Setting the LYNK II Communication Protocol for Victron Energy Devices

Victron Protocol Configuration Procedure

  1. Download the current version of LYNK ACCESS software from the Discover Energy Systems website to get the most up-to-date suite of available protocol configurations.

  2. Using a USB cable with a Type-B mini-plug, connect the 64-bit Windows 10/11 device with the LYNK ACCESS software to the USB port on the LYNK II communication gateway. Ensure the LYNK II is powered and connected to the correct Victron COM port (VE.Can).

Connect LYNK II to USB Port

  1. Open LYNK ACCESS and confirm that only one LYNK device is connected to the computer.

  2. Select the LYNK tab for optional configuration and settings. Select the blue gear icon in the upper right area of the CAN Settings tile.

  3. Select the pre-configured Victron protocol and the baud rate (250 or 500 kbps) to complete the closed-loop configuration for LYNK II, then click SAVE.

NOTE

  • In most cases, the communication speed for the Victron protocol should be 250 kbps to match the networked Victron devices. However, if communication cannot be established at that speed, the Victron device may require a communication speed of 500 kbps.

  • Saving configuration changes in LYNK ACCESS automatically forces the LYNK II to restart.
