1 VE.Direct Protocol

VE.Direct commands
The frame format of the VE.Direct protocol has the following general format:
: [command] [data][data][…] [check]\n
Where the colon indicates the start of the frame and the newline is the end of frame. The sum of all
data bytes and the check must equal 0x55. Since the normal protocol is in text values the frames are
sent in their hexadecimal ASCII representation, [‘0’ .. ’9’], [‘A’ .. ’F’], must be uppercase. There is no
need to escape any characters.
: [command] [dataHighNibble, dataLowNibble][……] [checkHigh, checkLow] \n
Note: The command is only sent as a single nibble. Numbers are sent in Little Endian format. An error
response with value 0xAAAA is sent on framing errors.

Command Description
0 Enter boot 0x51FA51FA51FA51FA51FA as payload will enable bootloader mode.
Check for presence, the response is an ‘Rsp ping’ containing version
1 Ping
and firmware type. See the response ping message.
App Returns the version of the firmware as stored in the header in an ‘Rsp
3
version Done’ message.
Returns the Product Id of the firmware as stored in the header in an
4 Product Id
‘Rsp Done’ message.
6 Restart Restarts the device, no response is sent.
Returns a get response with the requested data or error is returned.
7 Get uint16 the id of the value to get
uint8 flags, should be set to zero
Returns a set response with the requested data or error is returned.
uint16 the id of the value to set
8 Set
uint8 flags, should be set to zero
type depends on id value
Asynchronous data message. Should not be replied.
uint16 the id of the value being returned
A Async
uint8 flags, defined below
type depends on id value
2, 5, 9, B-F reserved

VE.Direct responses are formatted in the same manner as commands, but use response codes.:
Response Description
1 Done Successful execution of the received command. Payload depends on
command.
3 Unknown Unknown command, data is the unknown command.
4 Error Frame error (payload=0xAAAA), unable to enter bootloader
(payload=0).
5 Ping The version number is directly interpreted from the hex representation,
e.g. 0x0101 is version 1.01. The two most significant bits indicate the
firmware type:
b00: bootloader
b01: application
b10: tester
b11: release candidate
In case of release candidate the lowest two bits of the highest nibble
together with type indicate the release candidate number. E.g. 0xD101
represents release candidate D of version 1.01.
Note that there can only be 4 release candidates per version.
uint16 id: of the value being returned
7 Get uint8 flags: defined below
type depends on id value
uint16 id of the value which was set
8 Set uint8 flags: defined below
type depends on id value

The following set / get flags are currently defined (reply):

Flag Name Meaning
0x01 Unknown Id The specified id does not exist
0x02 Not supported Attempting to write to a read only value
0x04 Parameter Error The new value is out of range or inconsistent

4
 Product ID values
The product ID (PID) defines whether firmware is compatible with the device.

Text Protocol
When no VE.Direct queries are sent to the device, the charger periodically sends human readable
(TEXT) data to the serial port. See the "VE.Direct Protocol" document for a detailed description of the
contents and availability of the information.

2 Inverter register description
The register in this chapter can be accessed for reading and/or writing by using the :Get (read) and
:Set (write) commands of the VE.Direct Protocol. Whether the connection is established by using the
actual VE.Direct-USB cable, or via a Bluetooth Dongle makes no difference.

Saving and Reverting registers

Registers used for user settings, need to be saved to none-volatile-memory (NVM) when modified.
Unlike for most Victron products a register with a changed setting is not automatically saved

After changing one or more settings it is required to execute the NvmSave command via
0xEB99. Until this command is executed the registers will revert to the old (last saved) value after a
power down cycle or reset.

2 NvmRevert Cancel modified settings.

3 NvmBackup Undo last save. Load second last time saved settings.
After an update of the FW it is possible the backup is not
available. Then the settings are reverted instead.
4 NvmDefault Load the factory default values.
Identical to VE_REG_RESTORE_DEFAULT 0x0004

2.1.2 Restore user defaults (register 0x0004)

When a write message is addressed to register Id 0x0004 all user settings of the device are restored
to the factory default values. Factory calibration data is preserved. The data part of this message is
not required and ignored.

has impact on the VE.Direct functionality. Communication can only be started when the device sends
a text frame, at least once per 30 seconds, or after pressing the User-button. As long as a VE.Direct

Note 3) Interval of the power test bursts when the Eco load search mode is active.

Note 4) Since version 1.17. Duration of a power test burst, when Eco load search mode is active,
expressed in number of periods of the AC-out frequency (either 50 or 60Hz). For some loads with a
delayed “turn-on” response, like dimmable LED-lightbulbs, it is required to enlarge the default value in
order to detect the load.

Note: Typically, set the CLEAR level higher than the search activate THRESHOLD to prevent
continues switching of the eco load search mode. The required minimal difference is load/inrush-

down.

exceeds this level the alarm is cleared, and the inverter will restart.
Note 4) Limits for all battery user threshold settings, e.g. VE_REG_ALARM_LOW_VOLTAGE_SET.
Out of range input levels will be clamped to these levels.

2.7.1 Dynamic cut-off enable (register 0xEBBA)

State Name Meaning
0 Disabled Shut down threshold is defined by
VE_REG_SHUTDOWN_LOW_VOLTAGE_SET
1 Enabled Shut down threshold is a function of the AC-out current.
The effective level can be obtained via register
VE_REG_INV_PROT_UBAT_DYN_CUTOFF_VOLTAGE

The dynamic cut off feature overrules the settings

VE_REG_SHUTDOWN_LOW_VOLTAGE_SET and
VE_REG_ALARM_LOW_VOLTAGE_SET.
The actual shutdown threshold is a function of the load current and can be obtained via register
VE_REG_INV_PROT_UBAT_DYN_CUTOFF_VOLTAGE
