Interface MK3-USB (VE.Bus to USB)
Product Description
Victron Energy’s Interface MK3-USB (VE.Bus to USB) is designed to allow users to connect the VE Bus port to a computer via USB connection. All Phoenix Multi and MultiPlus units have built-in RS-485 data port that allows the units to communicate with a computer. All you need to link to your PC and be able to set and read out all parameters is the data link as shown plus an ethernet cable or Victron UTP cable (not included).
Moreover, all Victron Energy products equipped with an RS-485 data port can easily be integrated in a computerised monitoring and control system, such as VE.Net from Victron Energy. VE-Configure software is required. Software can be downloaded for free from the Victron website.
Software can be run in demo mode without having this or any external device present. For most purposes the Mk3 version will be no different than the previous Mk2 version, it was just redesigned to allow it to communicate with a wider range of devices.
The functions of the Interface MK3-USB (VE.Bus to USB) are quite similar to the Interface MK2-USB (for Phoenix Charger only) except that Mk3-USB offers improved usability for programmers creating their own programs/operating systems for Raspberry Pi, ModBus TCP, etc. to go along with Victron equipment.
