1.2 A GX-device is required, eg Cerbo GX or Venus GX (VGX)
It is essential to use the CAN-bus connection of the
batteries for the keep-alive signal, communication of charge and discharge limits, error codes and
state of charge.
For new systems, the minimum required firmware version for the
is highly recommended to use the latest firmware version on all connected devices, including the GX
device Inverter/Charger and MPPTs. There are regular updates to improve performance and reliability.
Legacy systems installed with v2.15 can continue to be used without upgrade as long as they do not
present any issues.
1.3 All Multi, MultiPlus, MultiGrid and Quattro are compatible
As long as you are using the appropriate model for the nominal battery voltage, all VE.Bus inverters
and inverter/chargers are compatible.
The minimum firmware version for new installations is 469. Though
recommended where possible, and a necessary first step when troubleshooting issues.
These inverter/charger units must be connected to the
Legacy systems installed with VE.Bus firmware 422 can continue to be used without upgrade as long
as they do not present any issues.
1.4 All VE.Direct BlueSolar and SmartSolar MPPT Chargers are compatible
For proper operation, the Pylontech battery needs to be able to control the charge current. Therefor it
is recommended to use Victron 48V compatible MPPTs models with VE.Direct port for charging.
MPPTs with a VE.Direct port
MPPTs are controlled via the
to 1.37 or the latest available version.
The MPPT requires connection to the
(due to temperature, etc) To test operation, try disconnecting the
time-out, the MPPT will stop charging and flash an error code on its LEDs. The error code is
no BMS.
MPPTs with a VE.Can port
New Model (2019 and later) VE.Can MPPTs are also supported from firmware version 1.06 and above.
Be aware that some GX devices (e.g. CCGX) only have a single CANBus interface, and that is required
for the battery communications. So if you use a new VE.Can MPPT, it must also be with a GX device
that has more than one CANbus interface, e.g. the Cerbo GX.
