How to Configure the Battery for Closed-Loop Communication with an Inverter?

September 19,2025

I. Battery-Side Configuration for Closed-Loop Communication

Closed-loop communication configuration typically involves two parts: battery settings and inverter settings.

Using an SRNE inverter paired with a Server Rack battery as an example:

1. Identify the pinout for the communication port on both the inverter and the battery, then select the correct communication cable and connect them.

Complete the battery-side setup by referring to "How to Configure Master-Slave Communication for the Battery".  Then follow the inverter’s user manual to configure the inverter side (example given for SRNE series inverters).

II. Troubleshooting & Tips

Q: Inverter shows “Communication Failed”

A: Incorrect inverter settings, wrong wiring, or protocol/pin mismatch. Please verify the inverter configuration, confirm the battery protocol is correct, check all wiring, and cross-reference the manual for pin compatibility.

Q: Multi-battery communication is unstable

A: Absence of a master/slave hierarchy or wiring crosstalk—ensure DIP-switch addresses are correctly set (one master, multiple slaves), use shielded cables, and route the wiring according to best-practice standards.

Q: Communication intermittently drops or fails

A: Environmental interference or aging/damaged cables. Switch to shielded cables, inspect and tighten any loose or oxidized terminals, and check the cable for physical damage.

Closed-loop communication enhances energy-storage efficiency, safety, and enables intelligent control, remote dispatch, and system-wide coordination. For reliable closed-loop operation, we recommend the user use ECO-WORTHY-approved cables and protocols, keep both battery and inverter firmware up to date and prefer pre-validated brand combinations.
