Easysolar 24/1600/40-16 and Venus GX

Hello,


I have just installed Easysolar 24/1600/40-16 and Venus GX. I have connected Venus GX with ethernet cable to Easysolar's left RJ45 plug. I have also succesfully added Venus GX to VRM, but I cant get it connected to Easysolar. Should it find it automatically or do I need to do something?


I get no information on VRM atm. Only Venus GX online...

If you're absolutely certain you have VE.Bus > VE.Bus, try another cable.

Hi. Your Easy is really just a convenient combo box of Multiplus and Blue/Smartsolar mppt. Wires needed, even if you have to open it up. https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ccgx:start See 1.1

What model of either is within your unit I won't guess at, but the available terminals should tell..

I have connected Venus GX (VE Bus) -> Multiplus (VE Bus) but it doesnt appear on VRM.

Is there anything else that I should do? Should I use DIP's: DIP 1 On, DIP2 OFF?

I think the GX overrides the dipswitches, but don't read that as gospel.

Try rebooting from within: Settings > General > Reboot?.

Unfortunately nothing new. Only device found is ”gateway”.


I have connected the ethernet cable on the left rj45 connector on pcb on inverter/charger. As I have understood it is right..?

Can you show pictures of where you connected the cables?

Here is photo of Venus, unfortunately I dont have any photos inside the EasySolar. The cable on right side of Venus is plugged to EasySolar’s inverter’s PCB’s left RJ45 socket near the + cable coming from Battery.
