Hi ,
I updated my three faze system today to the latest firmware on my Multiplus II 48 volt 5000 inverter/Charger .
When logging in with VE configure 3 to restore my config , I noticed this new "configured for VE.bus BMS" checkbox .
Can anyone explain what this does and if I need to enable this with my REC - BMS setup ?
Try to understand and any help is appreciated ...
Kenny
The VE Bus BMS is Victrons BMS that plugs into the ve bus on the inverters directly. So has nothing to do with the rec bms as far as I know since it connects to the cerbo via can bus.

Thank you for that answer. For me this was totally unclear in the documentation.
Do you use 2-wire bms macro with the opto coupler from REC?
The activation of the macro to stop charge / discharge may indicate a BMS connection as Ve.Bus BMS.
That setup would use the 2 signal bms assistant.
The ve bus bms bms supprt assistant for victron batteries has been depreciated. The feature @KennyBuntinx is seeing I assume is the option being used now instead.
I use a REC ABMS without CAN BUS or other integration into the Venus OS, just the 2-wire BMS Assistant and signals to stop charge and discharge by the optocoupler outputs, works as expected.
The Quattro internally treats it as Type 1 BMS
