Arco says "victron follow" needs to be anabled for DVCC to work. But I found that this only works when you have an Victron Lynx Smart NG BMS in the system. So in my opinion its not tr...

"Does it follow DVCC now as well?" No, I have not got DVCC to work, not sure why. Perhaps it needs to be set to "Victron follow". but that only works if you have an Lynx Smart BMS NG as well...

WS500-PRO / REC Active BMS - "OUTPUT" not displaying on Victron Cerbo GXposted in WS500 User Installation and Programming Questions
Are you using 500 kbps or 250 kbps bitrate? I have found that it needs to be 250 kbps. If you use 500 kbps the WS500 will sync to the REC, but you dont get the data on from WS500 on Cerbo. ...

In sync mode "disabled" it does read the voltage correct. But alternator volt is always 0V, even thought the volt sense is connected. Even unboxed an second Zeus to rule out HW failure.

So basicly the "battery voltage" just freezes and it continues full speed.. there is no stopping it. Disconnected the CAN cable 3 hours ago, still giving out 100% field. Acually if I turn Sync mo...

So far what I have found: NMEA data for Battery, Engine and Charger all neds to be enabled for the Zeus to show up on Cerbo. Disabling this, gives you no data. Just make sure you choose an insta...

WS-500 constantly regulates up and down.posted in WS500 User Installation and Programming Questions
Then I suspect rhe BMS is detecting an imbalanse issue, possibly due to long cables between cells? Monitor the high and low cell voltage from the BMS while charging at full power.

There can be many poles, but its still 3 phases. There is really no "middle" phase. They will all give an pulse you can use for pulse to rpm. You can add an diode in series to it.

Better access while runningposted in WS500 Improvement Suggestions
I have the same setup in my boat. 60% field max at normal drive (about 230A). Then 90% when "I need to charge quick mode" (about 400A). Could probably change it to 40%/90%.
