Description
xVictron Energy Nucleo GX
The Nucleo GX is a compact, high-performance GX device from Victron Energy, offering Ekrano GX-level speed at a lower cost through a focused set of onboard connections. Powered by a quad-core processor, it is built for ESS and off-grid installations centred on the Multi RS and other VE.Can-based systems, giving installers full GX functionality with simple setup and remote access via VRM, LAN or WiFi.
Key Features
- Quad-core processor for fast, reliable system performance
- Onboard I/O: 2 x VE.Can, 2 x VE.Direct, 3 x USB, Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth and a MicroSD card slot
- Connects up to 25 devices via VE.Direct and USB, with further devices supported via VE.Can
- Full remote access through the VRM Portal Remote Console, the VictronConnect app, or a web browser
- Real-time monitoring of battery status, power consumption and PV, generator or mains input
- Automated generator start/stop, plus alerts and diagnostics via VRM or the local network
- Headless design (no built-in display), ideal where monitoring is handled remotely or via a separate panel
- Compact and lightweight at 0.18 kg, with simple wall or DIN35 rail mounting
- Bluetooth setup via VictronConnect
Please note: in its standard configuration, the Nucleo GX does not include a VE.Bus port, HDMI port, relays, or tank, digital or temperature inputs. VE.Bus connectivity, required for direct communication with VE.Bus inverter/chargers such as the MultiPlus and Quattro, can be added using the optional MK3-USB interface. Additional I/O can be added via the GX I/O Extender 150 and GX Tank 140 accessories, and local display and control without HDMI is available via the optional Android GX WiFi Display.
Product Overview
The Nucleo GX runs Victron's Venus OS, the same operating system used across the wider GX range, giving it access to real-time system data, VRM cloud connectivity, DVCC (Distributed Voltage and Current Control) and integration with compatible battery management systems. Because it has no integrated display, it is typically used in installations where the system is monitored remotely via the VRM portal, through a web browser, or with a GX Touch or Android GX WiFi Display connected separately.
Its focused I/O set and compact footprint make it a cost-effective alternative to larger GX devices for VE.Can-based systems, particularly those built around the Multi RS. Where a system needs several of the optional USB accessories to reach full functionality (for example VE.Bus, tank sensing and digital inputs together), it is often more practical and cost-effective to specify a larger GX device such as the Cerbo GX or Ekrano GX instead, both in terms of unit price and long-term reliability.

Installation and Safety Notes
The Nucleo GX should be installed by a qualified electrician or experienced Victron installer familiar with the Venus OS ecosystem and Victron system architecture. Ensure all connected Victron devices are running compatible firmware before commissioning. VRM portal connectivity requires an active internet connection via Ethernet or a compatible USB WiFi adapter. If your installation requires VE.Bus connectivity, tank sensing, digital inputs or relays, confirm the correct optional accessory (or consider a larger GX device) before ordering, as these are not built into the standard Nucleo GX. Refer to Victron's official Nucleo GX documentation for full supported hardware and network configuration requirements.
