I have a second inverter that I intend installing the Pylontech Lithium batteries
However, the bluesolar MPPT 150/85 charger does not have a VE direct port.
Is there a solution to connects via VE Can port to the CCGX such that it will work with the Pylontech?
So far all the information refers to connection via VE direct
Pylontech runs at a CanBus speed of 500kbps, and the CanBus of your MPPT is 250kbps. You won’t be able to run both, best would be to swop the MPPT out to a model that supports Ve.direct
I use Pylontech US2000B linked to a Venus GX and Multi+II following the application note, requiring to use the given CAN batteriy to VE.Can cable.
The doc of your BlueSolar mention that you can connect it to ccgx/venusgx using CAN (use a termination resistor plug)
First, I advise you to check the CAN connectivity between BlueSolar alone and ccgx
It should appear in the device list.
Then check the Pylontech alone to ccgx connectivity via CAN, using the right CAN cable indicated on appnote.
It should appear in the device list.
If it is okay for both, now connect both to ccgx using with termination resistor plug to the 2 extremities.
Check that both appear in ccgx device list.
For the BlueSokar settings related to Pylontech, I advise you to refer to the voltages indicated ob the app note.
The bluesolar MPPT 150/85 is not listening to the BMS, you can’t use this model for proper integration with Pylontech
The application note indicates this clearly

Hi Moodlyd,
Sorry to say there is no supported way. It may be possible using the allow to charge contacts and some other arrangement, but this is not tested, not recommended and not supported.
I go into a little bit of detail as to why this is the case in this other community questions about the same topic:
