+ | |||
+ | This chapter explains the specifics of NMEA2000 when connecting Victron to a Raymarine MFD. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === 7.1. Generic and supported PGNs === | ||
+ | To setup the data sources on the Raymarine, go to //Settings > Network > Sources > Advanced...// | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you have more than 1 battery be sure to adjust the settings of the Axiom to the correct amount of battery(banks). | ||
+ | |||
+ | The following Victron related PGNs are supported by Raymarine: | ||
+ | * 127505 - Fluid level (tank levels) | ||
+ | * 127506 - DC Detailed Status (State-of-charge, | ||
+ | * 127507 - Charger status | ||
+ | * 127508 - Battery Status (Battery Voltage, Battery Current) | ||
+ | * 127509 - Inverter status | ||
+ | |||
+ | This PGN is not supported by Raymarine: | ||
+ | * J1939 - AC data | ||

+ | |||
+ | === 7.2. Instancing requirements when using Raymarine === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Fluid instancing details: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Raymarine i70: max number of tank levels is 5; fluid instance 0-4 and type must be fuel. | ||
+ | * Raymarine i70s: max number of tank levels is 5; fluid instance 0-4 and type must be fuel. | ||
+ | * Axiom MFDs: per Lighthouse version 4.1.75, a maximum of 16 tanks can be connected; fluid instance 0-15. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== LightHouse 4.1.75 and newer versions ==== | ||
+ | As of LightHouse version 4.1.75, the battery instances no longer need to be unique. This means that you can leave the battery instance to its default value, which is typically set to 0. The batteries are automatically detected by the Axiom display. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== LightHouse 4.1.74 and prior versions ==== | ||
+ | If there are more than 1 (for example) SmartShunts in the NMEA2000 network, or a Solar Charger and a SmartShunt, or any other device that transmits the same type of PGNs, then the Data instances of those PGNs need to changed to make each data instance unique. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Typically this concerns the Battery instance, used in the Battery Status and DC Detailed PGNs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | See here for how to do that: [[https:// |
