Confirmed spf5000tl-hmv-p HELP HELP HELP

Has anyone actually managed to get the Growatt spf5000tl-hmv-p 2 x 5KWH in parallel working with the Pylontech UP5000 batteries (battery FW is on version 2.8?) I've tried everything mentioned on the forum.If I select LI02 it just shows that the batteries are at 100% even though they are not at 100% and it doesn't switch over to Eskom. If I select LI04 it just beeps and flips between error 04 and error 20 and eventually switches off because it can't read the batteries. I know for a fact that the batteries are at about 40% but it only shows 100% and then it will display a 04 error and then flip to 20 then back to 04 then back to 20.
Any tips or any ideas? Also tried different cat 5 cables with and without GND. I've tried the dip switches on 1000 and 0001

The inverter only has the ports as per the pictures below. So no can port. 

I don's how some people have managed to get theirs to work.

    NOTE TO ALL We have now established that BOTH of the firmware updates that were provided to me by Growatt in China ARE required to get the BMS comms working correctly between the Growatt SPF5000

  • I think some of it has to do with the canbus communications with the battery. In later discussions, it seems these Growatt inverters work fine with the same  battery, as long as you set the settings i

I only have 1x UP5000 but as long as your dipswitches are correct between the 3 batteries so they can communicate and all are on the same firmware or at least the master is on a newer\latest all should be fine. That being said let's see if we can't fix your error 04, 20.

What I suggest is that you test firstly with only 1 battery and 1 inverter at a time. I don't know how feasible that would be for you but eliminating half the system would make it much easier to locate the problem in my opinion...

*Take pictures and not down all inverter settings before you start*

Power everything down - I'm assuming you know the correct sequence here. Break the parallel connection and power on only the 1 inverter connected to only 1 battery you going to be working with. 
Reset the inverter you going to be working on to factory-
Reset inverter to factory - Press UP+Down together (Display will change to code 00) Press enter and adjust to 305 (up 3 enter, up 5) Press enter twice and wait for long beep and unit will spin up.

Power down the inverter. Once dead switch off the battery - use the RED switch followed by the main switch of the battery.


Confirm you using the following cable?!
Inverter Side
Pin 1 White\Orange
Pin 2 Orange
Pin 3 White\Green

Battery Side
Pin 6 - GND White\Green
Pin 7 - RS485A Orange
Pin 8 - RS485B White\Orange

Connect the comms cable-
Connect cable on battery side to the port labeled - B/RS485
Connect cable on inverter side to the port labeled - BMS port
On the Battery set your Baud rate to 9600. Dipswitches 1 0 0 0 (1-ON 2-OFF 3-OFF 4-OFF) - single battery.

Power on the battery (main switch and then press the red button) followed by the inverter and wait for the inverter to give power out -  confirming it's fully booted. With nothing connect the only load it should show is the 10-15watts its consuming itself. 

Now go to setting 5 and select battery type = Li. Then select profile L04. Once set and you exit out to the main menu the inverter should error 04,20 and start beeping for 5-15sec max in my experience before establishing comms with the battery at which point the beeping will stop and the error led will switch off.
Comms are up - browse through the inverters menu and confirm it can display the battery % now.

If the above fails it means comms could not be established so now we'll do it from a fresh start.

*I have had it here where the inverter kept on beeping and finally switched itself off.... in that case switch the inverter switch off and the battery - press the red button and then switch it. Wait 10 secs and power on the battery by pressing the main switch, then the red switch and finally power on the inverter.

Comms should now be established - if it keeps on beeping leave it and give it time to start communicating. If the inverter switches itself off again restarts as per above *. Once the inverter is up and beeping check your setting 05 again. If everything appears fine change back to USE and then back to 05 - 04.

If you still can't get comms up try with one of the other batteries - remember to set the dips switches and start from *. You HAVE to be able to get comms with the inverter and one of the 3 batteries, to be honest here. Your firmware is correct so as long as your comms cable is correct and everything is connected correctly it MUST work.

Once you have comms up between the inverter and one of the batteries. Power down everything and add the 2nd battery - set dips switches. Power on and check, If stable power down and bring the 3rd in and test again.

You might run into an issue were the batteries fail once the 2nd or 3rd battery is added in, swap the batteries around so a different one plays master... Once you have a stable inverter with comms up with the 3 batteries start again following the same sequence with the other inverter - if all goes well you should end up with both inverters separately being able to communicate with the 3 batteries...OR you have identified an inverter or a battery that doesn't want to play nice with everyone else which you can then shoot separately.

But hopefully, both inverters work fine separately with the stack batteries so you know all is well now. Power everything off, connect the parallel connection. Restart both inverters - set the needed settings so the system comes up in parallel with comms up with the batteries. Now switch on your pannels, then Eskom and finally your load.

Morning 

 

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond and providing such a comprehensive set of instructions. It is really appreciated. 
just a question around the firmware. Is there only 1 firmware file for the  spf5000tl-hmv-p inverter or is there 2 firmware files that need to be applied? The guy who came out only applied 1 firmware file and earlier in this post @SiliconKid mentioned 2 firmware files however I'm not sure if that is for the ES? 
if so where would i get the 2nd firmware file from?

Wow, ok so its normal for it to initially error on 04/20 when setting this up? Would be great if Growatt actually also knew this and confirmed as normal. Thanks for this. Have you had any disconnects/comms issues after running this for some time? How long have you been running it like this?

My interaction with Growatt support that I worked with a few months back left me with the distinct impression that they don't keep proper track of firmware releases and ONLY update when they are 100% certain that your issue matches a  specific firmware or another update.

*Rant*
For example, I currently have a TL were the display is corrupted after applying an update for the negative value issue some inverters have. ONLY to be told afterward well... sorry but we could have manually cleared the faulty logged data and this inverter is out of warranty so you have to pay now to have the display replaced. Wait you TOLD me on WhatsApp to go ahead and now that it failed you're saying it's not really recommended?! 

The inverter is still unusable and they stopped responding to my whatsapps...
*Rant ends*

The 2nd firmware is for the coms board itself. 13. SPF 5000TL HVM COM BOARD( Please Note That It Is Just For Com Board That Has CAN And 485 Function )

Download link

Remember that after the update is done too power cycle the inverter and once back up to factory reset it so the new firmware values\settings are loaded and then reconfigure the inverter.

Apparently, this is normal since the inverter wants to communicate immediately with the battery but the battery BMS might be slow to respond\wake up - the BMS might have gone to sleep if it wasn't being used previously. So doing a full restart (especially by switching off the battery "main switch" and back on to wake up the BMS circuitry) fixes the comms.

I discovered the above "fix" on a site's technician's notes for comms issues the person has dealt with previously aka experience 😎

"Thanks for this. Have you had any disconnects/comms issues after running this for some time? How long have you been running it like this?"

Twice-
Once where the comms cable RJ45 wasn't seated properly on the battery side and pulled out slightly thus randomly losing comms 😡. The Rj45 clips was slightly broken...new RJ45 fixed that.

The 2nd time was my fault - updated from 500.07 to 500.12 checked everything was fine and left. Got a 😡 wife calling me at 10:20 4 days later when I was of course an hour and 40min away that the power was tripping none stop even after the load was completely switched off. Got there just to realize that 1 - I never restarted the inverter after the firmware update so after it tripped it lost all the settings. 2 - Even after setting the settings and restarting the inverter it would lose them again. Factory reset the inverter, configured it, restarted, and its been solid since...so we learn 😒

Been solid now since March 7th.

I've helped a few people now with comms issues and once the right cable (pinouts) is used in the right ports and the right settings are in none have had any issues. touchwood

thanks again. I tried everything that you said and I'm still not able to get it to work. I reverted to 1 battery, tried with both inverters and no luck. I guess will have to accept that I'm stuck with voltages and can't get the percentages to work. 
Seems as if i don't have the one with the can and rs485 port. I only have 2 ports, one port labelled BMS and one port labelled RS485 nothing called CAN port.

 Hello,

I'm exactly in the same configuration than this user :

 

 

I bought my first Growatt inverter on 05/2021.
My actual configuration with the first Inverter is : 
  • 1 x Inverter Growatt 5kW 48V - MPPT 100A - SPF5000-ES
  • 10 x Solar PV 400W Mono - Vertex S - TrinaSolar
  • 4 x battery Lithium 2.4kWh - US2000C - Pylontech 48V - 50Ha 
The system work and battery communicate with the inverter using CAN/RJ45. My battery program selected in the inverter is : Li program 05-36-L52. All Pylontech battery have DIP Switch in 0000.
 
Since a frog was entering into the inverter last year, I decided to buy a new one as a spare this year and i recently received the package.
 
I saw that there is a little difference between both inverters located on the communication board. 
 
OLD Inverter : 
spacer.png
 
spacer.png
 
 
 
New Inverter : 
spacer.png
 
spacer.png
 
 
Board communication are differents.
 
My problem is when i'm changing the inverter, the new one won't communicate to the battery and indicates ERROR 20 / 4 alternatively and finishes to shutdown.
 
 
I have exactly the same configuration and wiring, and I'm configuring the Inverter with the same Battery parameters (Li program 05-36-L52).
but for an unknown reason, the inverter won't communicate to the battery and I was obliged to switch on the old inverter.
 
I rolled back to my first inverter due to the BMS communication problem.
The both are the same inverter model (Growatt SPF 5000 ES). 
The only difference is that the new one has a different communication board. 
 
Test L51, L53 .... nothing change.
 
I'm using the same wire and RJ45 cable (just unplug and replug to the new one).
 
Could you please help me to solve this problem if any of you have already been in the same situation.
 
Best regards to all

Apparently your new inverter does not have a CAN port, so you cannot use the same Li 52 settings but rather Li 02 or 04 with the rs485 port of the Master battery with the dip = 1000.

Hello,

Do you have an Rs485/Can hub for paralleling the communication of the two inverters? if not it is necessary, see the manual.

Best regards 

I don't place the both inverter in parallel.
The new one is just normally a spare. (plug and replace).

The problem if i not mistaken is that RS485 require a specific cable which is not supply with.
Have you been getting experience with RS485 using RJ45 CAN cable ?

I saw someware that CAN/BMS input is same. 

Hello,

indeed it would take a different cable that you can make or get help from a computer specialist, it is a crossover cable that you will need. just two pins are used: pin 1.2 on the inverter side and 7.8 on the battery side but crossed, i.e. pin1->pin8 and pin2->pin7.

Yes exactly what i've seen in the documentation. but about the protocol in the inverter. L01, L02 ... which one is the correct ? is there any documentation about these +50 battery protocal listing ?

 

 

Bad news, no communication between the both...

I created a custom cable by cutting an another RJ45 cable and mapping pin1->pin8 and pin2->pin7.
I tested the cable using a multimeter. I'm 100% sure the it work !

 

Then, 

1) shutdown the battery and update DIP switch of primary to (0001).
2) connected the inverter to the battery using the BMS (INVERTER) / B-RS485 (BATTERY) port with my fresh custom cable.
3) Start the battery and then inverter and update the Program 5 in config


I also test configuration L01, L02, L03, L04.... none of them work.

At this stage, i'm sure the custom cable work.
I'm sure that my battery communicate correctly (i roll back to the older inverter SPF).

My hypotheses are : 
- Maybe the inverter com board is broken. but the inverter is freshly unpackaged. Never used.
- The configuration of the program 5 have change between the old and the news SPF-5000-ES

What could you think about it ?

Take care.

I have a doupt with order of pin 7 & 8 with my cable.

I will make another test.

The dip switch must be 1000 and Li must be 02 for 04. Also you must use the BMS port of the inverter and make sure that the rj45 with pin1,2 is on the inverter side.

Awesome, Fantastic my friend !!!!
Good job ! You are the best !

My problem was the wiring pins schematic of the RJ45 in the SPF 5000 ES manual... Growatt reversed the pin numbers .... but I checked on this thread and I saw the correct wiring.

 

Definitely lack of serious of growatt service .... In the documentation, nothing is clear ! 

You just want to replace it ? you can't !
You have to build another cable, change communication port, change battery DIM, change inverter config !!! 
Same inverter model, same ref ! It's catastrophic ! 

So, for thoses who are in the same configuration as me please follow this method.

My configuration : 

  • 1 x Inverter Growatt 5kW 48V - MPPT 100A - SPF5000-ES
  • 10 x Solar PV 400W Mono - Vertex S - TrinaSolar
  • 4 x battery Lithium 2.4kWh - US2000C - Pylontech 48V - 50Ha 

 

1) find the inverter version depending on the COM board version.
The Old version doesn't have 3 leds.

2) The old inverter version, plug directly the standard RJ45 cable from battery (A/CAN) to the inverter (CAN).
Keep all battery DIM switchs set to 0000.
Select in inverter configuration : 5-LI, then 36-L52

2-bis) if new version COM board, build a new cable using paring 1,2 => 7,8. see previous message in this thread.
then, change DIM switch to 0001.
Plug the new cable for Battery (RS465) into the inverter (BMS) input.

Select in inverter configuration : 5-LI, then 36-L04 or L02.

 

One last thing, I can't understand which one is the best protocol for communication between L02 or L04.
Does anyone have any experience of feedback with it ?

I opened a ticket support with Growatt since 5 days without getting any response ! I will let them back to me and I will post their responses. I have..... I am practically sure that they will fail to help me.
Thanks for everything.

 

don't hesitate to contact me if needed.

Thank you very much, the Manuel wasn't very helpful to me. I didn't understand how to connect the growatt 3000w to the pylontech 5000, so I tried your method. And a successful connection right away!

The growatt is by the way very noisy. The fans are the cause of it.

Hello, I'd be also interested in the firmware updates, I'll probably need it 

I have a system set up at home that worked from day one no problems (Growatt inverter 5000ES with 3 plyontech batteries 3000c each )

Now I am trying to set up my uncle's the exact same way as ours but it doesn't supply energy to the house( bear in mind I bought everything the same as ours). I tried different settings on the inverter putting Li on 5 and when directed 36 I put 52 as ours. It doesn't show any error sign everything seems to be fine except that no energy is supplied to the house. And when I check the menu on 2 the charging Amper shows 0, and it doesn't allow it to change. 

Then I tried as per other examples on YouTube to set Li on 5 and at 36 to put 01. Now with that I get error 4 and 20.

I'll try these settings you provided here. And if it doesn't work the next step would be to do the update.

Thank you and hope it will work.

 

I'll try first to adjust the cable and settings and if it's not working will do the next step.
