 ====== VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS cables manual ======
-===== 1. Introduction =====
+Use these [[https://www.victronenergy.com/cables/ve-can-to-can-bus-bms|VE.Can to CAN-bus cables]] to connect a CAN-bus enabled battery to a [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/venus-os:start|GX device]].
-Use this cable to connect a CAN-bus enabled battery to a Victron system.
-The side labeled 'CAN-bus BMS' plugs into the battery. The other sie, labeled 'VE.Can' must be plugged into the VE.Can port of the Venus-device.
-There are two types, each with different pinning. Some brands of batteries require a Type A. Other brands require the Type B cable.
+===== 1. Selecting the right cable =====
-Batteries that require the Type A cable:
+=== ASS030710018 - VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS type A Cable 1.8m ===
   * BYD B-Box
+  * Pylontech US2000C/US3000C/UP5000/Force-L
-Batteries that require the Type B cable:
+=== ASS030720018 - VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS type B Cable 1.8m ===
   * LG Chem Resu
   * AXIstorage
   * BMZ
-  * Pylontech
+  * Pylontech US2000/US3000/UP2500
+  * Solar MD BMS EX
-===== 2. Pin-out =====
+===== 2. Installation =====
-For the do-it-yourselvers:
+The side labeled 'CAN-bus BMS' plugs into the battery. The other side, labeled 'VE.Can' must be plugged into either the VE.Can port of the GX device, or the BMS-Can port.
-==== 2.1 Type A ====
+Both port types (VE.Can and BMS-Can) on a GX Device can be configured for use with a CAN-bus BMS connected third party battery.
+For configuration, see the manual specific to the brand of battery you are using.
+===== 3. Pin-out =====
+In some cases it might be needed to make the cable at the location. Find below the pin-outs. Make sure to very carefully test the cable after crimping it. Self-made cables are very often the causes of very hard to diagnose problems.
