13. Marine MFD integration by App

13.1. Introduction & requirements
A Glass Bridge is a MFD (Multi-Function Display) that integrates a boat's systems and navigation status into a large screen or
screens at the helm of the vessel, so doing away with multiple gauges, brackets and wiring complications.
A Victron system can be easily integrated into a MFD as can be seen in this video:
Functionalities:
• Monitor shore power and generator status.
• Monitor battery status for one or more batteries. By using the voltage of for example battery chargers, it can also visualise
secondary batteries such as Generator starter batteries.
• Monitor the power conversion equipment: chargers, inverters, inverter/chargers.
• Monitor solar production from an MPPT Solar Charger.
• Monitor AC loads, and DC loads.
• Control shore power input current limit.
• Control the inverter/charger: switch it off, on, or set it to charger-only.
• Optionally open the Victron Remote Console panel; allowing access to further parameters.
Please note that monitoring and control of AC chargers connected via VE.Direct or VE.Can (this applies to Phoenix IP43 Smart
Chargers and the Skylla series) only works when shore power is connected.
Victron equipment compatibility:
• All Victron inverter/chargers: From a 500VA single-phase device up to a large 180kVA three-phase-system, including Multis,
Quattros, 230VAC and 120VAC models.
• Battery Monitors: BMV-700, BMV-702, BMV-712, SmartShunt, and newer, Lynx Shunt VE.Can, Lynx Ion BMS, Lynx Smart BMS
• All Victron MPPT Solar Charge Controllers
Required components:
• Battery system
• Victron GX device (all models are compatible)
• Victron Inverter/charger
