I have two identical Multiplus- II 48v/3000kva/120v. I have them powering a double pull 30-amp breaker at my cabin, each multi supplying 1 leg of power to each side of the breaker. I run my well off the panel, so I need the 240v. They are running things as they should. However, I want to be able to monitor and control them via VRM and Victron Connect, so I've been trying to configure them. I have a Cerbo-GX. If I try to plug 1 inverter via a cat 6 cable (RJ45) to the other (ve bus to ve bus), it crashes and both turn off. If I plug the 2nd multi into the Cerbo, they both crash and both turn off. I've watched so many videos and read manuals on configuring the multis via vebus configure, quick configure, victron connect.... but none of them have worked for me. I've updated the firmware in each, separately via the mk3-USB cable. So my question is, should the inverters be crashing when I link them together, and if so, I'm assuming it has to do with the system configuration... do I need to have both of them connect via dongles for victron connect to be able to see them both and then it will as me to configure? Right now that isn't any option for me.
I also would like to just say, if Steve Jobs was still alive and had even a month with Victron, their products would be so much more user friendly and easy to use. The fact that you have to buy all these separate items, like a simple dongle so your MultliPlus 2 has bluetooth, or a cerbo and touch 50/70 so you can actually see what it's doing without bluetooth, is not user friendly. I think the products are very well built and will last a long time, just the interface, monitoring, and ease of use across victron connect, VRM, and the software is all together not very smooth in my opinion.
