Victron Energy’s Venus OS v3.50 release brings powerful new diagnostic tools that make monitoring, controlling, and troubleshooting your energy system easier. These upgrades, accessible directly on your GX device’s display or remotely through the Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal, provide valuable insights that enhance system health and performance. Whether in marine, RV, or off-grid applications, here’s everything you need to know about this new diagnostic tool.
Advanced System Health Checks
The Energy Venus introduces a System Health Check Dashboard that summarizes the system’s operational status quickly. It provides clear insights into system components that require attention, making troubleshooting more efficient. The dashboard highlights critical areas like battery health, charge controllers, and inverter performance. The holistic view reduces the need for detailed manual checks, allowing faster issue detection and resolution. This allows for rapid identification of potential issues, reduces downtime, and helps consumers maintain a more reliable system.
Improved Data Storage
The Venus OS v3.50 release offers refined data logging and storage capabilities. This upgrade means more detailed data is stored over extended periods, capturing a broader and more nuanced picture of system performance. Users can now review a history of key performance metrics, helping them identify recurring issues or performance trends. This allows users to spot and address performance trends, leading to smarter energy management and system reliability.
Better Security
The new release improves local network security for Venus OS by adding HTTPS security to the Remote Console on LAN. Additionally, the related settings have been simplified into a single new setting. Password protection for MQTT provides additional security for third-party integrations.
Remote Access
Victron Remote Management (VRM) allows users and technicians to perform more advanced remote diagnostics. Technicians can access system data and perform troubleshooting steps remotely, minimizing the need for on-site visits. This invaluable feature enables remote problem-solving, saving time and potential travel costs associated with on-site support.
Maintains Battery Health
The enhanced Battery Management System (BMS) diagnostics provide better insights into battery health and operation for lithium battery users. The BMS diagnostics now capture more data points on cell balancing, state of charge, and temperature, giving consumers a complete picture of their battery’s condition. This improvement reduces the chance of unexpected power issues, helps extend battery life, and ensures reliable power when it’s needed most.
New User Interface
The most significant change in the new release is the new graphical user interface (UI). The UI brings a modern look, improved functionality, and a faster, more responsive experience. It simplifies navigation and enhances the visibility of system data with a cleaner, more intuitive layout. It also brings a modern look and improved functionality to GX Touch and Ekrano GX displays.
