Hi,
I wonder if VE.Bus BMS should be visible in device list. My Victron installation has EasySolar 48/5000 (MultiPlus + BlueSolar MPPT + CCGX), 4 x 25,6V 200 Ah LiFePO4 Smart batteries, BMV-712 Smart with 1000 A shunt, VE.Bus BMS and Orion-Tr 48/12-30 DC-DC converter. The system is fed by 5,1 kW solar panel array and there are DC loads. I have successfully installed VE.Bus BMS assistant.
When I open the device list of this installation in VRM I only see Gateway (CCGX), VE.Bus System (MultiPlus), Battery Monitor (BMV-712) and Solar Charger (BlueSolar MPPT) but not VE.Bus BMS. If I open Remote Console and go to MultiPlus tab I see that VE.Bus BMS has been recognised. But when I open BlueSolar MPPT tab and Networked operation I find that it's not networked and not BMS controlled. What have I missed?
When I'm on site I can check the status of the Smart batteries on VictronConnect with my mobile phone. The batteries are connected to the VE.Bus BMS by daisy chained data cables and obviously the status information should be transmitted to the BMS, but I can't find e.g. battery temperature anywhere.
My concern is that even if the VE.Bus BMS is recognised by MultiPlus and its both leds are lit blue it still isn't fully installed.
I would be grateful for any helpful ideas.
