Vitotronic Binding, Optolink adapter, ! Trouble with communication to OptolinkInterface!

Hello,

i build this optolink adapter direct connected to my RPI2.

After i connect my self build adapter i installed this software.

Now i try to start it with ./start_debug.sh everything should work expect the connection to my hardware.

I got this error message

How can i solve this problem?

First of all, as indicated, you must check your hardware :

  • the connection between your RaspberryPi and your opolink
  • the correct place of photovoltaics sensors.

After that, did you check the protocol used by your vitotronic?
You could find bellow a list of device with their protocol.
I have made this list from a multiplicity of sources and she is not checked for all devices.
So you must take her carefully.

Does my problem also exist, if i use only the adapter without my oven?
I also can’t see the IR Led flashing (with my camera).

Sorry, I don’t understand what is your oven ?
I don’t surprise that you can’t see the IR Led flashing. For this you should use a very high frequency infra-red camera. I doubt you have one.

I used the word oven for my oil burner “vitoladens 300-c”.

Oh, i don’t know that the frequenz/bit rate is that high.

So this error message will also show up when i don’t plug the adapter on to my oil burner or has my adapter a problem?

Both cases can produce this error message :roll_eyes: .

Try to place your adapter in a better position and restart optolink.
Unless suceed after a lot of tries, you could think that your problem came from your adapter

I have also a vitoladens 300-c.
You could find bellow my optolink.xml

For information, the correct log when optolink start normally :

Thank you.

I tried it in a different position but without luck :frowning:

Which adapter do you use?

Do you also got this error message if you use your adapter without to plug in your oil burner?

Hi,
A question:
How did you installed the mentioned SW?
I am stuck with copy: optolink-runtime.zip from the target folder to Rasberry and extract it.
Where can I find the mentioned .zip file and where to copy it?
I do not really understand this point. From where to get it and to where to copy it.

Thanks in advance
