@Rick a couple of reboots and CAN details are all back working on the Cerbo screen, something obviously got out of whack! appreciate your help
@Rick a couple of reboots and CAN details are all back working on the Cerbo screen, something obviously got out of whack! appreciate your help
ok, good. For the CAN network, its likely a baudrate setup issue. I am going to send you a link to our new REC-Active Quick Start manual via email that steps you through it.
@Rick yep that fixed seeing it in the WiFi module (I clearly forgot about setting that when I originally installed it 😊😃 Still can't see it on the CAN network though 😢
That may not be bad advice. The Zeus was designed to support a dual alternator setup and as long as you have matching alternators, you should be able to get some good output from this configu...
When you Factory reset the wifi module you lost the comms settings. The Active BMS address is 2. Here is a link to some tutorials that should help. It gets set on the "Firmware" p...
My Abms has been working flawlessly but I got a new router and needed to reset the WiFi so I pressed the reset button on the rec WiFi for 20 seconds and now I can't see the abms. The ABMS green le...
After a lengthy process and a few hiccups we have changed the house bank batteries on our boat to Lithium Batteries. (2 x 12V 330Ah Victron Lithium in parallel) with alternator charging through an ...
Did anyone get anywhere with this? Latest I've seen is REC ABMS to Cerbo BMS-Can port. WS500 to Cerbo Ve.Can port. I'm running an older Cerbo GX (not MK2) on 3.5.0 with a WS500PRO on 2.6.0....
@Bill C. First of all, thank you for sharing your project!I have the REC ABMS 4S as yours and I want to add the Bluesea bi-stable contactor ML-RBS 7700 driven by the ABMS Main internal relay, as yo...
FWIW, the later revision of the wiring diagram document, "REC-Series-Master-2Q-Slaves-Wiring-1-0-1-6.pdf" still has the pin numbering error on page 4 at the DB9 connector. Again, pin 6 is at the b...
@Bo I leave the USB cable connected starting the engine without any problem. The engine start is a separate battery from the House AGM and the Storage LFP banks. Bill
@Bill I am going to do the same. Do you have anything connected to the cable when you start up the engine or do you unplug it?
Hey Lure, if you could share a bit of your code or a github link to help others get started, that would be awesome!!
Nice, JSON interface for http://x.x.x.x/cell and http://x.x.x.x/get_data are really useful for quickly inspecting configuration and status.
Guys, thanks for all of the help. I have been moving my settings to match the recommended values from this thread. I have one question regarding float voltages. While away from my boat, I ha...
I have send the updat to Rick, so he will forward it to you, there is no attacment ikon here.
@tine Here is the serial number on my Master box: 9-M-1067. This is a system with two slaves, to be used with an SMA Sunny Island 6048-US-10 inverter (this inverter is a master with 3 slave...
12 + 11 What is the Master BMS serial? I have to send you the dedicated firmware update.
@Bill Haven't sent the file to AI yet. My plan was to test the latest firmware from REC and Wakespeed to see if it solved any problems. If you send data, it would be nice if you could share your fi...
Was the data file sent over to Al at Wakespeed. I'm have similar issues.
@Trond I have same set up except I am a REC Q BMS. Two shunts. The one on th3 battery is a VE Smart Shunr on the battery negative and a dumb shunt on the positive Alt wire. Has anyone found a...
I'm in the process of working on this same wiring for one 9M master and two 2Q slaves. While I did purchase the necessary cables, I still will need to insert the wire terminals into the 14-p...
@tine My new system has 23 cells (LTO) at ~2.3V per cell. I've received my new system (9-M master + two 2Q slaves), and am wondering what is the best way to divide the cells among the two ...
@tine In my system the distance from the plane where I'd like to run the BMS cell wires, to the surface of the inter-cell bus bar, is about 45mm. Is that close enough to cause an EMI problem? The i...
@Bill I am hoping it will be first quarter 2025.
Ok thanks, IOS user so will need to revert to the batch file.
@Rick " You also have a large hysteris but that will only allow it to work under large imbalance condtions." Because of the need to use 4/0 wires on cell #6 to allow me to "fold" the batteries to ...
The power line that continues from sub-pack to sub-pack from batt- to bat+
@tine Thank you tine; that is good to know. When you say "power line", do you refer to any nearby 120/240-volt AC line? Or do you refer to any nearby high-current DC power cable? Also thank you f...
Do not worry. We stop balancing for measurement. Keep the wires 90° to the power line so you minimize the EMI. Keep the loops as small as possible. @ Rick I just finnished writing the code for ...
@tine Rick had mentioned that the cell wires should be equal length. I plan to use 18 AWG wire (0.8 mm2), which is 21 milliohms per foot. If I don't try to make the wires equal length, th...
Thanks Rick. HTTP calls will work great for me.
@Rick this is indeed good news. Any idea on the timing?
Peter, I will answer your tech questions here 1) WiFi values can be read using HTTP get calls. There is another thread on this forum with info and others who are doing it. You wi...
With all of the recent changes to the WS500 firmware we have decided to sunset this product development. We suggest you use the android tool available from Wakespeed for firmware updates.&nbs...
This is what we got back, which is encouraging and keep in mind that the Master uses firmware that is keyed to the serial #, and has to be requested from engineering. WCIB does not work on Ma...
Sorry, 35€ is more like US$38, not $37.
@tine Thank you for your fast and detailed reply! May I ask what is the "RC" component? "C" as in capacitance? Based on your advice, I will disable the Neey balancer and only use it i...
Well we can write the code for 2 Serial Slaves for SMA SI. We have it for Victron already. I strongly advise not to use Neey BMS in conjunction with REC. This is why: it introduces measuring err...
I have the configuration tool version 1.2.2 and when I try to update the firmware from 2.5 to 2.6 the program just closes down and the update file is not sent to the wakespeed. Is version 1.2...
