Inverters & Protocol supported (Up to 16 Batteries to 1 inverter allowed)
Make sure the inverter supports one of the following protocols:
- CAN: Pylon (Default), Growwatt, Victron, Goodwe, GinLong, Pengcheng, Sofar etc
- 485: Pylon (Default), Sol-Ark/SRNE, Growwatt, Deye, Voltronic, Paceic
Hardware-Ports/Wiring
- Port: BMS Port (CAN & 485 share the same port) as shown below. Refer to inverter’s user manual and locate the battery communication port on the inverter.
DO NOT USE internet cable for the communication between the inverter and the
battery.
Make a cable according to your applications as follows:
- For RS485 Protocol, use the following PINs:
- PIN#1—————–485B
- PIN#2—————–485A
- For CAN Protocol, use the following PINs:
- PIN#4—————–CAN_H
- PIN#5—————–CAN_L
Check the Inverter’s manual and find out the PIN out of RS485 or CAN, and crimp the connectors. Mark one side “INVERTER” and the other side “BATTERY” ONLY 2 wires should be crimped into the RJ45 connectors. Use a multimeter to check and confirm the conductivity of the cable.
Connect Procedures
ONLY USE the RS485/CAN port to connect to the inverter.
If the inverter supports Pylon (CAN or 485), nothing needs to be done on the
battery BMS. If different protocols need to be used, See the PC-Battery
Communications Instructions and update the default protocol in the battery BMS
to the one supported by the inverter.
- Single Battery
- Connect the “INTERTER” side RJ45 to the port of BMS on the inverter
- Connect the “BATTERY” side RJ45 to the port of RS-485/CAN(!!NOT RS485 ports!!)
- DIP: ALL OFF (See Multiple Batteries setup for Multiple Battery Applications)
- Connect the battery and Power ON the inverter, go to the menu that enables BMS communication (Inverter specific), the inverter might beep for warning.
- Choose Pylon (or other protocols) and confirm
- The inverter and the battery should be connected, and the warning beep will stop.
- Multiple batteries (SOC is the average of all batteries) DIP
- Set one of the batteries as the Master battery, which is connected to the inverter using the RJ45 cable made in section 2: DIP 1-4, OFF (Set as MASTER, address 0); DIP 5-8 as the total quantity of the slaves that are connected to the Master. The table is as follows:

Internet cable for router can be used for Master-Slave, Slave-Slave communications. See the diagram as follows:
- Set one of the batteries as the Master battery, which is connected to the inverter using the RJ45 cable made in section 2: DIP 1-4, OFF (Set as MASTER, address 0); DIP 5-8 as the total quantity of the slaves that are connected to the Master. The table is as follows:
Trouble Shooting
- Check the cable conductivity
- Check the correct port is used
- Check the protocol match CAN to CAN, 485 to 485 etc.
- Check the DIP pin settings are correct
- Call customer support 1-888-450-6788
