6.1
Synchronizing the Victron System with the AES Battery
Once the VE.Can and CAN-bus bit rate is set, communication of the AES battery parameters will be automatic.
During normal operation, the charge parameter limits are set by the BMS of the AES battery and communicated through the system
by the CCGX to the inverter/charger and MPPT.
To optimize performance of a Victron system the following items need to be manually set using the CCGX.
Navigate from the Device List screen > Settings > System Setup.
From the System Setup menu scroll down to select each item and then set as indicated.
•
Battery Monitor: DISCOVER on CAN-bus
•
DVCC - Distributed Voltage and Current Control: ON
•
SVS - Shared voltage sense: OFF
(7)
•
STS - Shared temperature sense: OFF
•
Limit charge current: ON
•
Max charge current: Installed number of AES batteries x (42-48-6650: 92A < 130A) or (44-24-2800: 78 A < 110 A)
(8)
(7) SVS should be set to OFF (there have been instances of conflict reported by Victron Support when SVS is set to ON and used with a Lithium BMS).
(8) Limit charge current works across the whole system. MPPTs are automatically prioritized over the mains. In case the AES BMS requests a maximum charge
current that is different from the user-configurable setting, the lower of the two will be used.

To avoid conflicting network information and data, do not
use a Victron BMV battery monitor when using AES LYNK
Communication Gateway.
