How to get more CAN/BUS ports with Cerbo GX

Hello everyone,


I have a Cerbo GX that is currently receiving/sending inputs from 5 MPPT controllers, a BMS, and Battery Monitor. I'm all out of places to plug more items in and I have plans in the future for more solar and possibly a connected alternator regulator.



I've already utilized the USB for an additional port for an MPPT, so wanted to see what others were doing when they run out of ports? Are we running two Cerbos, etc?


Thanks

We have 7 MPPTs and 1 50A charger plugged into the 10 port version of the above.

can bus can take as many as you want... it's dasiy chained with terminators at each end. you don't "use up the ports" ve bus is the same but no terminators. more ve direct can go into usb ports or usb hub

you can't run 2 cerbos
