Introduction And Requirements - Victron energy Color Control GX Manual

Color Control GX manual [Victron Energy]
2. When there is more than one of those connected, it will use a random one - although you can select one manually.
3. when there is no dedicated Battery Monitor, it will use the VE.Bus SOC.
When should I use the 'No battery monitor' option?:
Use that in systems where:
1. there is a Multi or Quattro installed
2. no BMV or other battery monitor is installed
3. the system has other DC loads, or other chargers, connected to the same battery, which are not connected to the CCGX.
A short explanation: the VE.Bus SOC as determined by the Multi or Quattro will be incorrect in above situation. As it will not take the discharge and charge currents by those other DC Loads, and also
unmonitored chargers, into account.
2.4.4 Details on VE.Bus SOC
While in bulk, the SOC will not rise above the value as set in VEConfigure3 for the "State of charge when Bolk finished" parameter on the General tab; default 85%.
3 DVCC - Distributed Voltage and Current Control

3.1 Introduction and requirements

With DVCC enabled, the Venus-device (Device that runs the Venus OS. Such as the Color Control GX or Venus GX.) takes a more central role in the Victron system, improving and changing system
behaviour.
Enabling and disabling DVCC:
Go to Settings → System Setup
Required minimum firmware versions:
Multi/Quattro: 422
CCGX / Venus GX: v2.12
VE.Direct MPPTs: v1.29
VE.Can MPPT Solar Chargers cannot be used: they do not yet support the new control mechanisms.
Lynx Ion + Shunt: v2.04
Lynx BMS: v1.09
In case of an ESS System, the ESS Assistant needs to be version 164 or later (Released in November 2017).
In case of installing a MultiGrid 48/3000 the firmware needs to be version 424 or later.
Do not use DVCC in cases where these requirements are not met.
Important: Where batteries are connected via CAN-bus, check the relevant page on the Battery Compatibility manual (/live/battery_compatibility:start) to see if enabling DVCC has been tested with your
battery-type, and is OK. If DVCC is not mentioned in notes relating to your battery, do not enable DVCC.
For Gel, AGM, OPzS and other lead batteries, DVCC can be used without any problem. The same is true for Victron Energy lithium batteries with the VE.Bus BMS, the Lynx Ion + Shunt BMS or the Lynx
Ion BMS. DVCC is the preferred operating mode for Redflow ZBM2/ZCell batteries using the Redflow CANBus BMS.
