In a marine environment anything is possible with the humid salt laden air. I would remove and inspect the harness and connector pins

Thats great news Michael, pins are crimped on the harness I have here in the office.
I think I have a reasonable explanation for your error. When the Active BMS first powers up it does some tests and one is to drive the active balancer which puts a large load on you cell tap ...
Hey Mike, Thanks, I appreciate that. I havent heard from Tine on this one but I'll reach out to see if I can get to the bottom of it.
Have you ried connecting directly to the slave with the Wifi Module?
ok Mike, with this additional information it changes the equation. An error 10 is usually a serious error on a failed system. When you get back please verify the error code and all cell...
Hey Michael, An error 10 is not good. It usually indicates a short circuit or blown fuses in the BMS. This can be caused by removing a cell tap wire while the harness is connected or a...
Hey Stephano, The way 1Wire networks work is they use the network ID number as the reference so once you thermo cycle them you can sort them by cell #, as the ID number is not usually written on t...
Several years ago I started on someting for the older BMS and asked for some feedback on it but didnt get anything so its still a draft document and a bit outdated but it might help you a bit, but ...
@Matt unfortunately no, I have not had any luck this time either
Good point. Thanks for sharing all of your testing and insight. I have Nick's contact info buried somewhere so I am going to ask him to reply to this post.
This dual baud rate issue explains a lot. I havent had any luck with my contacts at ARCO, but that was a while back. It might be nice if we could get some insight from them. I am ...
It is likely one of two things 1) SD card is full 2) SD card is corrupted. If you remove the 4 screws on the back of the module you will see the SD card. Push down on the clip ...
Thanks Trond, once we get our inhouse test engine working and brckets and pulleys made, I will hopefully be able to share some insight
I think you may not have your Cerbo VE.CAN port set correctly. It needs to be 250k. Check out this thread for help. We sent Arco an Active BMS to test last year so they should hav...
Thanks Trond, this is the 2Q Manual and the CHRG instruction does not apply. Also the Active BMS uses the instruction CANS instead of CANF. This will be updated in f/w update 2.9.5 to s...
Hey Trond, I am still a few weeks away from being able to test but will report back when I can. Remember not to use the black WS500 terminator anywhere as its on the wrong pins. If you ...
@PeterD Thanks for your input on this Peter. Some great troubleshooting tips :) We are in the process of setting up a full Master/Slave test system in our new shop. As part...
Just updated DB9 pin numbers and added a Slave to slave pinout section to the Master Slave Pinouts diagram. Thanks to PeterD for catching it. You can download it here: https://rec-bms-...
and a bit more info from page 68 of the WS500 full manual, release 2.6 Tach Min Field: <WHOLE NUMBER ( 0 à 30 )> This is the % value the PWM will be kept at &n...
I havent had a chance to play with the recent f/w updates but its likely the issue is that you will need to set a minimum output on the alt. to provide enough of a sine wave for your alt to see.&nb...
@o-firstname This looks great! There are many hundreds of marine REC users but we don't have an easy way of adding them to this post. Let me see what I can do. I have a spare...
Hey Ryan, We are setting an inhouse demo using a big marine generator as the test system and are just working on wiring and setup now. This will allow us to try a couple of head to head test...
We have also created a REC 2Q/Cerbo Interface manual. The Active BMS has an update 2.9.5 coming that will standardize commands between the Active BMS and 2Q and in a few weeks and we will upd...
@tom 0.5 is typical but you might want to experiment with setting it to zero. Here is the logic overview for 2.9.4. 2.9.5 may have a few tweaks. Rick Maximum Cell Float Voltage Coeffi...
We just found a potential issue, so it could me a couple of weeks before we can release 2.9.5
We now have 2.9.5 in house and will be doing some final testing and if all goes well we will release it in 1-2 weeks
Ryan, Do you have your Active BMS setup on the VE.CAN port and the port configured in the Cerbo? In the past year Victron and REC have enhanced their interoperability and for DVCC control it now ...
I will check to see with REC to see what the status on the latest release is.
Are you using DVCC control so that it's rhe BMS that's controlling the charger?
Hey Richard, Great update to the info I had thrown together showing to how to bootload the fw, thanks very much! Lets try one last thing. I will send you a copy of the 2.9.5 beta firmware v...
If you contact Al at Wakespeed you may be able to get a copy sent. al@wakespeed.com (Please note this is second hand info from another user)
I have not seen this situation before. @Tine Andrejasic Tine, what do you think of this problem?
Richard, the new firmware may be set to work with 115k RS485 baud rate. Did you try setting the rates on the Firmware page to 115k? REC has added a new RSBR instruction for this. RSBR 1&nbs...
I understand there may be a bug in WS 2.6 with DVCC control but that Al from Wakespeed has a 2.6.1 update coming for it.
You will need to upgrade your cerbo fw and select the proper protocol and speed for the VE.CAN port as well as setting the BMS baud rate to 250k. The info is in the quickstart manual
Glad it powered up again. If you set a value out of range, like setting SOCS to 75 instead of 0.75 you will get this error, but a power reset will set it back to default value. You sa...
There have been quite a few advancements in LFP battery charging since firmware 2.9.3 but REC does not always share the details of the new features
We really need Tines input here. @Tine Andrejasic
