Configuration By Computer - Victron energy Phoenix Compact 24/1200 Manual

5.3 Configuration by computer

All settings can be changed by means of a computer or with a VE.Net panel (except for
the multi-functional relay and the VirtualSwitch when using VE.Net).
Some settings can be changed with DIP switches (see Section 5.2).
For changing settings with the computer, the following is required:
- VEConfigure3 software: can be downloaded free of charge at www.victronenergy.com.
- A RJ45 UTP cable and the MK2.2b RS485-to-RS232 interface. If the computer has no
RS232 connection, but does have USB, a RS232-to-USB interface cable is needed.
Both are available from Victron Energy.
5.3.1 VE.Bus Quick Configure Setup
VE.Bus Quick Configure Setup is a software program with which one Compact unit or
systems with a maximum of three Compact units (parallel or three phase operation) can
be configured in a simple manner. VEConfigure3 forms part of this program.
The software free can be downloaded free of charge at www.victronenergy.com.
For connection to the computer, a RJ45 UTP cable and the MK2.2b RS485-to-RS232
interface is required.
If the computer has no RS232 connection, but does have USB, a RS232-to-USB
interface cable is needed. Both are available from Victron Energy.
5.3.2 VE.Bus System Configurator and dongle
For configuring advanced applications and/or systems with four or more inverters,
VE.Bus System Configurator software must be used. The software can be downloaded
free of charge at www.victronenergy.com. VEConfigure3 forms part of this program.
The system can be configured without a dongle, and will be fully functional during 15 minutes
(as a demonstration facility). For permanent use, a dongle – available at additional charge – is
required.
For connection to the computer, a RJ45 UTP cable and the MK2.2b RS485-to-RS232
interface is required.
If the computer has no RS232 connection, but does have USB, a RS232-to-USB interface
cable is needed. Both are available from Victron Energy.
5.4 Configuration with a VE.Net panel
To this end, a VE.Net panel and the VE.Net to VE.Bus converter are required.
With VE.Net you can set all parameters, with the exception of the multi-functional relay and
the VirtualSwitch.
