Hi,
I’ve created a DIY battery with a JKBMS. When I try to connect to the SunSynk inverter it doesn’t communicate. The JKBMS has canbus built in.

Has anybody been able to connect the two? Advice would be great.

SunSynk

Thanks

Hi Pedro.

Nice to see someone using the JK BMS - I had been considering the Seplos myself (which I think should natively speak to the SunSynk/Deye inverter from what I can tell) but that unit feels a bit limited to me at just 150mA passive balancing. The JK unit would certainly be of interest with it's active balance capability.

Unfortunately I don't (yet) have an answer to your question, I haven't really found much at all on the CANbus protocol used by the JK BMS. Theoeretically a CANbus gateway would be easily possible, but native support would be even better (like Seplos option). Do you have any info on the JK? So far I see the alixpress advert just states '⑤:CANBUS interface ( Needs customized)'.

Happy to help with CANbus gatewaying if it does come to that.

Any info you can share may help,
Thanks
Ian
 
Hi Ian,

Yes I have these two canbus protocol documents one from SunSynk one from JK. I can’t understand them ??

Nice one, which exact BMS model did you go for? I'm pretty confused on the available options!

Where are you based?
 
Additionally, if possible, it may be worth asking both companies for a CANDBC file.

Nice, I'm in Leamington Spa, nice to meet someone based in the UK.

This looks like it may be worth a read: https://github.com/syssi/esphome-jk-bms/discussions/114

a CANDBC is a CAN database file, just makes things much easier in CANbus tools than having to make our own from those word documents!

I have asked for the CANDBC file. See if they get back to me. I’ve sent a few emails to JkBms but have never had a reply ?

many people are doing the same mistake. CANBUS is a interface, not a protocol. jkmbs has a specific CAN protocol not supported by sunsynk. So basically they won't communicate.

You will need to design a JKBMS-CAN to PYLON-CAN protocol translator, or a JKBMS-RS485 to PYLON-CAN

All JKBMS has an RS485 interface also.

Some people are working on a pylontech emulation for jkbms (the rs485 version).
here a project that may help you if your BMS has rs485 interface too. https://github.com/maxx-ukoo/jk-bms2pylontech


Or you can build one with an esp32 based board.

Hi,
Thanks, that looks neat. It doesn't really say in the README how to use? Anybody used this? Any help would be appreciated.
 
you may need to contact the author if you are not familiar with building and flashing on STM32 platform.

Jikong ought to develop this themselves.
It is one of the most popular BMS, but suck it could not communicate with inverters.
They even discourage users from paralleling JKs! sheez!
 
i want to share something with you guy, maybe you can help me ?
i bought 2 JK-BMS (B2A8S20P)
at first both worked perfectly, and with no reason one stop working ! :(
here 2 videos, one with the BMS ok and the other one with the bad BMS

JK-BMS - Google Drive

Maybe the device went into shutdown because of very low voltage.
Please do the basic trouble shooting by measuring each and every individual cell's voltage.
Secondly, ensure that you got all wires connected. Stating that "they worked before but now not" is not enough info for us to go by.
Lastly, try powering Jk the old fashion way, and not through buttons. THIS eliminates the possibility of faulty buttons.

IF you can post more info on your JK, like hardware version and the like.
 
You right Burgerking (y), i need to share more information, i created a new thread here with more details :)

JK-BMS B2A8S20P worked for a moment and not anymore

I want to share something with you guy, maybe you can help me ? i bought 2 JK-BMS (B2A8S20P) at first both worked perfectly, and with no reason one stop working ! :( I have 4cells (in serie) each cell is 3,335V the voltage between this 4S string is 13,34V voltage between + 4cells and B- (BMS)...

Hi I am considering using 2 Sunsynk invertes here in the uk........and want to put my own 15kw battery on......... what do I need to look for with the BMS...........the battery case I want to use communicates with Canbus....and it list copmpatability with Growatt,Victron,Pylon,Solis etc....Sunsynk is not listed...is Canbus universal or does it need software written for each manufacturer...

Sunsync is same as deye, compatible with pylon. You can use a canbus seplos bms, if you want bms communication
 
Did anyone get this working? I also have a Sunsynk (Deye) 5.5kW hybrid inverter and a DIY 16S battery with JK BMS
