Adding many Energy Meters to Ekrano (ET340)

Q&A and troubleshooting

Hi Everyone,

I have a client looking to use 15 x ET340 to measure consumption on an office block. They want to use VRM as the end user will be getting Victron systems and would like to get used to the platform.

I have not found any info on more than two meters connected. Is there any info about connecting multiple meters on one GX device. My brain wants to think that having each meter on its own cable to a powered USB hub could work, but I am unsure.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Jacques

You’ll want a EM24 ethernet version, then you can just network them all and you’re sorted.
Energy Meters VM-3P75CT, ET112, ET340, EM24 Ethernet & EM540 - Victron Energy

You can connect multiple, with victron usb to rs485 (eg. ET112) for modbus meters or ethernet (eg. EM24, victron vm) but dont know the maximum you can connect…

Thanks,

Do you know if the individual meters will show up on the Ekrano and VRM?
