For communication and information sharing? No, not directly.

What exactly are you trying to achieve? Are you thinking about a smart network?

If you mean can I have 2 smart shunts on a Cerbo GX then the answer is yes. And you can even have them on the same 0v leg in series if you really needed to.

I have 5 shunts in my system.

You can certainly install two shunts in series.

My series connected 400A KH and 500A Victron Smart Shunt monitor our battery and the numbers are very close.
