in my vrm.victronenery portal, under devices I don't see my battery/s (have 2 x Pylontech US2000 plus's) I am using the non Pylontech supplied cable. the Victron is getting comms/data from the batteries.
asked
Not seeing Pylontech US2000 in devices?
Can you see the battery in your Venus device as a Pylontech?
Did you change to this on the Venus CAN-bus BMS (500 kbit/s)?
I had problems before I change the CAN-bus setting.
Pylontech batteries are shown as a single unit under battery monitor under the device list in the VRM Portal:
Hello to everybody!
Hello @Guy Stewart (Victron Community Manager)
I have exactly the same problem. I have setup a new ESS 3-phase system with
- 1x Multiplus-2 GX 3000 (upgrade to newest FW done)
- 2x Multiplus-2 3000 (upgrade to newest FW done)
- 8x Pylontech US2000B+
- 1x Victron VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS Typ B
The special cable is connected in the Multiplus 2 GX and there is the "Resistor", too.
Here a screenshot from VRM. there are "only" two device visible: Gateway and VE BUS System. No Battery Monitor! ;-(
The pylons are online and suppling power to the Multiplus. I have read here as well in the Victron Pylon Document (5 GX-Device) that the speed of CAN-Bus should be adjusted to 500 kbit/s but I couldn't find where and how to do this. So I think this might be the problem. Perhabs some body can guide me how to check and fix the CAN-Bus speed.
What I am doing wrong? What I am missing?
I am afraid I need help on this.
Any suggestions are more than welcome.

That is most likely the problem @DayAndNight
Please do the MultiPlus-II GX Course in the Online Training section of Victron Professional, I demonstrate in that course how to make the necessary changes.
Success!
Hello @Guy Stewart (Victron Community Manager),
I did before I started with this installation the training and the exam! ;-) Successfully! But I am afraid I missed something. I just view the film again, but I couldn't find any information what "magic" I have to do to see a batterie. I looked thru the additional assistants but there is only one which might be suitable "VM.BUS BMS (015A)" but when I tried to install it together with the "ESS assistant (0174)" the VMS Software told it can't be used in combination with the ESS.
I found in your video, buy the way I find your videos very professional and helpful, at minute 24:03 where your are showing the device list, that there is already en entry for a CAN bus BMS Battery this entry exactly I am missing.
I looked thru your video, but I couldn't find any hint how and where or what to do specially for the (CAN- bus) battery. During the setup for each multiplus setup I set all the voltages as described in the Pylontech document, so information for the battery was transfered to the Multiplus device. Nevertheless I surely made something wrong or forgot something.
And finally as I was not 100% sure if I should use in the system Setup a VMS Battery monitor or No Battery monitor - Pylon is connected by CAN-bus - I tried both varities but it didn't help.
Hopefully you can give me the necessary hint, please.
Many greetings from Bavaria
