So I just upgraded firmware, and now I'm stuck at 56a combined, lol. 28a ea inverter.
if you are on lead acid settings, did you specify Ah of your battery ?So I just upgraded firmware, and now I'm stuck at 56a combined, lol. 28a ea inverter.
Have you gotten this to work yet? I can’t seem to get any response using a usb rs485 adapter to read the modbus on the inverter using the pins the SOLARMAN uses.Starting work on decoding the communications between the Solarman stick-logger and the Megarevo. Not going quite as smoothly as I'd hoped, but some pieces are coming together.
I pulled apart the stick-logger and attached the circular adapter connectors to a breadboard and injected a Waveshare RS485 <-> Ethernet connector into the mix. I've tried having a Modbus conversation with the device, per the Goodwe spec mentioned earlier in this thread - but I've obviously got something configured incorrectly. What's giving me a little bit of hope is the fact that in one of the returned bytestreams the inverter serial number appeared.
I've also found the firmware version and 8K as a string.
There are a bunch of attached pictures of the components of the stick-logger + the unit plugging into the inverter once disassembled.
More details to come...
No not charging batt. The energy meter isnt moving. But it showed such a high current. I think i have figured it out. Just need a few days to confirm. One of the CTs was facing the wrong direction.Are you charging batteries?
Maybe the SoC feature only works when communicating with a bms.No not charging batt. The energy meter isnt moving. But it showed such a high current. I think i have figured it out. Just need a few days to confirm. One of the CTs was facing the wrong direction.
The leadacid battery soc issue still remains.
The CTs are the arrow towards the grip. No factory update has been done.Do you have CTs hooked up in correct orientation? Did it do this before firmware upgrade?
It's from the factory. and check the counter and if it is running backwardsDo you have CTs hooked up in correct orientation? Did it do this before firmware upgrade?
Anti Reverse Enabled?Here the CT photo
is reading well. What happens is that the anti-reverse is disabled, however it wants, it sends the current to the counter and the count is in reverse. On the counter physically. I don't get carried away by the graph. Only physically on the counter.Anti Reverse Enabled?
I wonder if your wire is to small for the CT to read correctly?
Never hurts to turn them around and see what happens.
That's really stupid tho, it should be able to calculate this based on the capacity and voltage. The deye inverters whom they desperately tried to copy does this automatically when selecting leadacidMaybe the SoC feature only works when communicating with a bms.

Did you make sure the voltage settings are right on lead acid? You would think it would be based off of voltage like you said in that modeThat's really stupid tho, it should be able to calculate this based on the capacity and voltage.

The CTs are in the inverter. InsideAre your CT going to the panel, or from the grid to the panel?
