4.4. VE.Can Devices
To connect a product with a VE.Can port, use a standard RJ45 UTP cable (available with straight and elbow connectors).
Don't forget to terminate the VE.Can network at both ends using a VE.Can terminator. A bag with two terminators is supplied with
each VE.Can product. They are also available separately.
Other notes:
1. In order to work with the CCGX, an MPPT 150/70 must be running firmware v2.00 or newer.
2. You can combine a Skylla-i control panel with a CCGX.
3. You can combine a Ion Control panel with a CCGX.
4. All VE.Can devices power the VE.Can network, so it won't be necessary to power the VE.Can network separately in these
circumstances. All the protocol converters, for example the VE.Bus to VE.Can interface and the BMV to VE.Can interface, do
not power the VE.Can network.
The following VE.Can products also support VictronConnect-Remote (VC-R) – Configuration and monitoring via VRM. Please
read the VictronConnect manual for further details.

4.5. VE.Can Interfaces
The Color Control GX has one VE.Can interface that is electrically isolated.
VE.Can is intended to be used for Victron (and Victron compatible) VE.Can products, such as the VE.Can MPPTs, Skylla-IP65,
Lynx Shunt VE.Can and Lynx Smart BMS. You can string these VE.Can 250 kbit/s devices together along this bus. It must be
terminated at both ends with the included VE.Can terminators.
You can set the VE.Can port from 250 kbit/s to be 500 kbit/s (or one of several other CANbus speeds for other CANbus
applications).
By default; VE.Can is set to 250 kbit/s & BMS-Can (if present) to 500 kbit/s.
Other types of Batteries and BMS may claim compatibility with BMS-Can or VE.Can, but if they are not on the battery
compatibility list, then they have not been tested and confirmed to work by Victron.
One extra element of possible confusion is that there are some BMS products on the market that use a CANbus-BMS profile
at 250 kbit/s. These BMS products can only be connected to the VE.Can port, and it must also be set to match this (VE.Can &
CAN-bus BMS (250 kbit/s)) in the services menu for the VE.Can port. They can be used in the same cable daisy chain as other
Victron VE.Can devices.
4.6. Inverter RS, Multi RS and MPPT RS
The Inverter RS, Inverter RS Solar and Multi RS have both VE.Direct and VE.Can interfaces. For these specific products, it
is only possible to connect a GX device via the VE.Can interface. It is not possible to connect a GX device via the VE.Direct
interface.
The VE.Direct interface on these specific products is only used for connection of a VE.Direct to USB adapter for programming.
This restriction does not apply to the MPPT RS, which can be connected to a GX device via either VE.Direct or VE.Can.
4.7. BMV-600 series
• Connect the BMV-600 using the VE.Direct to BMV-60xS cable. (ASS0305322xx).
