Victron GX product
Introduction
Victron GX products are Victron’s state-of-the-art monitoring solution. The family consists of the different GX products, and their accessories.
The GX-device lies at the heart of the system – providing monitoring, and operating as the communication-centre of your installation. All the other system-components – such as inverter/chargers, solar chargers, and batteries – are connected to it. Monitoring can be carried out locally and remotely – via our free-to-use Victron Remote Management portal (VRM). The GX device also provides Remote
firmware updates (link) and allows inverter/charger settings to be changed remotely (VRM Portal).
The GX Family consists of these models: Ekrano GX – Our latest GX product with integrated 7 inch touchscreen.
Cerbo GX – Most commonly used GX product.
Cerbo GX MK2 – Almost identical to the Cerbo GX, this new model has improvements in its VE.Can ports, USB ports and pulse counting. See table below for details, as well as foot note 26.
Cerbo-S GX – Lower cost version, same as normal Cerbo GX but without BMS-Can port, Tank- and Temperature monitoring inputs.
Color Control GX – Our first released GX product, the CCGX has a display and buttons.
Venus GX – The Venus GX has more analog and digital IO, no LCD and is more cost effective than the CCGX.
CANvu GX – The CANvu GX is best for harsh environments – when its IP67 rating and touch LCD is a must.
Octo GX – The Octo GX is particularly suited to medium size installations which have many MPPT Solar Chargers, as it has 10 VE.Direct ports. (EOL (End of line))
Maxi GX – Compared to the other GX devices, the Maxi GX has most CPU power and most VE.Direct ports: 25. This is the GX device to use for large systems with many VE.Direct MPPT Solar Chargers. (EOL (End of line))
Lastly, there is a GX device built into our MultiPlus-II GX and EasySolar-II GX Inverter/chargers.
