The Color Control GX is the communication-centre of your installation. It offers at-a-glance live information, and lets you control all products connected to it.
Original name: Color Control GX
Original code: BPP010300100R
Color Control GX
The Color Control (CCGX) provides intuitive control and monitoring for all Victron power systems.
The list of Victron products that can be connected is endless: Inverters, Multis, Quattros, MPPT solar
chargers, BMV battery monitors, Lynx Ion + Shunt and more.
VRM Online Portal
Besides monitoring and controlling products locally on the CCGX itself, all readings are also
forwarded to our free remote monitoring website: the VRM Online Portal. To get an impression, try
the demo on https://vrm.victronenergy.com. See also the screenshots below.
Remote Console on VRM
Monitor, control and configure the CCGX remotely, over the internet. Just like standing in front of the
device, everything can also be done remotely. The same functionality is also available on the local
network, Remote Console on LAN.
Victron Remote Management: VRM
Remote VEConfigure using VRM
Automatic genset start/stop
A highly customizable start/stop system. Use state of charge, voltage, load and other parameters.
Define a special set of rules for quiet times, and optionally a monthly test run.
When connected to the internet, all data is sent to the VRM Portal. When there is no internet
connection available, the CCGX will store the data internally, up to 48 hours. By inserting a micro SDcard or USB stick, more data can be stored. These files can then be uploaded to the VRM Portal, or
offline converted with the VictronConnect app, for analysis.
Supported products
Multis and Quattros, including split-phase and three-phase systems. Monitoring and control
(on/off and current limiter). Changing configuration is possible (only remotely via the internet,
not without an internet connection).
BlueSolar MPPT Solar Chargers with a VE.Direct port.
BlueSolar MPPT 150/70 and the MPPT 150/85 with VE.Can port. When multiple BlueSolar
MPPTs with VE.Can are used in parallel, the all information is combined as one. See also our
blog-post about synchronizing multiple MPPT 150/70 solar chargers.
BMV-700 family can be connected directly to the VE.Direct ports on the CCGX. Use the
VE.Direct Cable for this.
BMV-600 family can be connected to the VE.Direct ports on the CCGX. Requires an accessory
cable.
Lynx Ion + Shunt
Lynx Shunt VE.Can
Skylla-i battery chargers
NMEA2000 tank sensors
A USB GPS can be connected to the USB port. Location and speed will be visible on the display,
and the data is sent to the VRM Portal for tracking purposes. The map on VRM will show the
latest position.
Fronius PV Inverters
When more than two VE.Direct products must be connected, USB can be used.
Remotely update VE.Direct firmware
Connecting a Victron GX Device online and setting up a GX GSM
Internet connection
The CCGX can be connected to internet with an Ethernet cable and via Wi-Fi. To connect via Wi-Fi, a
Wi-Fi USB accessory is required. The CCGX has no internal cellular modem: there is no slot for a simcard. Use an off-the-shelf GPRS or 3G router instead. See the blog post about 3G routers.
Other highlights
The CCGX can automatically update itself from the internet, when there is a new software
version available.
