Can Frequency Shift reduce Multiplus export

I would like to use Multiplus-ii on a microgrid but we have requirement that if the microgrid frequency shifts that we stop exporting. Is there a way to make the Multiplus do that or disconnect if grid frequency above 53hz?

If not, can this be a feature request?

From what I can see the Multi /quattro range cant do this with the existing equipment. However

if you can find a frequency controlled relay then you could trigger AC1 to open .

ie if freq goes above say 52.9 then the device closes a relay and this relay is connected to the Multi AUX 1 and then use a assistant to open ac1 in if Aux1 input is closed

Thanks, this is a decent solution.

Still hoping Victron would make an assistant to do this.

If I have understood correctly, it seems to be already possible if using the Australian grid code....
