For a detailed list of PGNs, please refer to our data communication whitepaper.
Inverter/chargers
All inverter/chargers that connect using a VE.Bus port are supported. This includes Multis, Quattros,
MultiPlus-IIs, and other (similar) Victron inverter/chargers.
Data is transmitted out; and its possible to set shore current as well as switch the inverter charger on,
off, inverter only and charger only.
The interface has two functions:
1. The function, "153 Inverter", represents the AC-output
2. The function "154 AC Input" monitor represents the AC-input
Charger Status messages will be sent by the Inverter function. Both functions have their own network
address.
Since both functions transmit the same PGNs, for example an AC Status PGN containing voltage,
current and more information, NMEA 2000 data consumers like generic displays will need to be able
to make a distinction based on the network address. Depending on the function belonging to that
network address the need to interpret it as either Inverter Input or Inverter Output. Displays not being
capable of doing so will regard the data as belonging to the mains (utility). The Inverter Output is then
interpreted as utility #0 and Inverter Input as utility #1. These default instance numbers can be
changed by a network configuration tool if necessary.
Inverters
Only VE.Bus type inverters are supported: any Inverter connected using VE.Direct is not (yet) made
available on the N2K bus.
Battery monitors
Supported. This includes any battery monitor as supported by the GX Device.
Solar chargers
Not yet supported by the NMEA2000-out function but in the works and expected after in a firmware
update after the summer of 2020.
Tank level data
Not yet supported by the NMEA2000-out function but in the works and expected after in a firmware
update after the summer of 2020.
