Luxury Yacht Installation - equipment fitted:
- 106kWh of 48V Pylontech Batteries
- 3 x paralleled 1ph Quattro 48V 15kVA
- CerboGX & GX Touch
- 2 x Generators G1 & G2
- 2 x Shore Inlets SS1 & SS2
We have a PLC/HMI controlled power management system that supplies "Either" generator or shore power (G1 or SS1) to Quattro AC-In 1 and same for AC-In 2 (G2 or SS2). PLC/HMI is reading Modbus data from CerboGX. All is working well, except the CerboGX "of course" shows Generator on the GX touch display when AC-In 1 is in use, and Shore when AC-In 2 is in use (but it may be a generator).
Question:
Can I somehow configure an input - either hard-wired, but preferably a Modbus input - to the CerboGX so that it displays "Generator" whenever a generator is supplying either Quattro AC Input and conversely "Shore" on either input when Shore Power is supplying Quattro's?
Note:
I can easily provide the required Modbus write value to Cerbo if a suitable register is available, but if hard-wire is also possible, this can be done but will require a cable to be run-in.
The system arrangement description has been simplified in the above, and is a bit more complex than easily described here.
