ENABLING LYNK II TO COMMUNICATE WITH VICTRON DEVICES

When the LYNK II is in a closed-loop network using the CANopen protocol, LYNK II will transmit real-time parameters from the Discover Lithium battery, including voltage, current, temperature, state of charge, and fault conditions to a Victron Energy device. LYNK II also transmits charge voltage and current requests from the Discover Lithium battery to the Victron device.

LYNK ACCESS software for 64-bit Windows 10 / 11 is required to configure LYNK II settings for closed-loop CAN communication with Victron Energy devices.

If there is a break in communication between the Victron Energy device and the LYNK II, the Victron device stops charging. Charging only resumes after communication between the Victron device and the LYNK II communication gateway is restored. If communication cannot be restored, you may have to set the system to open loop until an installation professional is available.

As a precautionary measure, it is recommended to program the inverter-charger with the correct voltage-based parameters before setting up the system to operate in a closed-loop configuration. If closed-loop communication fails, after the open loop parameters have been configured, turn the Victron device OFF and ON with the On/Off/Charger Only switch to enable the open-loop settings.
