Anyone have luck getting OrionJr2 BMS talking with Sol-Ark over CANBUS?
It has taken me a year since the cells were delivered for me to get everything together but I am finally in the last stages of building a 32 cell 48V battery and Sol-Ark's website listed the Orion BMS on their site as one they support communication (although they qualified it by saying it was untested).
I bought an OrionJr2 and wired it up and its working great but I would like to get the communication going. I searched Sol-Ark's battery comms document but did not find anything either. It appears there are many options for battery types, 00, 01, 02 etc in the Sol-Ark menu and I haven't a clue where to start on either end of this CANBUS network. Orion JR 2 Control Utility software has pre-made CANBUS profiles you can choose from. I reached out to both Sol-Ark and Ewert Energy and will update this thread.
I am sorry if this has been covered somewhere but I searched for a while before posting.
Appreciate the help and hope this thread may be able to help someone in the same boat someday.
