Configuration By Computer - Victron energy Phoenix Series Manual

Multi-functional relay
By default, the multi-functional relay is set as an alarm relay, i.e. the relay will de-
energise in the event of an alarm or a pre-alarm (inverter almost too hot, ripple on the
input almost too high, battery voltage almost too low). Not adjustable with DIP
switches.
VirtualSwitch
The VirtualSwitch is a software function in the microprocessor. The inputs of this
function are parameters that can be selected with VEConfigure (e.g. certain alarms or
voltage levels). The output is binary (0 or 1). The output can be connected the multi-
functional relay.
If connected to the multi-functional relay, and with battery voltage as input value, for
example, the VirtualSwitch can be configured to supply a battery monitor signal.

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. You can download the VEConfigureII software free
of charge at
A RJ45 UTP cable and the MK2.2b RS485-to-RS232 interface. If your
-
computer has no RS232 connection, but does have USB, you will also need
a RS232-to-USB interface cable. 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 Phoenix Inverters (parallel or three phase operation) can be
configured in a simple manner. VEConfigureII forms part of this program.
You can download the software free of charge at
For connection to your computer, a RJ45 UTP cable and the MK2.2b RS485-to-
RS232 interface is required.
If your computer does not have a RS232 connection but is equipped with USB, you
will also need a RS232-to-USB interface cable. Both are available from Victron
Energy.
