5. Product compatibility & data transmission to VRM
The GlobalLink 520 supports VE.Direct protocol and Instant Readout via Bluetooth. The latter is used for wireless data communication between the GlobalLink 520 and compatible smart devices. The data from devices connected via VE.Direct and Instant Readout can then be monitored via the VRM portal. See also the Victron smart devices and RuuviTags chapter.
Device | VE.Direct | Instant readout via Bluetooth | Data attributes transmitted to VRM |
|---|---|---|---|
BMV Battery Monitor 700 series | Yes | No | Battery voltage, current and power, SoC, alarm status and reason |
BMV Battery Monitor 710 & 712 Smart | Yes | Yes | Battery voltage, current and power, SoC, alarm status and reason |
Multi RS Solar & Inverter RS Smart Solar | Yes | No | AC input voltage, output voltage and current, inverter state, mode |
MPPT RS | Yes | No | PV power, battery voltage and current, error code, charge state, yield, load current |
Inverter VE.Direct | Yes | No | AC input voltage, battery voltage, AC out voltage and current, inverter state, mode, alarm reason |
Smart IP43 Chargers | Yes | No | Output (1/2/3) voltage and current, error code, charger on/off, charger state, relay state |

Note that even though the Peak Power Pack has a VE.Direct port, the GlobalLink 520 is not compatible to it.
Please also note that the VE.Bus Smart Dongle (and therefore a VE.Bus inverter/charger) cannot be connected to the GlobalLink 520 via Bluetooth.
