 ====== GX - Fischer Panda generators ====== ====== GX - Fischer Panda generators ======
  
-Fischer Panda generator can be connected to a GX Device, which makes it possible to monitor & operate the generator as well as automatically start and stop it. +The old GX - Fischer Panda generators document has been removed and is now part of the GX device manual, which can be found here: [[https://www.victronenergy.com/media/pg/Cerbo_GX/en/connecting-supported-non-victron-products.html#UUID-4dadee56-232c-c5dd-1df6-5357b8ed4914 Fischer Panda Generator Support]]
- +
-The generator needs to be connected to the VE.Can port of the GX Device, which requires a Fischer Panda SAE J1939 module. +
- +
-===== Requirements ===== +
-  * [[venus-os:start|GX Device]], with firmware v2.07 or later +
-  * Fischer Panda generator, xControl or iGenerator +
-  * Fischer Panda SAE J1939 CAN module (part number 0006107) +
-  * Fischer Panda FP-Bus to VE.Can adapter (part number 0023441) +
- +
- +
-Fischer Panda Firmware requirements: +
-  * iControl (for the iGenerator): v2.17 minimum +
-  * iControl panel: no minimum requirement +
-  * xControl (for the constant speed generators): 4V38 minimum +
-  * xContr panel: 4V29 +
-  * Fischer Panda SAE J1939 CAN module: 2V05 +
-  * Fischer Panda three phase module: 4V0b +
-===== Connecting ===== +
- +
-==== xControl ==== +
-The schematic below shows how to connect a Fischer Panda xControl generator. +
-{{:ccgx:xcontrol_connection.png?650|}} +
- +
-==== iControl ==== +
-The schematic below shows how to connect a Fischer Panda iControl generator. +
-{{:ccgx:icontrol_connection.png?650|}} +
- +
-**:!: Important: Operation of the generator is only possible and allowed when the xControl or the iControl panel is switched on. ** +
-===== GX Device ===== +
- +
-In Settings -> Services, the selected canbus profile must be one that says NMEA2000. (The default). +
- +
-When all wiring is complete and the setup has been correctly carried-out, the Fischer Panda will show up in the device list: +
- +
-{{:ccgx:fischerpanda-devicelist_29648454.png?400|}} +
- +
-Entering the Fischer Panda device on the menu reveals a page like this: +
- +
-{{:ccgx:fischerpanda-menu_29648486.png?400|}} +
- +
-Notice that it features an on/off switch as well as displaying status information, and the main AC parameters: voltage, current and power.  +
- +
-Engine temperature, RPM and additional information are all available by entering the //Engine// sub menu item. +
- +
-{{:ccgx:fischerpanda-enginemenu.png?400|}} +
-===== Generator start/stop ===== +
-In addition to the manual start/stop and monitoring, there is also an automatic start/stop feature. This has the same comprehensive range of options as the Generator start/stop feature associated with the GX relay. +
-See [[ccgx:generator_start_stop]] for the manual+
- +
-{{:ccgx:fischerpanda-generatoroverview.png?400|}} +
- +
-===== Maintenance ===== +
-Whenever performing maintenance on the generator, be sure to //stop// the generator from the Fischer Panda control panel. This will disable the Fischer Panda autostart feature, and ensures that the generator cannot be remotely started - by a CCGX, for example.  +
- +
-When the maintenance is completed, make sure you enable the autostart feature again. You can do this on the Fischer Panda control panel in the menu ''generator -> autostart -> turn on / off''+
- +
-===== MFD App ==== +
- +
-The Marine MFD HTML5 app (more information [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ccgx:start#marine_mfd_integration_by_app|here]]) also contains an element which allows monitoring as well as control of the Fischer Panda generator: +
- +
-{{ :ccgx:fischer_panda_control.png?nolink |}} +
-===== Troubleshooting ===== +
- +
-=== I've set the mode of the genset to 'On' or 'Auto start/stop' but the generator is not starting/running. === +
-Make sure the Fischer Panda autostart feature is on, this allows the GX control the remote on/off of the genset. You can find this option on the control panel in the menu ''generator -> autostart -> turn on / off''+
- +
-If you're manually trying to start the genset, a toast message appears with the text ''AutoStart functionality is currently disabled, enable it on the genset panel in order to start the genset from this menu''+
-{{:ccgx:fischerpanda-fpautostart_disabled2.png?400|}} +
- +
-If the generator auto start/stop is enabled, it will show error ''#1 Remote switch control disabled'' on the Auto start/stop page. +
