In the use and installation of solar energy storage systems, it is very common for some users to use machines from different brands in parallel. However, how to combine machines from different brands into one system can confuse many users and even professionals. This article will briefly introduce you how to set up the communication between Felicitysolar battery and Deye inverter.
Determine the communication method
There are several communication methods between the lithium battery and the inverter, commonly used are RS485 and CAN. We will first show how to communicate using RS485, and then briefly describe the setup for CAN communication.
ORse the RS485 Demo
Connect the signal cable: according to the PIN label, map RS485A to PIN2 and RS485B to PIN1. Use the enggro tool to compress the pins to ensure the stability of signal transmission.
Connect to inverter and battery.
Set the protocol mode: In the inverter Settings menu, find the Battery Pack Protocol Mode option and select “12” to represent Deye's RS485 communication protocol. Click “OK” to complete the setup.
Verify that communication is Successful
After successful communication, you can view the SOC and other information of the battery pack on the battery page
ORbe the CANDemo
Connect the signal cables: Connect CAN-H to PIN4 and CAN-L to PIN5, and use the coiling tool to compress the pins.
Connect the inverter and battery: Connect the signal line to the communication CAN interface of the inverter and battery.
Set the protocol mode: In the inverter setting menu, select the battery pack protocol mode as "00" to represent the CAN communication protocol of Deye. Click «OK» to complete the setting.
Verify successful communication: Similarly, enter the battery page to check the information to confirm whether the communication is successful.
Attention:
- Before setting up communication, make sure you have carefully read and understood the inverter and battery user manuals to avoid operational errors.
- When connecting the signal line, be sure to ensure that the pins are firmly thickened to avoid interruption or instability in signal transmission.
- When selecting the communication protocol, make sure it matches the protocol supported by the inverter and battery, otherwise communication will not be established.
Through the above steps, you can easily achieve the communication settings between the Felicitysolar battery pack and the Deye inverter.
