At a glance details can be seen in the image below. For further information see the GX Product Family page.
Octo GX
The Octo GX is DIN-rail mountable, so it’s compatible with existing industry standard control boards. It has many interfaces, allowing control and monitoring of over a dozen Victron components simultaneously. Also and very handy for ESS systems – it has a built-in RS485 port.
Octo GX applications include large integrated commercial or industrial electrical systems where you may have a control room with many VE.Direct MPPT’, Multiplus Inverter/Chargers and CANBus devices.
Further information can be found on the Octo GX product page.
Conclusion
There’s a Venus-device to suit your needs – we trust the new Octo GX adds to and expands the growing GX Product Family range.
The first stock of the Octo GX is expected in early January.
