No BMS CAN connection with Cerbo GX

this is my first system. Must I see more batteries? or is it only showing 1 battery with average values? I honestly don’t know.Is there only 1 BMS connected now. I can’t tell. It says 1 online. So the other 2 are not visible?

If you followed all manuals and settings you should see them all…

@MarkBng
Representation depend on BMS.
With Pace BMS I see one BMS with several modules. Highest and lowest cell voltage are on different modules. Capacity and current are summed up.

Pls double check address dip switches.

For Pulontech batteries pls check manual for startup sequence.

Pls find a screenshot from battery details:

Just a simple thing. What means battery modules… 1 online 0 offline in the picture above? 1 BMS is detected/visible? Just want to know. But I see 5 online here above, so you have 5 batteries/BMS devices connected?
I asked to disconnect the BMS link at the moment to make the system fully operational again. It was working before the BMS connection was operational. So the CAN connection is removed and also the RS485 connections. The battery wasn’t functioning right at the moment. The power to the battery was being limited with the BMS connection. I removed the BMS from the device list after I got errors. Now we have the voltage measurement on the MultiPlus to determine the SoC and we also connected the temperature sensor.

Problem is for instance the cable to connect battery 1 to battery 2. And battery 2 to battery 3. Is that a normal Straight-through cable or crossover-cable. Last one is compatible to connect the cerbo to the CAN of the basen green battery (only Can-H and Can-L without ground). I made a custon cable with ground for the CAN connection. Didn’t use the RS485. No connections between batteries are known. Which pins to what pins? Is a mystery to me. With normal network most lan phys have not this problem, because they have auto mdix, but that’s a different story and totally different signals.

Please read all supplied info and follow the manaul in the link i send

i already answered that question, custom CAN cable for can connection and normal rj45 network cables for rs 485 connections

If everything is setup right you should see all your batteries online

It works finally. Connected the cables again. made sure all settings were correct. made sure the jumpers were correct and it works. The are 3 batteries. 320Ah + 314Ah + 314Ah, so 948Ah in total and that’s is right.
