I have a Deye 6kW off-grid inverter and a Pylontech US3000C battery, and I’m struggling to get communication between the two.

According to the manuals:

Pylontech

Pin 4 = CAN-H
Pin 5 = CAN-L
Pin 6 = CAN-GND

Deye

Pin 4 = CAN-H
Pin 5 = CAN-L
Pin 6 = BMS-GND / RS485-GND

So, on paper, the pinouts appear to be compatible.

I bought the Greenrich/Pylontech-to-Sunsynk (Deye) CAN cable from GeeWiz, but that cable only uses pins 4 and 5 (CAN-H and CAN-L) and does not include a ground connection on pin 6.

Because of that, I made my own cable that also includes pin 6 for ground, but the Deye and Pylontech battery still do not communicate.

On the Deye:
Battery type is set to Lithium
Lithium mode is set to 0

Has anyone successfully used a Deye off-grid inverter with a US3000C over CAN? If so, are there any additional settings or cable requirements I may be missing?
 
Well, I just googled and here is a descriptive article on it. Hopefully, that helps you. Deye and Plyontech are popular. There will definitely be something online.
