Victron Integration - feedback

Thats one of the spare once. The D8 and JP1 is missing

Is the TJA chip the correct part/model? There are a number of variants which are similar.

It should be the /3 version.

Here a better picture


I guess iz is the correct chip.

Yes. Few variants. Should have A1057G3 stamped on it. Noticed youve soldered the JP5. I havent. You need to solder the JP1 jumper. This is mine below.

Copy it is a A1057G3
I have not touched JP5 it is standard connectec to 5V.
JP1 is not soldered, as the picture is from a spare board from the same batch.

Can you post a photo of the exact set up you are trying get running?

Just changing the diybms shunt to a victron, as i hvae to bring the motorhome to the garage on monday and the to the MFK (kind of mot in the uk). And there, the system has to work!

Nice tidy set up :slight_smile:

Its always hard fault finding from a distance. Sorry to ask stupid questions . You have ticked the box in the diy bms webpage on intergation. Enable canbus?

Thanks, i am in decent hurry, so not all skills can be use appropriate…

No worries, i am happy that there is somebody with some ideas

Yes, i did check it aswell in the Cerbo.
In the meanwhile, i think the fault must be in the cerbo.

No worries. I take tou dont have this in your remote console?

Hi,

today I tried to get the CAN BUS work with a Multiplus GX 3000.
Tryed out diffrend CAN settings.

Finally this worked:
changed the CAN high Can low cable on the DIYBMS controller vice versa.
In the video steward showed: PIN 8 RJ45 to CAN high, PIN 7 to CAN low.
This did not work on my system.
It works now with: PIN 8 to CAN low. PIN 7 to CAN high.

In the GX under

SETUP->SERVICES->VE.CAN Port->CAN Bus Profil

you have to enable:

CAN BUS BMS 500kb

Others do not work.

I tried all settings until I took a blind shot and switched the cables.

That sounds very interesting… I have to try that again.
I hope i did not kill it when i tried it the other way.

No, don’t worry, you can’t kill CAN transceivers by swapping the H and L cables.

You only have a VE-Can on that device. I am going to switch on both and swap cables.
Even i did it several times, it maybe helps…
How long did it take to recognize the BMS?

Did you use the 120 Ohm dongle on the other port, to terminate the bus?

Yes. One 120 Ohm resistor should be on the controller. THe R6 north of the JP1.
For the GX you have to use one of the dongles which are delivered by the GX devices.
In one RJ45 you plug the cable. In the other the dongle. In the dongle there is a 120 Ohm resistor.

Great, just wanted it confirmed

How long it took the BMS was found? No idea. Not long.
When I tried out the settings I checked the communication.

VE.Can Port->Network Status

There were only sent TX packets first.
After I switched the cables I mentioned now there are also RX packets.
And then I found the BMS in the Remote console.
