The names for the digital inputs are all pre-defined but there is no option for , for example, 'Other'. Could this be added as there is a high probability that an input will be used for something that is not defined in the list - I can think of lots of possibilities.
Also, in the Modbus TCP register list, register 3424 Type the generator type 9 is missing.
Try the following:
This is all very great, unfortunately in VRM alarms those names are not getting processed.
Just the alarm history page shows the custom name, even not in a very clear way.
In the alarm header and in the email of VRM there are just the generic descriptions.
Not very handy in case of a bilge alarm or burgler alarm, you / customer first have to login to VRM and go to alarm history to understand whats going on. (or yes, directly to Cerbo Remote-Console)
Kind of the same with relays. They can't be named at all, so no help for customer what relays is for what:
Ok, great, that works for renaming and giving a sensible name.
It's not reflected in the modbus data though. I selected Bilge pump (returns 3 in register 3424) and renamed my input to Fan. The modbus still returns a 3 as the Cerbo thinks it is still a pump type even though it's renamed.
I realise this is what is expected but I think if you can customise a name then you should be able to change its type number as well (for a custom one) as if you are using modbus then there is no way to determine the fan is not a pump.
Also, for whoever maintains the modbus register list, don't forget type 9 (generator) is missing.
