Closed-loop communication with a Power Conversion device requires using the 
LYNK II Communication Gateway device from Discover Battery. Refer to the relevant 
LYNK II Installation and Operation Manual available from the  
www.discoverbattery.com website, or contact your Discover Battery provider for 
assistance.

Refer to the appropriate Application Note available from www.discoverbattery.com 
for the set up of closed-loop parameters and integration with specific brands of 
solar inverter-chargers, solar charger controllers, mobile inverter-chargers, and 
industrial chargers.

7.3  AEbus (LYNK) Network Communication

Discover batteries use CAN communication over the AEbus (LYNK) Network to 
coordinate performance with other batteries and communicate with accessories 
such as the LYNK Communication Gateway.

NOTICE

•  Terminating resistors are required when deploying the battery in an AEbus (LYNK) 

Network.

7.3.1  AEbus (LYNK) Network Power

The Discover battery provides the AEbus (LYNK) Network power through the AEbus 
(LYNK) Port.

NOTICE

•  Do not use an external power source to power devices over the AEbus (LYNK) 

Network.

7.3.2  7.3.2 AEbus (LYNK) Network Size

One AEbus (LYNK) Network can support up to 13 AES LiFePO

4

 batteries.

7.3.3  AEbus (LYNK) Network Cable

Use CAT5 cables for batteries on the AEbus (LYNK) Network.
