CFE5100S - Kodak or Synapse

Featured Replies

Hi 

So I have 2 setups

1: Synapse 7.2M+ (Axpert Max) with 2 x CFE 5100s batteries

2. Kodak 10KW (Axpert Max II) with 2 x CFE 5100s batteries

 

So has anyone managed to get the BMS communication with these inverters ?

I had CFE Tech update the firmware on (1.) - after which the inverter does connect to the battery BMS - but seems to lose connection at some point (Warning 60) and other erratic errors - when setting manual parameters and removing the bms cable - no errors or warnings - and everything works

I have not had them update the second pair's firmware as I see no point at this stage so running manual settings atm.

Anybody has any advice ?

Any News on this configuration? Are you still just using Manual?

Nope - after3 attempts by CFE updating the firmware on the 5100s - BMS communication to inverter is erratic and causes problems - so still on manual settings

I'll keep at it with the Guys from CFE from my side...

I have a stable system in the wild using the LuxPower with the CFE (2 Months now). I also want to use 2x CFE with a Kodak 7.2 Max (Axpert Max) and see what I can find.

Do you know what firmware the Synapse 7.2M+ (Axpert Max) is running?

Has anyone had success yet?

I am looking to connect a CFE5100s to my axpert king mk ii. There's little to no information on how (Using the BMS) though.


I know a firmware update or change may be needed but not sure who to contact for this.

Contact Owen - 27 84 975 5067 from CNBM - he can put you in touch with the Tech people - Setting the batteries to communicate with the inverter is pretty simple though the dip switches as referred to in the manual - the problem is the erractic behaviour thereafter - even after several attempts at modifying the firmware by CFE Technicians
