Error Codes - Victron energy Color Control GX Manual

1. For an ESS system
must remain to be configured to their default Device instance (0) for proper operation. This
does not apply to VE.Direct-connected Solar Chargers made available on the CAN-Bus as a
Virtual-device, using the NMEA2000-out function. Unless the Device instance of the GX Device is
re-configured to another Device Instance. Which is technically possible but not advised and also
never required. But in that situation the chargers must be configured to the same instance as
the GX Device.
2. For systems with managed batteries & DVCC the as above: VE.Can-connected solar chargers
will only be included in the DVCC control mechanism when their Device Instance is set to 0.
3. For both Solar chargers, as well as AC-Connected battery chargers, when connected in a VE.Can
network, they will synchronise their operation. Charge state and such. For that function to work,
all chargers must be configured to the same device instance.
In summary, for the majority of systems we recommend to leave the Device instance to its default, 0.
7.4.5 PGN 60928 NAME Unique Identity Numbers
The GX Device will assign an individual Unique Identity Number to each virtual-device. The number
assigned is a function of the PGN 60928 NAME Unique Identity Number block aka Unique
device number for VE.Can as in above screenshot, as configured in the settings of the GX
Device.
This table shows how changing that setting translates into the virtual-devices as made available on
the CAN-bus:
configured Unique Identity block:
GX Device
1st virtual-device (for example a BMV)
2st virtual-device (for example another BMV) 502 1002 1502 2002
3st virtual-device (for example a third BMV) 503 1003 1503 2003

8 Error Codes

Different origins of errors
On your GX device, some error codes shown will be from the GX device itself, in that case see below
list. But since its the system control panel, it also shows error codes from the connected devices.
Multi and Quattro inverter/chargers:
MPPT Solar Chargers:
GX Error #42 - Storage corrupt
This error means that the flash memory inside the GX Device is corrupt.
The device must be sent in for repair/replacement. Its not possible to correct this issue in the field or
with a firmware update.
