It acted as a middle-man, forwarding control parameters from the Multis, or Quattros, to the MPPT Solar Chargers.<\/p>\n<p>But that interface cable is now no longer necessary, since the CCGX will act as the middle-man.<\/p>\n<p>The steps needed to get the interface cable out, and working VRM Solar Yield and Consumption graphs in return, are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/live\/ccgx:firmware_updating\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Update the firmware of the CCGX to v1.73<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Find the RJ-45 cable that is between the Multis\/Quattros and the VE.Bus to VE.Can interface.<\/li>\n<li>Unplug the end that goes into the that\u00a0interface, and plug it\u00a0straight into the VE.Bus socket on the back of the CCGX.<\/li>\n<li>Disconnect the other end of the VE.Bus to VE.Can interface as well.<\/li>\n<li>Reboot the Color Control GX<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>There is now a direct connection between the Multis\/Quattros and the Color Control GX: the VE.Bus to VE.Can interface cable has been taken out of the equation.<\/p>\n<p>Make these two checks to be\u00a0sure everything is still functioning correctly:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In the Device list, you should see the Multi or Quattro.<\/li>\n<li>In the Solar Charger menu, it&#8217;s state should say &#8216;Hub-1&#8217;.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Customers that did not have the cable in the first place, and do have an installation with VE.Can mppts and a multi or Quattro configured with Hub-1 and a policy that requires active control of the MPPT, will see the system behavior improve as well.<\/p>\n<h3>Above is for MPPTs with a VE.Can connection, what about VE.Direct?<\/h3>\n<p>Since a while, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/2016\/06\/10\/color-control-gx-v1-51-released\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">v1.51 to be precise<\/a>, the CCGX already took care of this &#8216;middle-man-function&#8217; for VE.Direct connected solar chargers. This means that now, with v1.73, it does it for all types of Victron MPPT Solar Chargers. No more exceptions or caveats to worry about.<\/p>\n<h3>Full change log<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Add forwarding of Hub-1 instructions from Multi to Solar chargers connected on the VE.Can port. Note that this same mechanism was already working for Solar chargers connected on the VE.Direct ports. This fixes the &#8216;Solar yield and Consumption tab not working&#8217; problems.<\/li>\n<li>Add support for Sony, BYD-Box and Puredrive batteries.<\/li>\n<li>Stability improvement in the VE.Bus driver.<\/li>\n<li>Fix VE.Direct MPPT Solar chargers current being factor 10 too low.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Installing the update<\/h3>\n<p>By default, a CCGX\u00a0will automatically download and install this new firmware version via the Internet.
