Firmware and Monitoring (LYNK II)

The AES Cabinet uses the LYNK II Communication Gateway for real-time battery monitoring, firmware updates, and seamless closed-loop communication with compatible hybrid inverters. The LYNK II is critical for system visibility, remote diagnostics, and maintaining optimal battery performance.

LYNK II FUNCTIONS

• Battery-to-Inverter Communication
  Enables closed-loop CANbus control with supported inverters (e.g., Sol-Ark 60K-3P), allowing dynamic adjustment of charge/discharge rates, voltage limits, and SOC reporting.

• System Monitoring
  Collects and transmits system data, including voltage, current, SOC, pack temperatures, alarms, and operational status.

• LYNK Access Software
  Local PC interface for system diagnostics, configuration, and live data viewing via USB mini cable.

• LYNK Cloud (Optional and Free)
  Provides secure, remote access to real-time system performance, fault logs, and firmware status through a web dashboard over ethernet connection.

Firmware Updates

• Firmware updates for the LYNK II Gateway are managed via the LYNK Access software.

• Always ensure the system is in a safe state (idle, not charging or discharging) before beginning any firmware update.

• Follow the firmware update instructions provided by Discover Energy Systems, your authorized installer or service provider.

• Use the correct firmware version corresponding to your cabinet model and inverter configuration.

• After updates, verify communication and system alarms are cleared and, if enabled, that the cloud interface is reconnected.

Data Access and Troubleshooting

Use LYNK Access to:

• Check inverter-BMS communication status.

• Monitor system voltage, current, SOC, energy throughput and pack temperature.

• View system warnings, faults, and historical logs.

• Confirm the firmware version of LYNK II.

• Make sure you have the latest LYNK ACCESS version on your computer. Download from here: https://discoverenergysys.com/s4x_files/resources/lynk-access-setup.

If using LYNK Cloud:

• Log in at https://mylynkcloud.com/login

• Use the secure credentials provided during commissioning.

• Access cabinet dashboards, alerts, firmware reports, and event history.

Responsibility and Support

• Regular monitoring of the system is the responsibility of the system owner or operator.

• Firmware management should only be performed under the direction of a Qualified Service Operator or Discover Energy Systems support.
