Hello everyone,
I am impressed by the scope of this forum. So I really hope to find help here. I am not a layman and have installed dozens of island photovoltaic systems. However, always with components from Victron Energy. Meanwhile, I wish I'd never touched that Axpert junk....
I know my problem is unfortunately well known, but I have done and checked everything suggested here and elsewhere. Yet I can't get my Pylontech batteries to communicate with the Axpert.
I will describe the setting and my attempts in detail here:
I have an Axpert 7200-48. Everything is wired correctly. I also have two US3000C. Everything is wired correctly, I think. I have checked the data cable:
Inverter -> Master battery
3 -> 8
5 -> 7
Everything else is unconnected.
DIP: Master battery 1 ON, 2,3&4 OFF
Slave: all OFF
(I have also tried various other settings, restarted the batteries properly each time, no difference)
Batteries recognise each other correctly
On the instructions of my supplier, I have also shut down the system completely several times, disconnected the solar, connected the battery only, restarted, everything is the same.
Programme 5 was of course on PYL, but I also tried LIC.
Everything always remains the same: after 1-3 minutes, 61 appears, the batteries are discharged but not charged, the system switches off at the inverter after 10 minutes.
I even managed to get the WatchTower WLAN to work, but that doesn't help either.
The only thing I haven't been able to do is update the firmware. I have U2 112 14.
The inverter is from 03/22.
So my questions:
1. is there any other source of error that I have overlooked?
2. does only the firmware update help and if so, what should I update to, where can I get it and what is the easiest way?
3. since I changed to USE in programme 5 in my distress, my settings are:
Bulk Charging Voltage: 53.2V
Float Charging Voltage: 51.8V
Low DC cut-off Voltage: 47.8V
Is this correct and/or do I have to change other parameters?
Thank you for the effort and help! Swarm intelligence show what you can do!
Thanks Martin
