Hi,
this is my first time on this forum and I hope someone can answer this question:
My installer has connected the Pylontech US2000C (to CERBO GX and Multiplus II) to the VE.Can port.
However, I would like to connect them to the BMS-Can as recommended.
Can I simply change the connector and the terminator from VE.Can to BMS-Can?
What is the procedure?
Thank you in advance and greetings
Klaus
@Klaus Gorka The two ports run at different speeds. VE.Can is 256K and BMS-Can is 200K. If the battery is being displayed within the Cerbo and everything is working, why do you need to change?
I am nots are what documentation you may have read that has lead you to believe they should be connected to the BMS-Can port of the Cerbo. Please read this document. The document contains the following.
The battery with the empty link port 0 is the master battery.
Type A cable
The Victron VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS type A Cable, part number ASS030710018 is used for connection with US2000C / US3000C / UP5000 / US5000 / US5000B / Force-L.
Clearly stating the VE,Can port on the Cerbo should be used. As I say if the battery is being detected and displayed, I would not change anything from what the installer has done. If the battery is not being detected, please talk to the installer.
@Bathnm OK but I read in this document this:
Connections
Some GX devices (such as the Cerbo GX), have multiple CAN ports. If your GX device has a BMS-Can port, this should be used. If your GX device ONLY has VE.Can ports, you will need to change the VE.Can port profile to CAN-bus BMS (500 kbit/s) for the battery (and then it cannot be used for other VE.Can devices).
