canbus broadcasting messages from Quattro

I try to get Quattro inverter/charger information from CANBus communication with a CAN-USB adapter to my pc.

I can receive following two messages. So I assume my hardness works.

e 18ea0000 3 0 ee 0

e 18eeff00 8 0 0 c0 2c 0 82 f0 c0

However I expect more broadcasting messages from Quattro such as AC status, battery status...

How can I get other broadcasting messages?

Thanks in advance.

Are you attempting to read directly from the Quattro?
The Quattro does not communicate with CANBus, it is VE.Bus.

WKirby, Thank you for your answer.


Something I forgot to mention is that we have bought and installed CCGX interface component. So when I test CAN communication, I connect my CAN adapter to the VE.Can port of CCGX with my own harness to match the pin layout.


Since I got above two CAN messages, does that mean VE.Can port of Quattro and CCGX works partially, not fully functional?


I have been reading https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/Whitepaper-Data-communication-with-Victron-Energy-products_EN.pdf


It mentioned that on board communication port for Quattro is VE.Bus while it support CAN via interface. Does that mean I need to use an interface hardware connect between Quattro VE.Bus port and my CAN adapter? The only thing close I can find is https://www.victronenergy.com/accessories/ve-bus-to-nmea2000-interface, Any suggestions?
