press menu, then you will see the device list, if it sees the battery its in that list
Yes it is, look:
Now, why I can not see on my Cerbo (remote console) the info like the screenshot Mark got? (look at my first post in this subject)
Check cerbo settings power down and then reboot and see if it shows up hope that helps, mine are pylontech
Yes! After rebooting Cerbo it shows on PT.
Now it is time to find why it only detects one battery but I guess this is another problem that I need to research to find the correct way to setup them in parallel.
Thank you guys!
In my case (Basen-Green), the battery that you connect via CAN bus to the Cerbo must be set to unit 0, in thsi case, “master” of the RS485 bus that interconnect the batteries. Then connect to this unit to all the others, each one with their own exclusive unit address.
Wow didn’t see that, that’s how it came, but changed it now, doesn’t seem to have any affect to be honest
Now I can see both batteries. However, the info on the battery is:
So 72% SOC, information got from the BMS that is right as it is equal to what I see on the battery display.
But on the Remote Console (Cerbo) I see:
In this case, 68% SOC not 72%.
Can anyone explain this discrepancy?
Is this because the Multiplus II configuration?
Did you config the multiplus 2 for the batteries?
All of your settings for pylontech are here Victron & Pylontech UP2500, US2000, US3000, US2000C, US3000C, US5000, US5000B, UF5000, Pelio-L, UP5000, Phantom-S, Force-L1 & L2 [Victron Energy]
It may be a stupid question, but… These sets are about Pylontech. My batteries are Basen-Green. Are them the same?
Sorry thought you had pylontech apologies!
As all power indicators correlate I’d also trust the soc.
It looks like the other picture shows only the data of one battery…at least for power and current
