I am getting nuts telling my Victron EV charging station to charge my car in off grid mode + Auto mode.
I've read many post and tried many things, but it does not work.
During my search I read something about Modbus, which I am totally unconfident with.
I've assumed that I don't need to be a "programmer" to setup my EVCS doing things I want to.
FYI:
- Cerbo + Multiplus + EVCS etc. with latest firmware
- Manual Mode is working fine
- Installed PV peak Power 4800W (during actual weather conditions about 3500W peak)
One of my unasnswered questions:
- What are the ultimate conditions for my EVCS to start charging in Auto mode?
I've read so may times "starts when there is enough PV excess power".
But: What is "enough excess power", where and how is it defined?
I need about 1840 w when set to 8 amps for charging my car, so getting more than 3000 w from the roof must be "enough excess power", right or wrong?
But it does not start.
Also there is no setup in EVCS where I can set a power value which has to be reached before charging starts.
BUT:
It look like there is a value within the Modbus table on the EVCS which maybe could be what I am searching for.
Can anybody PLEASE tell me, if I am on the right track, and if yes, how to check and modify this value.
BTW: I am totally new to this Modbus thing!!! So I need a manual for dummys ;-)
