3.1 Protocol
CAN: CAN-Bus-protocol-PYLON-low-voltage-V1.2-20180408 or above.
RS485: RS485-protocol-pylon-low-voltage-V3.1-20180408 or above.
3.2 Cables Connection for US2000/US3000 under RS485 or CANBUS.
3.2.1 Cables Connection for RS485
 Each battery group can configure maximum 8pcs US2000B Plus or 8pcs US3000.
 LV-Hub-A configures maximum 5 group batteries.
 RS485 communication needn’t additional cable and power just a simple hub is enough.

 When each battery group’s current is >120A, this battery group must configure 2 pair external
power cables like the diagram.
 The details of ADD Switch setting also can see the menu of battery.
3.2.2 Cables Connection for CAN (single HUB)
 Each battery group can configure maximum 8pcs US2000B Plus or 8pcs US3000.
 LV-Hub-A configures maximum 5 group batteries.
