ABB B24 meter registers not reflecting grid feed-in & incorrect export "To Grid" data on VRM

SETUP

Cerbo GX, V3.00~14
ABB B24 energy meter

ISSUES

When exporting excess energy to the grid, the energy pushed back to the grid does not reflect on the shown meter registers.
Exported energy does not show on the VRM dashboard.

SCREENSHOTS: DEVICE > ENERGY METER

SCREENSHOTS: VRM DASHBOARD

At 14h03

At 14h15, no grid feed-in shown on the dashboard, yet the system has been pushing back excess energy since the first screenshot at 14h03

What is the exact model number of your energy meter? There are multiple versions of the B24 meter, is it possible that you purchased a model that doesn't have the separate import/export registers?

Hello,

Thanks for the help. The variant of the B24 installed does not have the export registers.

The Victron documentation states that you need the "silver" variant and that the "steel" version is not suitable. That said, if you look at the datasheet, the "bronze" version also has import/export registers. In your case, I assume you have a "steel" version.
