Hi,
Having recently purchased the open inverter boards for our SDU we're hoping to work with another team to have it controlled by CAN with ability to be shut off / derate with BMS if any issues occur
Could someone tell me how to find the CAN protocol for this?
Thanks in advanced

Re: CAN protocol for the Open inverter Tesla SDU
There is no "protocol" you can map various parameters/spot values to the CAN bus. https://openinverter.org/wiki/CAN_communication
What BMS are you using? What "team" are you talking about a ECU/VCU?

Thank you - We usually use thunderstruck but for this build we're working with ECO classics to use their off the shelf BMS, doesn't seem to have a brand we know of, it's from china and used in their conversions, they have off the shelf NIO motors they use so all a bit more advanced than we've used before.tom91 wrote: ↑Tue May 06, 2025 8:55 am There is no "protocol" you can map various parameters/spot values to the CAN bus. https://openinverter.org/wiki/CAN_communication

I'm curious, what other people are doing regarding derating? just using the input signal when BMS detects a fault or?
