How to Add second MPPT Charger to EasySolar II GX

Q&A and troubleshooting

Hi,
I’m looking to expand my current system.
I have an EasySolar II GX 48/5000 with an internal 250/100 VE.Can MPPT controller connected to a Pylontech battery bank.
Is it possible to add a second MPPT so I can add additional solar panels?
Can I do this by linking the two chargers using VE.Can?
Will the built in GX controller “see” the second charger and panels, or will I need to disable the onboard GX controller and use a Cerbo GX to get VRM access to everything?
Any advice appreciated.

Since the Easysolar has a GX device and VE.Can bus integrated, it should be possible to easily add another VE.Can enabled charge controller from the SmartSolar line.
The new device will show up in the GX device list and be accessible just as the integrated components are now.
Pretty much as close to “plug and play” as one can get with chargers.

Thanks
I was hoping that would be the case - I am assuming I just need to connect the two charge controllers using a VE.Can cable to daisy chain them.
Many thanks
