Verify WKS EVO CIRCLE compatibility

Hello, Thanks a lot for this great work. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work on my side. Inverter: WKS EVO CIRCLE.

Connections:

ESP32 <-> RS232/TTL 3V3 <-> VCC RX <-> TX TX <-> RX GND <-> GND

Thank you for your help. Mathieu.

Thanks for the issue with all the important details included. Please double check the VCC and GND connection of the RS232 converter. It looks like the power LED isn't on.

Hi Sebastian, Thank you for your help. The power led is blinking, I took another picture when it is on.

However, I checked the voltage, it seems OK (picture below).

I also check the connection on RJ45/serial cable (picture below), but it seems not correct (compared with the documentation). It is a standard cable, I didn’t make any modification. Therefore I built a custom cable with correct mapping.

Standard cable mapping currently used:

The documentation:

This is my new custom cable:

Seems OK compared to the documentation.

I connected this to my WKS and the led of the TTL/RS232 converter doesn’t blink anymore!

I tested again the program:

Mathieu

I will provide some support tomorrow. I need to check your pictures carefully. I assume the LED of your RS232 board is a TX led and no power LED. Could you tell me the name of the converter IC?

Hi, The converter TLL/RS232 is : DollaTek MAX3232 RS232 Serial Port vers TTL Convertisseur Module DB9 Connecteur W / 4 Jump Cables. Link : https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B07DK3874B?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details The ESP32 is : ESP32-WROOM-32U. Link : https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/32959541446.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.839f7d56cT1alZ&gatewayAdapt=glo2fra The invertier is : WKS Evo Circle 5,6 kVA 48V. Link : https://www.wattuneed.com/fr/onduleurs-et-convertisseurs/25678-onduleur-hybride-wks-evo-56kva-48v-0768563819193.html I will perform some more tests tomorrow. Thanks again. Mathieu

First of all: It looks like your RS232 converter has a TX and RX led. The periodic blinking from the beginning was fine because the pipsolar implementation sends requests to the inverter once per update_interval. If you increase/decrease the update_interval of the pipsolar component the blinking interval of the TX LED should change.

Did I understand correctly: The inverter was delivered with a D-SUB to RJ45 data cable which doesn't match with the PIP pinout? Please stick to the data cable of the inverter if the TX LED blinks periodically here.

As soon as the TX led blinks again please connect the TX pin to the RX pin to create a loopback. Both LEDs (RX & TX) should blink now. Does it work? You should see incoming / the loopback traffic now if you have a look at the ESPHome log. If this is working we can proceed.

Hello, Thank you for all these informations. I need some time to check that, I will come back to you as soon as possible (I hope on monday). Have a nice weekend.

Hello,

“Did I understand correctly: The inverter was delivered with a D-SUB to RJ45 data cable which doesn't match with the PIP pinout? Please stick to the data cable of the inverter if the TX LED blinks periodically here.”

--> Sorry I was not clear: I never used the cable provided with the inverter because it is a D-SUB FEMALE to RJ45. I need to add a FEMALE/MALE converter to use it (I can buy one if needed). I bought a D-SUB MALE to RJ45 (the "standard cable" I mention above) and it doesn't match the documentation.

I check the mapping of the cable (D-SUB FEMALE to RJ45) provided with the inverter and it match with the documentation.

Therefore, this point is closed: the cable that I bought is not correct. Now I use my custom cable. It has the same mapping that the cable provided with the inverter.

Thanks for the explanation about the LED of the TTL/RS232 converter. I checked and the LED blink at the same time that the log send data.

Video here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yfs5CwihPt4zCI0fq0S2Bfz4PjS7q9M3/view?usp=sharing

Then, I make the loopback (not connected to the inverter), it works! The 2 LED are blinking :)

I connected it with the inverter, still nothing… only one LED is blinking, and no answer in the log.

I tried to switch RX/TX on inverter side, still KO.

I also tested the “real” program:

I will buy an RS232 male/male to be able to test with the RJ45/RS232 cable provided with the inverter.

Perfect! If the loopback test is working the connection between the ESP and the RS232 board is fine. If the inverter still doesn't respond please swap the RX/TX-lines of your RJ45<->D-SUB data cable and try again!

Hello,

Sorry for the delay, I did a lot of tests to understand the issue. I switched the TX/RX and it still didn't worked.

Just to be sure, I tested to communicate with the inverter through Watchpower: Inverter --> RJ45/RS232 cable (provided with the inverter) --> RS232/USB --> Laptop with WatchPower. It works!

I investigated again and the issue seems to be in the RJ45 custom cable. I don’t understand why, but : 1/ When I tested the loopback without the RJ45, it works.

2/ When I test the loopback with the RJ45 (not connected to the inverter), it doesn’t work (there is no shortcut in the RX/TX/GND of the RJ45.

I take another RJ45 cable, and it works.

I removed the loopback and connected the RJ45 to the inverter, and… it works! for real! :)
