I have a very strange problem, I’m controlling my Multi RS Solar over modbus. That works perfectly usually but since some time it works for a few hours and when the SoC reaches 24% the inverter goes to OFF mode. But ONLY in the GUI, on modbus/dbus spy AND the Victronconnectapp the mode is 3 = ON. I really cannot find anywhere why the mode only changes in the GUI to off but it acts accordingly to it. It just stops discharging. I have added some printscreens to show what I mean. There are no alarms, minimum SoC = 5%. It happened to 3.50 firmware and new 3.70 so its not a FW thing.
Btw what is also strange from start till now is that the ACpowersetpoint in modbus never corresponds to the Victronconnect app. Why is that? It makes no sense at all. Set it over modbus to -5000W and the app still says 0W. The ACpowersetpoint in Multiplus 2 DOES match the setpoint in ESS settings. Why in Multi RS this is different? It looks like a huge bug to me to be honest which corresponds with the issue I have now
To make it even more strange, why is the switch ON and the state OFF?? It really really does not make sense at all. I cannot get it in any other state than OFF. It looks like there is some shadow firmware in the background which does totally different things
I just found out that the MODE function in the Victronconnect app does NOT correspond to the MODE in the GUI but to the STATE in GUI. GUI mode now says ON, app says mode OFF. When I turn it on in app the GUI STATE goes to ON. What the hell is the difference between mode and state? Why is this not corresponding? Why MODE on app changes STATE in GUI?? Is there some crucial info missing in the modbus XLS list??
On my system, I believe it correctly mirrors the values.
Here below how the docs says, how gui says and how the dbus-spy says.
More of that, see that on Modbus there is a section named “acsystem” that is specifically designed for RS devices and their control…
ESS setpoint is 4922.
Sorry, but you lost me… Which switch? Are you referring to the physical switch?
Because you said “change it with the CLI to charger only”… and I’ve assumed by CLI you meant “command line interface”, aka os prompt.
Its on top of the mode, SWITCH: ON. That you can turn off, to charger only etc. over modbus. Victron named it switch buts its not a physical switch actually
Can you, please, make a small video, like I did to show us what you mean?..
Because, in my video, when I change the Mode value, from 3 to 1, it clearly mirrors it on the “Switch”, on gui, the changed state, from On to Charger only and back.
