MultiPlus ll and MultiPlus ll GX in parallel???

Hallo

I have an ESS system with a Multiplus-ll 48/3000 / 35-32 on L1

and would like to set one more in parallel or on L2.

I have a 48/3000 / 35-32 GX

I want to hear if the two devices can run together or if a brand new one can run together with the old one I have.

They have the following number.


Multiplus-ll (it is running today with a Cerbo GX)

Multiplus-ll GX (the one I would like to add)

In general, yes you can use a MultiPlus GX with a MultiPlus.
To be sure, it is best to compare the VE.Bus firmware versions of the two devices and make sure they are the same.
Check on the vertical logic PCB and you can see a firmware number next to the PIC like in my picture. If the first four digits are the same (for example 2629xxx), then you can connect the two units in a multi phase system or parallel or whatever you want to do.
