Connecting to old phoenix multiplus 12 1600 70 through mk2

Hello,

I want to set up two old phoenix multiplus 12 1600 70 inverters to operate in parallel.

I am running VEConfig/VE.Bus System Configurator/VE.Bus Quick Configure on a Win 7 machine. The MK2.2b is connects with a "USB to Com Port RS232 LogiLink Adapter" to the Win 7 machine and with a ethernet cable (cat5) to the multiplus.

The inverter switches off (green light turns off and the humming sound stops) as soon as the connection is made from the inverter to the MK2. ´The victron software sees the MK2, but can't find the inverter.

What am I doing wrong?

Do I need a special RS232 cable?

Hi there,

I've got the same problem. Did you ever solve this? I was able to configure the Phoenix some time ago but can't get the MK2 to connect now. It switches off as soon as I connect the MK2, even without anything connected to the USB side.

Thanks
