7. Marine MFD integration by NMEA 2000
Since Venus OS v2.40, our GX Devices feature an NMEA 2000-out function. This section will be
expanded later, for now read the v2.40 blogpost.
Use our VE.Can to NMEA2000 micro-C male cable to connect the GX Device to the NMEA 2000
network, hereafter referred to as N2K for brevity.
Compared to the integration using the App, as explained in the previous chapter, integration via N2K
offers a more customisable configuration. This being at the cost of more hassle in doing such
configuration, as well as making sure all PGNs and fields therein are supported and compatible
between the Victron system and the MFD.
Supported devices / PGNs
Inverter/chargers
Includes Multis, Quattros, Multiplus-IIs, and so forth.
Data is transmitted out; and its possible to set shore current as well as switch the inverter charger on,
