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.
VE.Direct (wired)
Supported data attributes for wired devices connected via VE.Direct:
VE.Direct device | Data attributes transmitted to VRM every 15 minutes |
|---|---|
MPPT solar charger | State, battery voltage, battery current, load current, solar yield, error code |
BMV / SmartShunt | Main (battery) voltage, auxiliary voltage, main (battery) current, load current, State of Charge, alarm reason |
Inverter (RS) | State, mode, battery voltage, AC output voltage, AC output current, warning reason, alarm reason |
Multi RS | State, battery voltage, battery current, AC output voltage, AC output current, error code |
Smart IP43 Charger | State, mode, battery voltage (up to 3 channels), battery current (up to 3 channels), error code |
Orion XS | State, mode, battery voltage, battery current, DC input voltage, DC input current, error code |
Note
Note: Even though the Peak Power Pack has a VE.Direct port, the GlobalLink is not compatible with it.
