I have a set of 2 x Pylon Technologies Extra2000 Lithium batteries (not USB2000), which use RS232 intererface, for "network communication". Does anybody know how/if I could connect those up to a Venus device, for monitoring of the internal battery BMS? (The batteries are 2.4KWh, much the same specs as the USB2000b)
if you connect the batteries together using their rs485 ports and set their ids to 00 and 01
they will talk to each other.. some use the serial port on 00 to access the whole stacks data.
others have a CAN bus port instead.
You will need the protocol details and to write some code to collect the data and repackage it for the GX to use.
