  The firmware version is an important aspect for VictronConnect’s optimal performance.

  You need firmware version 415 or higher for complete functionality, including data readout, setting changes, and firmware updates.

  This version is only available for VE.Bus products with a new microcontroller (marked by a 7-digit software number starting with 26 or 27).

  For older models with microcontrollers starting with 19 or 20, you’re limited to data readout, and you can’t modify settings or update firmware.

  Products with even older microcontrollers (starting with 18xxxxx) aren’t supported at all in VictronConnect.

  So, it’s essential to check your device’s firmware version before diving in.

  For Basic Systems: If you’re running a system that primarily uses Virtual Switch functionality, you’ll likely be working with firmware versions in the range of xxxx1xx or xxxx4xx. The xxxx1xx firmware works with both old and new microprocessor types. However, the xxxx4xx firmware is specifically for new microprocessors (26/27 family groups) and is the successor of xxxx1xx.

  For Advanced Systems (like Energy Storage):

  You’ll need firmware versions xxxx4xx. Keep in mind, this is exclusive to new microprocessors (26/27 family groups).

  For Complex Systems with Old Microprocessors:

  Use firmware version xxxx2xx. When you load this firmware, it will replace the Virtual Switch tab with the Assistants tab in VEConfigure.

  Compatibility in Three- and Split-Phase Systems:

  Units with both old and new microprocessors can be mixed in these setups without issues. However, you cannot mix Virtual Switch firmware (100 – 199) with Assistant firmware (200 – 499). It’s crucial to use the same and latest firmware version across all units in the system.

  Firmware Numbering System: The firmware number, like 1941143, is broken down as follows:

  • ’19’ denotes the family group number (indicating old microprocessor, 230VAC),

  • ’41’ refers to the model (in this case, Quattro 24/3000/70-50/30)

  • ‘143’ represents the firmware version.
