2.1. What is the Venus GX?
The Venus GX is a member of the GX product family .
GX products are Victron's state-of-the-art monitoring and control solution that run our Venus OS operating system. It sits at the heart of your energy installation. All the other system-components such as inverter/chargers, solar chargers, and batteries are connected to it. The VGX ensures that they all work in harmony.
To monitor and control your system, you can simply access it remotely via our Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal from anywhere in the world using an internet connection. Or access it directly, using a web browser or our VictronConnect app via local LAN/WiFi Network or via the built-in WiFi Access Point, or a Multi-Functional Display (MFD).
The Remote Console serves as the primary control center for monitoring, controlling and managing your system.
The VGX also provides VRM: Remote firmware updates and allows settings to be changed remotely.
Note that all the information in this manual refers to the latest software. You can check your device has the latest version in the firmware menu (see the Firmware updates chapter) when the GX device is connected to the internet. For installations without internet, you can find the latest version in Victron Professional.
