I have heard mumblings that Skybox uses Sunspec Modbus but I am not entirely sure. Outback tech support is abysmal.
Simpliphi's documentation says this:
It is also possible to communicate with OutBack devices using the Modbus protocol and SunSpec
client software as described in OutBack AXS Port Ownerβs Manual. The SunSpec Interface
menu item enables or disables this type of data stream from the MATE3

Hi @carsonfee,
so you are trying to connect the Skybox to some other (not supported) BMS using the CANBus right?
I would need some CAN specification from Outback or any supported battery manufacturer to create a binding. Unless its speaks a more common specification like the PylonTech CAN specification.
Another way would be to 'listen in' on the communication of a running system (Skybox and supported BMS) and try to reverse engineer the protocol specification. For that you would need a CAN device hooked up on the CAN bus of the system, monitor the communication and protocol the current values (like SOC, current, voltage, etc.).

I have that 2 Channel Can hat for my RPi. Can I just plug in to the inverter and capture the traffic?
The supported batteries are in my top post ^^
The batteries I have are sungold power. I think it uses the same bms as EG4 and jaikiper.
from bms-to-inverter.
Yes, you can connect the 2CH CAN hat to the inverter and use candump
to capture the traffic.
If you can provide CAN or RS485 or ModBus specifications for your inverter or supported batteries it would make life easier. Maybe inquire at the manufacturer (inverter or any supported battery manufacturer) with your exact inverter model and be persistent that you cannot use it without the CAN/RS485/ModBus communication specification.

My batteries use a PACE bms. Sungold power
from bms-to-inverter.
Hi Carson,
can you configure your PACE BMS to use the Pylontech CAN protocol?
I've read somewhere that you can configure it to use it?
from bms-to-inverter.
from bms-to-inverter.
getting somewhere, can bus needed to be set to 500kbps
getting this error, so it looks like they are talking just not the same language.
I have the config set to PYLON_CAN on the Pi and BMS Can bus protocol is set to PYLON on the battery
would a candump help ?
from bms-to-inverter.
candump looks more or less right I think? 35E shows LEOCH as the manufacturer ID. That looks like the frames have correct ids but data is wonky/different from PYLON ?

is the endianess
right? 356 Should be Pack Voltage so 11110010 00010100 is F214 which looks like garbage (-3,564) but 14F2 = 5362 * .01 which would be 53.62 which seems about right
from bms-to-inverter.
ok, cool - that's definitely the Pylon protocol!
Could you do the candump in standard hex format next time please. Binary is a bit of a hassle reading and converting ;)
So for command:
0x351:
Max voltage = 56.4V
Charge limit = 200.0A
Discharge limit = 400.0A
Min voltage = 43.2V
0x355:
SOC: 51%
SOH: 100%
0x356:
Pack voltage: 53.62V
Pack current: 6.8A
Avg Cell Temp: 24.0C
etc.
So that looks all good!
I've added a fix for the SOC and SOH and more logging, so please do a Clean install with the Configurator.
Could you also set the log-level set to debug and provide the log file, then I can see what the application is getting.

Ok, so its the short Pylon protocol version.
What does the application do? It should read values now from the BMS.
Could you please update to the lastest version (Clean install in Configurator) and attach the log file (please with debug log-level set).
from bms-to-inverter.
Hi,
I wrote some tests with the candump data and it is read and processed correctly.
I think the problem you might have lies in the communication between your webserver and the application's MQTT broker.
Could you update your application and send me the BMS-to-Inverter.log and the BMS-to-Inverter_Webserver.log from the installations log folder and if possible a screenshot of your browsers debug console output.
Please start the webserver sepeartely after the application is logging some decent data.
First start the application from your installation folder (in terminal 1):
java -DconfigFile=config/config.properties -Dlog4j2.configurationFile=file:config/log4j2.xml -jar lib/bms-to-inverter-main-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
Then wait until it reads data from the BMS and after that start the webserver (in terminal 2):
java -jar lib/webserver-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar --spring.config.location=file:config/config.properties
from bms-to-inverter.
just running the application it looks like its reading garbage from the can bus.

Pylon protocol is little endian, seems like you're reading big endian but the BMS-to-inverter.log the byte buffer it is displaying is entirely different from what candump outputs

Hi,
I just committed a fix. Could you please do a Clean install and update your installation.
Let's see what we get :)
from bms-to-inverter.
New log. Looks somewhat closer but still not right
from bms-to-inverter.
your change to little endian for the byte buffer looks good but the actual data that's in the buffer is out of order or maybe padded somehow? the first 2 bytes look correct e.g.
CAN read frame Buffer (HEX): [0x55, 0x03, 0x00, 0x00, 0x08, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x1E, 0x00, 0x64, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00]
candump reads right, the values in your buffer are the same but there's all those extra 0 bytes.
355 [8] 1E 00 64 00 00 00 00 00
from bms-to-inverter.
CAN read frame Buffer (HEX): [0x55, 0x03, | 0x00, 0x00, 0x08, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, |0x1E, 0x00, 0x64, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00]
I think the 6 bytes after the ID is the DLC and other parts of the can arbitration field
from bms-to-inverter.
yes, that is just the extended CAN frame 4 byte frame id, length and flags(3 bytes after length), then comes the 8 byte data.
But good point, forgot to skip the next 4 bytes before reading the data.
I fixed it now - this will give the correct values now! :)
from bms-to-inverter.
That fixed it!
now to figure out if the skybox can actually give any useful output from a candump
from bms-to-inverter.
