Modes of operation
The dongle can operate both as a primary and a background information source. It will assume either
role automatically depending on whether a Venus device (CCGX/VenusGX/OctoGX) is present in the
system.
Due to restrictions in the VE.Bus communication protocol only one device can access data such as
power readings.
A Venus device has priority over the dongle and should always be able to access all data. When power
is applied to the dongle - or after a firmware update - the dongle will startup in background mode.
VE.Bus communication ports will be monitored for 30 seconds. If during this time no Venus device is
detected the dongle will switch to primary mode, and all supported data will be available. While
switching modes VictronConnect will temporarily indicate an “unknown” VE.Bus state. The dongle
continuously monitors Venus device activity on the VE.Bus. As soon as a Venus device is detected it
will switch itself to background mode.
Likewise, the dongle also monitors VE.Bus communication in order to discover if a Venus device is
supplying the Multi with battery voltage and temperature data. It takes around 4 minutes after power
on, or reset, before the dongle decides whether or not to transmit the battery voltage and
temperature.
When no Multi is connected VictronConnect will list the 'VE.Bus Smart Dongle' in the device list. In this
case the dongle can be used as a Voltage/Temperature sensor.
