- Small corrections in “Need help connecting?” guide.
Remote VEConfigure
In the image above you will note 3 options for updating a product, one of which is ‘Connected to a Color Control on VRM’. This is the functionality for Remote VEConfigure via a Color Control GX which has a site on the VRM (Victron Remote Management) portal.
What is Remote VEConfigure?
It simply means you can adjust product settings remotely!
See the documentation here: CCGX Remote VEConfigure and firmware updates.
Here is the principal functionality:
-
Remote VEConfigure: changing settings in VE.Bus Inverters, Multis and Quattros. Both for single unit systems as parallel and three phase systems.
-
Remotely update firmware of VE.Can products (note that this will erase the configuration. It is not possible to configure a product remotely!)
