Common Problems in Battery Communication with Inverter
Description
There are many problems when we set the Battery Communication with Inverter,let’s see what is the common problems for it and how to solve it.
1.Communication connection fault
1.1 Fault phenomenon
Inveter can’t show the battery status,lile voltage,current,SOC etc,it shows com error,and battery can not be controlled by inverter.
1.2 Possible reason
Communication Cable damaged,loose connections,interface oxidation,communication module malfunction,etc.
1.3 Solutions
Firstly,check whether the communication line is damaged or broken,and if so,replace the line;next,check if each connection point is secure,re plug and unplug the communication interface to ensure a tight connection;for the issue of interface oxidation,you can use an alcohol swab to wipe the interface and remove the oxide;if you suspect a communication module malfunction,you can try replacing the communication module and configuring and debugging it accordingly.
2.Data transmission error
2.1 Fault phenomenon
The battery data received by the inverter (such as SOC,voltage,etc.) does not match the actual value,or there are abnormal situations such as garbled or jumping in the data.
2.2 Possible reason
Communication protocol mismatch,interference leading to data transmission errors,abnormal verification algorithms,etc.
2.3 Solutions
Confirm whether the communication protocol between the inverter and the battery management system (BMS) is consistent,if not,protocol adaptation or upgrade is required;check whether the communication line is subjected to strong electromagnetic interference,and reduce interference by using shielded wires,adding shielding layers, or adjusting the layout of the line;check if the data verification algorithm is correct,and if necessary,reset the verification parameters to ensure the accuracy of data transmission.
3.Unstable communication speed
3.1 Fault phenomenon
The data transmission is sometimes fast and sometimes slow,and there may even be situations where there is no data transmission for a long time,which affects the real-time performance and stability of the system.
3.2 Possible reason
Long communication lines,poor line quality,unstable communication equipment performance,etc
3.3 Solutions
Try to shorten the length of communication lines as much as possible to avoid signal attenuation caused by excessively long lines;replace communication cables with better quality to ensure that the electrical performance of the circuit meets the requirements;check the working status of communication devices (such as modems, routers, etc.),and if necessary,replace them with devices with more stable performance;adjust the communication speed settings and select the appropriate speed to adapt to the line conditions.
4.Address conflict
4.1 Fault phenomenon
When multiple batteries or other devices in the system communicate with the inverter through the same communication bus,address conflicts may occur,causing the inverter to be unable to accurately identify and communicate with specific devices.
4.2 Possible reason
The default address setting of the battery is the same,or an error occurred during the setting process.
4.3 Solutions
Check the address settings of each device to ensure that each device has a unique address,for devices with the same default address,modify the address of one or more devices through the device’s configuration software or hardware settings switch to avoid conflicts,after modifying the address,restart the device and check if communication has been restored to normal.
5.Software compatibility issues
5.1 Fault phenomenon
The control software of the inverter or the software version of the battery BMS is incompatible with the communication protocol,resulting in communication abnormalities.
5.2 Possible reason
Failure to adapt in a timely manner after software upgrade,or compatibility issues between device software from different manufacturers.
5.3 Solutions
Contact the device manufacturer to confirm if there are compatibility issues with the current software version and obtain the corresponding software updates or patches,before updating the software,back up the system’s configuration data to avoid loss,after updating the software,follow the manufacturer’s instructions for configuration and debugging to ensure normal communication.
