I'm looking for such a cable, does anybody know where I can get one made up in SA?

If I can just find my RJ11's I can make you one. Ill let you know soon. 

Thank you. I'm stuck in Riyadh and have made one up here, but getting it or me back to SA is going to take months! 

A "quick" temporary fix is to file a normal ethernet plug down to 4 contact pins. Just file it from both sides until it fits😃

I have one in stock, and can ship worldwide

 

 

Thanks , but is the pricing correct, USD vs ZAR?

WOW!  Wonder if you get R2000 off your next Pylontech battery with that!

PUERTO DE CONSOLA  (conector RJ-11) cable de batería pylontech como se muestra a continuación, es para hablar de forma nativa con el BMS de la batería US3000.

Hello dear, I am able to manufacture the cable, I have searched many parts but I have not found a clear scheme, a man from South Africa sold me one, but he sold it as a precious stone.

I manufactured one for myself, thanks to the schematics above. For the moment I have only 8 US3000 batteries, but I will add another 4 plus a LV Hub, so I will end up with 2 separate banks of 6 batteries. I assume that there is no solution to monitor all connected banks with one cable, but each bank itself...so either you just move the cable from bank to another, or you have one cable per bank. Correct?

Hi @cristimv

It's possible to monitor the entire bank via a single cable into the master battery.  I use solar assistant, what stats are you interested in monitoring? Then I can tell you if it's there or not.

With US3000C you can now connect up to 16 units in one stack without LV Hub.

 

Hi,

I have bought this cable (4P4C)

Do you know if it will work?

Where are you located?

Hi,

I use a normal USB-Serial converter. I then made a cable DB9 to RJ11 and used the info in the Pylontech manual to wire. It is working fine on ICC software and Raspberry PI. I just bought a US3000C and the console port is now a RJ45. I just made a new DB9 to RJ45 cable using info in Pylontech manual. That is also working fine. Just remember RS232-TX of the Pylontech goes to RS-232 RX on DB9 and RS232-RX of the Pylontech goes to RS-232 TX on DB9.

 

I bought a cable in 2020 already, thanks...

Hello. How do I wire the RJ45 to DB9 to connect to the battery console inorder to use battery view

Hi guys,

 

I've created a simple version - see below.  Let me know if anyone is interested - supports both RJ-11 and RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 to RJ-11/45 cable supports both the older and newer Pylontech models. 

 

See picture and let me know.  Based on Pretoria.

Where can I get one of these? Can anyone else confirm if it actually works with batteryview and Pylontech US3000

Made this from cable supplied with inverter, cut off the one end and fitted RJ11. Downloaded Batteryview from this Forum.

i'd like to make RJ45 -> USB
I don't have a serial port 

Anyone know the pin connections, which on RJ45 connect to which on USB.

Need to FW update US2000B's and US3000C's

I'd like to make this with a USB on the computer side fanning out to a rj45 and in parallel a rs11 allowing me to connect to my older US2000 and the new US3000C.

have anyone done this ?

Can I straight connect or do I need to use a TTL/RS232 board. In which case which ports of the TTL/RS232 do I connect to which pins on the RS11 and RS45?

G

Buy one of these from Communica. It caters for both RJ11 and RJ45 console port on the Pylontech BATT RS232-USB CABLE KIT PYL - Communica [Part No: BATT RS232-USB CABLE KIT PYL]

Hmm so now I’m sitting with a RS232 port… how I connect that to Pylontech?

Looks like 1/2 of what’s needed?

This is probably a 1 x activity for me, I think I have most of the bits needed, USB cables, rj45, just need to get RJ11’s

prefer to make.

The USB is on the one side and the RS232 the other.  Then the other half of the RS232 either has a RJ11 or a RJ45 at the other end hence the kit coming with both. You have to connect the RS232 male to the RS232 female to complete the cable -> USB - RS232 - RJ11/RJ45. The firmware update would be a once off but at least you can pull the logs from the batteries with the Battery View software at any stage.

i asked as you gave it that this is all i need, looking at the kit it only does usb to rs232, it does not imply (in writing) anywhere that i can see connectivity bits for either RJ45 or RJ11.

if you look at the picture the blue at the top clearly rs232/USB and i'm guessing the black cable is RS232 => RJ** implies I need to buy 2 of these. not happening for a once off fw upgrade.

Haven't pulled logs in 4 yrs... can't see it being important enough to justify R750+
