57
Message Time Limit Exceeded (CAN)
Fronius · Perfect Charging
What does 57 mean?
The charger did not receive an expected message from the battery via CAN bus within the allowed time frame. This indicates a delay or loss of communication packets, leading to a timeout and a communication failure.
Common Causes
- High latency or an intermittent connection on the CAN bus, causing messages to be delayed or dropped.
- The battery's BMS is slow to respond to queries or experiencing internal processing delays.
- Incorrect timeout settings configured in the charger's CAN communication parameters, making it too aggressive.
Repair Steps & Checklist

- 2
Check the battery's BMS for any internal fault codes or indications of slow operation or processing overload.
- 3
Review the charger's CAN communication timeout parameters and adjust them if necessary to be more tolerant of network latency.
