Victron-Pylontech US5000 ESS (dis)charge limit?

Hi everyone, we recently installed an ESS consisting of 18x Pylontech US5000 and 3x Victron Multiplus-II 48V/10000VA/140A-100/100/230. We would expect a maximum (dis)charge of around 3x 8.000W (combined 24.000W), but when checking the VRM app and setting it the maximum 8.000W per inverter, per phase it just doesn't go above a combined 15.000W. I've been checking all sorts of settings, but cannot find where there could possible be a limit in place. Can anyone help me out? P.s. at the same site we also installed a 12x Pylontech US3000 combined with 3x Victron Multiplus-II 48V/5000/70-50 230V and they perfectly do the max of around 4.000W per inverter.

Sounds like the system does not know all modules are there.

Check under the pylontec see the CCL and DCL or use vrm advanced with the widget there.

Thanks, in VRM advanced I see CCL 960A and DCL 960A. Should be enough. How can I see if all 18 modules are known to the system?

Thanks so much for the feedback, ok the 960A seems then not enough. I do not have the "Details" Tag though. Any other place where the 960A can be increased?

Aaah I misread, 960A IS enough.

Thanks all for the input, is there in VRM portal any option to add modules and/or increase the max AC current that can be drawn by the Victron's? We think that we maybe have put in a limit when installing the Victrons. Are these settings only configurable at location and connecting a USB dongle to the Victrons?
