@Rick I did try all three RS485 bitrates for the Wifi module. The re-flashed ABMS never responded. Since I couldn't unlock it, I couldn't load a program to it and issue commands, such a...
@Rick-admin Upgrading the Cerbo from 3.00 to 3.54 seems to have been the key. The ABMS now communicates with the Victron over the VE.CAN port. Thanks for your help. Everyth...
@Rick I've been trying to find the quick start manual you mentioned previously. Sorry for all the hand holding.
The bootstrapped ABMS never established comms with my Wifi unit - so I couldnt proceed further resurrecting that unit. I recieved and installed the replacement unit and wiring harness, which ...
I received the spare parts an installed the new wire loom with no effect. The new BMS worked immediately and communicated with the WiFi unit at the default 56k. The Canbus only function...
@Ben I bought a UEBSP programmer off of Trademe here in NZ. I wish I had bought a two-pack for a few more dollars. Why? Because you need a second programmer to update firmware on ...
Tine, I've verified that only the Firmware page is functional. All other pages on the Wifi interface simply say: "BMS not connected". I tried all 3 RS-485 link speeds on the Wifi ...
As I recall, the home page only displays a large "BMS NOT COMMUNICATING" message. I'm away from my boat for a few hours. I'll verify when I return.
There appears to be no communication between the BMS and WIFI module. On the firmware page I enter my unit serial number (1A-1720) to unlock communications. I get an "incorrect password...
My Wifi module, BMS, and Cerbo are all powered from the battery side of the contactor. They always have power. I will try setting the Wifi module RS485 speed to 56k and 115k. When I attempt...
Rick, you deserve the support admin of the year award for responding from North America at this hour!Thanks, but no luck with 1A-0000. I also tried a whole bunch of 7 character strings: ...
@o-firstname I recently flashed my ABMS and can't proceed to loading firmware from my Wifi module. It seems like the device serial number no longer acts as the password to unlock BMS communic...
@Rick I obtained an AVR programmer here in NZ and it was quick work to load the .hex and .eep files from @tine I've run into a problem unlocking the serial communication between my Wifi modul...
@Ben Read The Fine Manual is always good advice! I re-read the Ver. 2.94 ABMS manual. Regarding setup of the CAN port on the Victron GX device, it states: "Use BMS-Can port w...
@Rick and @Ben thank you very much for the advice on the BMS-CAN versus VE-CAN ports on the Cerbo. I remember agonizing over the choice between the two 3 years ago. Lacking guidance fr...
My system has been working flawlessly for 3 years except for the Wifi module. For some reason, it will only function in Station mode. When I scan for networks, nothing happens. I'...
I just wanted to report back to close out this issue. I was able to flash the latest Wifi module firmware and that fixed the problem.
Bill, I've been living with a similar setup for several years but have no Wakespeed. I've found the Victron, without any "precedence" programming, does the right thing. If solar is put...
Thanks again for your help Rick. I'm just now heading offshore, so I'm reluctant to flash it right now. When I get to broadband Internet again, in a month, I'll report back to you.
Thanks for the quick reply and advice Rick! I got a little bit further.I'm now able to set variables and I receive the "OK" response. I think I wasn't using a leading zero previously.&n...
I've been wanting to verify and adjust several unlisted settings such as RAZL. When I attempt to do so using the dialog box on the Firmware screen, I get no response. Not only that, but...
I've created a Node-Red flow that solves this problem perfectly. It has a dashboard interface to enable/disable the scheme. It also sends an email when the Victron Multiplus mode is aut...
