There is some information already asked about this topic, but not a lot of answers (some dead links etc)
Background - using a Cerbo to interface into Czone in order to bring across data from Cerbo, this is a trial/ test benching with a manufacturer that already uses Czone, and we are trying to get Victron power products over the line instead of Master volt, which I know works seamlessly with Czone.
Test bench has 12/1200-50 Multiplus, Cerbo GX, Smartshunt, and a 75/15 Smart MPPT, with a COI and Touch 7 from Czone. Multiplus is using VE.Bus, rest are VE.Direct connected to Cerbo.
VE.Can to NMEA2K cable being used to connect Cerbo to NMEA2K network. This is sending battery information perfectly, box 1 ticked...
Known factor causing issues - Czone still use some deprecated PGN's - particularly I am looking at 127503, 127504 on Czone that are now 65013, 65014, for AC Voltage, frequency, power etc.
Cerbo has OS large loaded, I can see the 65013/65014 data is being sent on the NMEA2K network.
Question is: can signal K / node red be used to duplicate the 65013/65014 data into a "spoof" 127503/127504 PGN and send it to the network in order for the Czone to pick it up.
This is probably beyond my personal limitations in programming, but once I have a script and some instruction, I am sure it can be replicated going forward.
I have touched base with the local Czone tech team to request that PGN's should be updated so that this won't be an issue in future, but doubt that it will come to anything any time soon.
Their suggestion was to look at maybe using a Master bus/Czone bridge interface and turn on the alternate PGN setting. I have not got one to try this with as yet, and would prefer not to, as I would have to separate into two networks to use the MBI, and it's another layer and product to have to install.
any ideas or programming wizards that can tell me one way or the other?
cheers
