Hi @Ben How do you wire the TBS with "control with one wire" to the REC ABMS? Br Sturla
Right now they all look really good. The sun is down so they're not charging, and my low pack from earlier is now my highest. Right now 3.33 highest/3.31 lowest.&n...
Thats likely your issue. The BMS can bring a slightly imbalanced pack back into balance but for a badly out balance system the best solution is a good static balance but if that is impractica...
I did not static balance. Thats actually the first time I've heard of it. I have a Color Control GX with the DVCC settings turned on if that answers that question. And, I thought it ...
Your battery parameters all look good. It sounds like it may be a cell imbalance issue. Did you static balance your pack before you built your pack? Do you have a "Smart" chargi...
I think I need some help with my charge settings. I have one cell pack thats going over voltage cell/s is above the maximum set threshold and the BMS keeps kicking on and off, and a cell volta...
MAXC and MAXD are fixed settings as MAX charging/discharging current per inverter/charger device. Not the CAN data sent to the inverter that is actually calculated from SISN, MAXC/MAXD, temperature...
@tine I've also found another bug. Max charge current and discharge current are not updating dynamically. {"type":"settings","cmin":2.5,"cmax":3.75,"tmax":55,"bvol":3.55,"bm...
Guys, I have finally found some time to create a REC Tech tool and and am roughing in an Android/Mac/Windows/Web app I hope to release later this year. Still Lots of work to do but here are ...
@tine I've been running the new WiFi firmware for a few days now and the websockets feature is working great. I have noticed what might be a bug. I'm having issues unlocking the BMS now wit...
We will try to add few more CAN messages to GX to support cell volages on Ekrano or Cerbo.
Thanks for sharing your work. This looks awesome and will be helpful to others looking to do something similar. Signal K and Node Red are great tools for super users! It's posts like t...
This will work with the Active BMS current release as well. Victron and REC are both continuing to enhance CAN functionality and there will be more updates over the next couple of years as th...
When will this available for the Active BMS? The last firmware update I see is from late last year.
@tine I had some trouble with that firmware this morning but I've resolved it by manually adding the .bin files to the SD card and the websockets addition is working great! I think this satif...
WiFi websocket with the newest Firmware on our web page: Websocket ws://192.168.1.184/ws WiFi sends every second 2 messages, settings and status Case ABMS: ...
@tine @Rick I sent an email but the basics are I was able to get the eprom and bootloader flashed but I cannot get firmware 2.9.4 to work at all and 2.9.3 seems to work but I cannot unlock ...
We will try to enable websocket stream, but the problem is that we have Master-Slave systems with 100+ cells. We will test it and let you know if it works normally.
Alright, update for anyone who is interested in this topic. After discovering that the WiFI module does indeed rednder data from the http://wifi_url/ws path (raw data not websocket) I was able to s...
@tine Looking into it further I do see you are already providing some values via RAW data stream on the WiFi. Located at http://wifi_url/ws Can we get this turned into a proper websockets ...
I will write to Mr. Vader -Victron CEO, if we can incorporate something like this. I will let you know their response.
In VRM the widget I reviewed the most, is min/max cell voltage. Which means, I agree that monitoring cell voltage is very useful, to see how a system behave. What is missing in VRM to monit...
@tine I am opening this topic, because a client requested cell voltage data on the CAN bus for Victron. Since this is not supported in the original Victron GX protocol, NodeRED shou...
I was the customer that requested this feature be enabled and @Ben it's not something that anyone "needs" but is a "feature" that some would benefit from. There are several use cases mo...
I have the feeling that most of my customers don't need to see all cell voltages. What the Cerbo shows at the moment is the lowest and highest cell. This is for me good enough. I put alarm on hi...
I am opening this topic, because a client requested cell voltage data on the CAN bus for Victron. Since this is not supported in the original Victron GX protocol, NodeRED should be used and a...
Hello All, What charging precedence strategy are you using with your REC-BMS-controlled-Victron-Energy-LiFePO4 marine battery system? I have Multiplus-IIs, Wakespeed WS-500, MPPT solar char...
I send o-firstime a private message for his email so I can share the chip upload files and schematics
@Rick Awesome and thank you! Hoping @tine gets back soon and we can figure out how to repair my soon to be "spare" and I can get it sorted without having to send it back. Thanks agai...
We bumped up your shipping to 2 day UPS on the backup air and it went out today :)
@tine Looks like the update overwited the bootloader code when turned off somehow. If you connect the WiFi or PC user interface and select firmware update and reset the BMS it does not start ...
Not handy, but Amazon should be able to get him one quickly. From what I recall it will look something like this. I think this customer is pretty technical too and should be able to re-...

@Rick Did you contact him about this issue? I have not, just wanted to make sure.
That would be a great idea. Very nice HMI.
Let's wait to hear back from Tine at REC to see if can help before we do a warranty claim. If not, we will get you sorted next week.
@W Any chance you could give a more detailed explination of what Tine had you do? Maybe copy and paste the emails from him here? Would be helpful for others.
So I was actually talking via email to Tine Andrejasic from the parent company about this very topic. The best way would be for REC to include the values we need in the data sent to VenusOS and hav...
@Stefano Greetings all. I am configuring and integrating a LiFePo4 stans alone 3P4S 12V (942 Ah) with REC Active MBS w/wifi and precharge in my current system which I describe at the bottom...
