Orion 2 BMS with Zombiverter

[Rustybkts]

I have followed all Damien's videos with relish but haven't seen anything regarding the integration of an Orion BMS or any BMS in the video's or the forum.
I note that there are three BMS choices in the parameters but no Orion.
Has anyone used an Orion with the Zombiverter as otherwise, I will need to wire a relay cutout in the charging circuit which is a bit heavy handed to say the least.

I've used Orion BMS in a couple conversions with Zombie. What I usually do is to configure Orion to send the BMS messages in the same format as SIMP BMS then just use that as the BMS option.

That's great.
I have used the CAN messaging a lot on my Evora conversion to enable the CAN instruments.
Where do I find the SIMP BMS message format as I'm new to the Openinverter site.

They should be on the simp BMS manual here https://github.com/Tom-evnut/SimpBMS

I believe they are also the same as Victron canbus IDs.

Hi LRBen,

Any chance of publishing the CAN messages between Orion and Zombiverter as I couldn't find them on the link above.
Cheers

Victron canbus IDs

You can turn on the victron CAN in the Orion software
