 ====== Raymarine MFD Integration ======
-===== 1. Introduction =====
+https://www.victronenergy.com/media/pg/Cerbo_GX/en/marine-mfd-integration-by-app.html#UUID-906e773b-f29c-2b77-56a8-d9ade87cc418
-This document explains how to connect to Raymarine MFDs using an Ethernet connection. Also, the last chapter explains the Raymarine specifics when connecting on NMEA2000.
-The integration technology used is called [[http://www.raymarine.com/multifunction-displays/lighthouse3/lighthouse-apps.html|LightHouse Apps]] by Raymarine.
-Make sure to also study the [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ccgx:start#marine_mfd_integration_by_app|Marine MFD Integration by App chapter in the manual]].
-Note that there is an alternative method to connect, which is NMEA2000. See the [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ccgx:start#marine_mfd_integration_by_nmea_2000|NMEA2000 chapter in the main manual]], as well as the last chapter in this manual.
-===== 2. Compatibility =====
-The MFD integration is compatible with the Axiom, Axiom Pro and Axiom XL MFDs running on LightHouse 3. The eS & gS Series multifunction displays which have been upgraded to LightHouse 3 are **not** compatible.
-Raymarine MFDs need at least LightHouse v3.11 for compatibility, which was released in November 2019.
-From Victron side, all GX devices (Cerbo GX, CCGX, Venus GX, and so forth) can be used and are compatible. For details on detailed product compatibility with regarding to inverter/chargers and other components, see the [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ccgx:start#marine_mfd_integration_by_app|main Marine MFD App chapter in the GX Manual]].
-===== 3. Wiring =====
-The MFD needs to be connected to the [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/venus-os:start|GX device]] using ethernet. It is **not** possible to connect over Wi-Fi. For the ethernet connection, a RayNet adapter is required.
-The RayNet adapters can be purchased from Raymarine:
-  * A62360 - RayNet (F) to RJ45 (M) - 1m
-  * A80151 - RayNet (F) to RJ45 (M) - 3m
-  * A80159 - RayNet (F) to RJ45 (M) - 10m
-  * A80247 - RayNet (F) to RJ45 (F) Adapter
-  * A80513 - RayNet male to RJ45 adaptor cable
-To connect the [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/venus-os:start|GX device]] to the internet as well, use Wi-Fi. If the Axiom MFD is connected to internet (using Wi-Fi), it will automatically share its connection with the GX device over ethernet.
-:!: Connecting a Axiom MFD to a network router over Ethernet leads to IP address conflicts, due to the integrated DHCP server in the Axiom MFD.
-:!: It is not possible to use a [[https://www.victronenergy.com/accessories/gx-gsm|GX GSM]], due to the integrated DHCP server in the Axiom MFD.
-**Note: As of Raymarine LightHouse v3.15, there is an option to toggle DHCP. Disabling this option does not mean that the Axiom MFD will work with third party network routers. See [[https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/45414/raymarine-victron-app.html?childToView=114335#comment-114335|this]] post on Victron Community for more information.**
-===== 4. Configuration =====
-On the Victron GX Device, go to //Settings → Services//, and there enable both //MQTT on LAN (SSL)// and //MQTT on LAN (Plaintext)//.
-{{:venus-os:venus-html5-mqtt.png?400|}}
-Next, go to Menu -> Settings -> System Setup -> Battery Measurements. And there set up what batteries you want to see on the MFD; and by what name.
-{{:venus-os:venus-html5-batteries1.png?400|}}
-{{:venus-os:venus-html5-batteries2.png?400|}}
-No other settings, such as IP addresses or similar are required, since the Axiom MFDs have an integrated DHCP server.
-===== 5. Configuring Multiple Battery Measurements =====
-This video explains how to setup multiple battery measurements, and naming them.

-After connecting the Ethernet cable the GX device receives an IP number (10.x.x.x) from the Axiom DHCP.
-If you start the Victron App on the Axiom and it shows "hardware devices not found", just restart the Axiom and see... it works!
-===== 7. NMEA 2000 =====
-Besides connecting over ethernet, a Raymarine MFD can also be connected to the Victron system using NMEA 2000. If you’re new to NMEA2000 & Victron, start with reading the [[ve.can:nmea-2000:start|]].
-This chapter explains the specifics of NMEA2000 when connecting Victron to a Raymarine MFD.
-=== 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, Time-to-go)
-  * 127508 - Battery Status (Battery Voltage, Battery Current)
-This PGN is not supported by Raymarine:
-  * J1939 - AC data
-When the NMEA2000/STNG network has GPS data the GX device sees this as a GPS source and is able to use the GPS position in VRM.
-=== Raymarine only: data instances need to made unique ===
-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://www.victronenergy.com/live/ve.can:changing_nmea2000_instances|Changing NMEA2000 Instances]], section Data instances. This requires an [[https://actisense.com/products/ngt-1-nmea-2000-to-pc-interface/|Actisense NGT-1 NMEA to USB interface]].
-**Note**: this requirement of data instances being globally unique for a PGN is specific to Raymarine. Other brands do not require this. And, although perhaps besides the point, also the NMEA2000 standard does not require it. More specifically, it says: "Data instances shall be unique in the same PGNs transmitted by a device. Data instances shall not be globally unique on the network.".
