Installing Lithium batteries with Schneider Equip?
Hello there,
Does CAN communications work with Xanbus?
I
am currently installing three of the linked below batteries in an
existing Schneider system using the XW+ 6848, two MPPT 60-150 charge
controllers, Battery monitor, SCP, COM Box and AGS.
Also, attached the use manual for these batteries.
Thank you for any feedback you may be able to offer.

ligwyd emailed me and I told him that I only use LFP batts that are on the supported list with Schneider. Later when I was not busy I looked at the 10 or so on the list and his is not on it.
Schneider will work with battery companies to get into the Insight gateway/facility/home devices that manage the BMS interface. This is mainly for XW pro which is a different bird than previous XW's. XWP is based on Soc control internally.
The other way is for a person to know canbus or modbus and use the data Schneider open source provides on their website.
All of what I said pertains to closed loop operation. Open loop is just plugging the set-points. You do lose alot of the reasons to use lithium batteries open loop. IMHO.
New firmware this last week. Cheers! Going to the Lounge 😎

About your inquiries:
- The
InsightHome and the Gateway are compatibles with the Conext XW+. It is
not mentioned on the InsightHome Datasheet because the XW+ is a
discontinued product, but as the Gateway, it is compatible.
- The
Combox is not compatible with communication with Lithium batteries. The
RS485 port is to connect other inverters like the TX model
(discontinued product). The battery manufacturer says on their web page
that their batteries can establish communication with our equipment
using CAN. The Combox is not compatible with CAN.
- My
recommendation is to upgrade to an InsightHome. Additionally, I
recommend you to contact the Volthium batteries manufacturer to confirm
which SE equipment is compatible and can establish communication with
their batteries.
Do you want me to contact you with the System Application Engineering department? They will assist you better with presales and design inquiries.|| Midnight Classic 200 | 10, Evergreen 200w in a 160VOC array ||
