Were you able to solve the communication issue? I too am facing a similar issue.

JK Inverter Edition has a LOT of issues, including attrocious (non-existent) Tech Support and total disconnection from everyone.
See thread linked below.
diysolarforum.com
Firmware is up to 15.27, New PC-App & Droid App is out too but NOT on their "official" site.
See thread linked below.
JKBMS Inverter Edition Problems/Issues and dealing with JK to get them fixed - (BUY at your Risk/Peril) UPDATED Aug.16
EDIT: AUGUST 16. Today is / was cutoff day for response. None received and no solutions are forthcoming. DO NOT EXPECT Support or Help from JiKong ! There was going to be an additional Thread to NOT BUY or DO SO AT YOUR RISK but this thread will serve as it contains the thread of issues etc...

15.27 has all the UART RS485 protocols including Pylontech

I upgraded my firmware to 15.30. now i can select pylon low voltage (05) as well as 9600pylon (14) . However still cannot establish the connection.
I have connected A, B and GND properly.
Did anyone manage to get pylon and jkbms working?

My inverter supports PACE rs485 and Pylon rs485.
JKBMS PB series with firmware upgraded to 15.30 has following selectable protocols :
When I select PACE 485 , the JKBMS goes into a reboot loop (exactly same as what happens when OP selects wow ) . No wonder they numbered PACE 485 #4
.
When I select Pylon, there is no reboot but no connection establishes. I have experimented with the pins.
I got my inverter tech to speak to Helen as JKBMS to no avail.
Helen confirms that PACE 485 doesn't work . At this point I'm starting to suspect that Pylon also doens't work. It seems to be a hurriedly and poorly implemented update without any testing with inverters.
Hopefully this gets fixed with a future software release.

Why are you not using WOW on both the inverter and JKBMSs. This setting does work, or at least it worked for me... Also for using pylontech I believe it is imperative to have the battery address set at 1 because the inverter holds address 0.
The only issue is that the BMS to inverter needs to go into RS485a which doesn't give visibility for the inverter into other batteries if you want the BMS to actively participate... If you use RS485b (listen) it doesn't work if I remember correctly... It would be great if the inverter could reference all batteries in the pack without a third party interface.

Corresponding to inverter manual - what type of RJ45 (RS485-1 or RS485-2) out you using on yours invertor?
I had a same problem and spend four days to resolve it. My invertor is SRNE HF2430S60-100 and it's have only one RJ45 out on the bottom side. Corresponding to manual it's using for WiFi dongle or for BMS communication ( can be selected by 32-s menu item in inverter settings ).
Also i have JK BMS PB2A16S15P with manually compiled battery for 24v using 8 cells. BMS firmware is 15.29 ( it has two options of pylontech protocol and one option of WOW protocol ).
So i can't get in touch with WOW protocol, becose of my 7,8 pins on inverter -> 7,8 pins on BMS cabel put BMS in dedloop of reboots.
Only one way i can found to make connection without reboots, annoying 58/4 errors etc.. is:
Inverter options [8] -> LO8, [32] -> BMS, [33] -> PYL. Also i used first ( from left side ) RJ45 port to connection with BMS (like you see it on photo)
BMS options -> UART1 Proto No: 014_PYLONTECH_low_voltage
Only this options make me success with my installation.

FYI: I have my JK BMS communicating correctly (apparently!) with my SRNE inverter over RS485 by using the Voltronic protocol on the BMS side and the "VOL" protocol on the inverter side.
My JK BMS model is PB1A16S10P hardware version 15A, firmware version 15.29. My SRNE inverter model is SEI-10K-UP, MCU1 version 8.32, Minor version 0.04, MCU2 version 1.06.
More info:
I too get this infinite restart loop when I use WOW RS485 protocol in both BMS and inverter. Same if I use PACE protocol in both.
If I use the Pylontech protocol (NOT the 9600 one in BMS, "PYL" in inverter), it seems to communicate correctly the most important messages, but the inverter shows a "58" error code (BMS comm. error) and the inverter icon in its LCD turns red, although its Fault LED remains off (non-critical fault).
Just by chance I tried "Voltronic" in BMS and "VOL" in inverter thinking they'd be the same, and it worked without errors: most important messages seem to be communicated and there's NO "58" error code displayed on the inverter's LCD, and its inverter icon is displayed in green color (no errors at all).
Later I checked the inverter's manual, and it says the "VOL" protocol (other SRNE inverters don't have a "VOL" protocol but do have a "UOL" or a "WOL" protocol, which my inverter doesn't have, so maybe the three are the same) is actually "VOL-WEILAN", so I don't know if it's really meant for Voltronic BMS protocol, but since it works without errors and keeping its icon green, I'm using it and not the Pylontech one.

I use POWMR (identical to SRNE) 12kw 3phase with 2 48v 400 Ah JKBMS batteries. I tried to connect over RS458 first using WOW protocol that is available on both, the inverter and JKBMS. But didn't get it to work. what i realized is that the pins in the POWMR/SRNE manual are flipped left to right. so pin one in the manual is actually pin 8 in the JKBMS manual (the one from the homepage).
But i still must be doing something wrong. The only way i got the BMS to work is over CAN, using UZE protocol on the inverter and nr. 1 Deye Low voltage on the JKBMS for the CAN port.
It works.. but just last night my batteries jumped from 47% to 0%, so im not sure if its the best option..

Are you using a standard cat6 cable or did you modify the pins? if so, what pins do you use? i use a similar setup and cant get BMS to work over RS485..
