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).
The most common settings (including parallel and 3-phase operation) can be
changed by means of DIP switches (see Section 5.5).
For changing settings with the computer, the following is required:
VEConfigureII 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 systems with a
maximum of three MultiPlus units (parallel or three phase operation) can be
configured in a simple manner. VEConfigureII 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 MultiPlus
units, VE.Bus System Configurator software must be used. The software can be
downloaded free of charge at www.victronenergy.com . VEConfigureII 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 is required.
With VE.Net all parameters are accessible, with the exception of the multi-functional
relay and the VirtualSwitch.
