Connecting Mastervolt MLI Ultra's masterbus via Can-bus converter to victron

I have a Mastervolt MLI Ultra battery bank (3x MLI Ultra 24/5000) I want to use victron Multiplus and Cerbo GX for charging/discharging and as a ESS system. Mastervolt has an Masterbus-Canopen interface to connect to a CAN system. Is it possible to use this converter to smart connect the MLI Ultra's to the Victron system with a "VE.can to CANbus cable" and use the BMS information from the MLI's in Victron for regulating charging and discharging ?

Has anyone has experiences with this setup to connect third party BMS systems with CANopen to de Cerbo GX ?

You won't get an official answer as it is not a compatible battery from the list:

You need to pose this question to the manufacturer as they need to support Victron's implementation over CAN. Just having a CAN interface does not mean it will work as the messaging is mostly proprietary.

You can also search for the brand using the forum search bar, which may, or may not, show previous topics.
