Multiplus Inverter Charger Combi VE-Bus Serial Adapter

Hi,

I am going to use the Multiplus 24/800 Inverter/Charger combi. It uses VE-Bus for communication.

How ever, I would like to build my own surveillance and display device, that is using an 8 Bit micro controller. Is there any victron device, that converts this VE-Bus to a serial port? Like the MK3, but with RS/232 instead of USB?


I know, that there is the Bluetooth Smart Dongle for it, but I need some kind of wired connection...


This is going to be commercial project with about 100 pieces/year,


Thanks,

Steffen

Hi @SteffenP

There is the: Interface MK2.2b (VE.Bus to RS232) ASS030120210


But it's quite old and not supported anymore, although most functions should still work.


for high volume options there are solutions to integrate the chip used in the MK3 interface in products, this you have to talk about with your Victron sales person.
