Dear friends… i am using a deye hybrid inverter 8kw on 12 solar panels od 545w each and i am using a lithium battery youthpower 4 racks each 5.1kw 48 volts…. After describing the system i need link my battery to the inverter is it better using can port or RS458S and what differ each others and should i set equalizer or battery bms do the equalizer itself
Thx for your reply in advance
 
As per the user manual of your battery :


You would need a custom RJ45 cable. 2 options :

* RS485 :
- inverter side : pins 7 & 8
- battery side : pins 2 & 1

Means pin 7 is connected to pin 2 & pin 8 is connected to pin 1. Cable end with pins 7&8 is connected on the RS485 port of the inverter, end with pins 2&1 to the battery

* CAN :
- inverter side : pins 4 & 5
- battery side : pins 13 & 12
(Well ... They consider both ports as 1 interface. Only 8 pins on RJ45 which makes pins 5 & 4 then ...)

Same principle as above but use the CAN ports. Obviously ?

CAN communication would be easier as protocols are set automatically.

If using RS485 you will need to ask the right protocol to use to Youth Power or Deye (well, chance Deye won't know, they can't know the BMS & protocol of all Chinese assemblers ...) or try all of the 16 individually ...

Equalization does not apply to Lifepo4. Only float (53.5v) & absorbtion (54v) but they will be set by the BMS once you set the communication

I check the manual there s nothing about pins anw i linked into can but by hard searching i found protocol of can 00 and for ra485 is 12 right? What is that any explanation and i am asking what s the diff between rs485 and can

See RS485 & CAN ports pins assignments page 11 of the battery manual + Appendix I of the deye manual for pins assignments on the inverter ...

Glad you found the right protocol settings but you need the correct pins on the RJ45 cable on both side ?

As per the differences between RS485 & CAN :


For this application : same same but different. You can use whatever you want ...

i guess no need for pin stuff just link into cannor rs485 bcz inside the battery box has 2 cables one for can one for rs485 and it mentioned on one side for inverter one side for battery
 
You do need the correct pins assigned : if inverter expects RS485A signal on pin 8 but you send it on pin 1, it will obviously not work.

If pins assignments didn't matter, manufacturers wouldn't bother telling you which pin does what ...

The only difference between CAN & RS485 on the Deye is you have detailed info for each rack displayed when using RS485. When using CAN, inverter only display the info for the whole battery connected ...
