 The minimum required firmware version for the [[https://www.victronenergy.com/panel-systems-remote-monitoring/color-control|Color Control GX]] is v2.15. It is highly recommended to use the latest firmware version on all connected devices, including CCGX/VENUS GX, Inverter/Charger and MPPTs. There are regular updates to improve performance and reliability.

 ==== Wiring of communication cables ====
-Use the //VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS type B Cable//, part number ASS030720018. Plug the side which is labeled Battery BMS into the LG Chem Resu BMS. Plug the side labeled Victron VE.Can into the [[venus-os:start|Venus-device]].
