Help me with VE.bus reconfiguration

Hi all



Our victron equipment is connected by a CAN bus as shown in this picture.





BMS (1/2) is faulty and we are waiting for a replacement unit. I believe that the faulty BMS (1/2) is a “dead node” in our network and is causing this error message:




The error message is preventing us from charging through the second BMS (2/2).


As a temporary fix I want to disconnect the faulty BMS and Skylla 1 and 2 which serve it, from the network so we are left with this:





1. Am I correct in believing that the faulty BMS is causing the error message from the Skylla?


2. Can I reconfigure the CAN network as shown in the sketch?


Look forward to your answers.


Best


Sam

Yes, it is quite possible it is causing the error message.
Yes, you can connect it like that, you should leave the terminators on the end nodes like they are.
