1 Introduction
Victron Energy has established an international reputation as a leading
designer and manufacturer of energy systems. Our R&D department is
the driving force behind this reputation. It is continually seeking new
ways of incorporating the latest technology in our products. Each step
forward results in value-added technical and economical features.
1.1 Introduction to VE.Net
VE.Net stands for Victron Energy Network. It allows all VE.Net
compatible devices to communicate with each other. This means that
the charger for example can get information from the battery controller
to optimize the charge current. It is possible to control and monitor all
your VE.Net devices from a single VE.Net compatible control panel.
This saves space and allows you to control all your devices from one
place. It is however, not necessary to be limited to a single panel.
Multiple panels can be used on the network, allowing full control and
monitoring capabilities of all devices in multiple locations.
1.2 The Blue Power Panel 2
The Blue Power Panel (BPP) provides intuitive control for all devices
connected to the VE.Net network. It can be used to view and configure
the full range of settings on VE.Net devices. Furthermore, its fully
customizable overview screens make it the ideal monitoring tool for your
power system.
The BPP now features an integrated VE.Net to VE.Bus Converter (VVC).
This allows you to combine the powerful control of the VE Configure
software with the simple interface of the BPP, without requiring a
computer or additional interface devices.
