Can I connect more than one VE Direct to USB via a USB hub?
Hi @Batterie Strom Waerme GmbH,
yes. As much as the GX device is capable of handling. See GX device documentation.
I have some questions about this. I attempted to reference these two documents:
https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/Technical-Information-Data-communication-with-Victron-Energy-products_EN.pdf
and
https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/Datasheet-Color-Control-GX-EN.pdf
But they didn't answer my questions.
I have a Color CCGX (Retail) Sticker shows v2.11
I have 2x 100/50 MPPT (currently) connected via VE.Direct, using both the CCGX slots.
I believe my Multiplus is connected via one of the two USB Ports with a VE.Direct to USB Adapter.
I'm in a position to need to be able to add two different wattage solar panels (a 350w and a 400w), so I would just purchase two more MPPT, rather than lose power off either. However, to connect these to the CCGX, right, is to use a USB Hub with VS.Direct/USB adapters to the USB hub and then a single connection from the hub to the CCGX.
I'm not clear on whether or not the Color CCGX would accept the USB hub connection, if there are particular details I need to know about doing so, and if 4xMPPT would exceed the limit of the Color CCGX support.
Notes: 12v system. 4x190w panels on roof, 2x each to an MPPT 100/50. New MPPT would be 100/30. (I already have one, not yet installed, didn't expect to have yet another solar panel available.)
