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
REC and victron have been working closely over this past year and updates are being released to take advantage of these emerging complementary technologies with more data being shared, more alarmin...
@tom i would hold off for now as 2.9.5 should be available in a month or so. New features include better tip end charging and balancing cells indication on the wifi
@Trevor sending Tine a followup email now
Yes, Change CANF paramter to 250k Set cerbo port as per quickstart manual link above Move to VE.CAN port Wakespeed now goes the VE. CAN port as well and don't forget to change its CAN speed
For the Active BMS you will need to grab an M10 driver and remove the screws on the case and slide out the PCB. The fuses are small black squares, likely with a blob of silicone on them. ...
I mentioned this earlier in this thread but here it is again. The BMS port is only for "read only" type BMS systems that do not fully integrate with Victron VE DVCC and other high level integrated...
@tine Tine, do you have any thoughts on this one please. Rick
The BMS port is only for BMS systems that do not fully integrate with Victron VE DVCC and other high level integrated control.
Ben makes a good point here. The files first gets uploaded to the wifi module SDC card quickly, then slowly to the wifi module. Turning it off mid process will very likely corrupt...
It sounds like your bootloader may have become corrupted. If you are handy and have a USB AVR programmer you may be able to reload it. No guarantees but it might be worth a try. Please emai...
Great! Thanks for the feedback
Trevor, it looks like your install is corrupted. If you remove the M10 screws from the case and slide out the PCB there is a clock backup battery. Not sure if it will help, but you...
Guys, there have been some enhancements to the REC/Victron CANBus connectivity. Check out this thread: https://ogm-energy.com/community/ogm-user-forum/topic/154310/new-rec-bms-an...
Good news! This may help to explain why the BMS was not pulling back the charger output on your Victron and keeping it from tripping. Thanks for the update
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...
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...
