MultiPlus not Showing AC Information on NMEA

I have a network with a Multiplus conected to a Cerbo, which is connected to an NMEA network. NMEA is turned on.

I'm not seeing the MultiPlus AC data on the network. I have interrogated the network and it appears the Multiplus outputs AC data on PGNs 65013, 65014 and 65016. However, the network requires AC data on PGNs 127503 and 127504, which are teh normal AC Input and Output PGNs.

Has anyone seen this before and know of a resolution?

As per NMEA 2000 standards PGNs 127503 and 127504 should no longer be used and are replaced by parameter groups defined in SAE J1939-75 (J1939 is the standard that defines CANbus communication, this includes NMEA 2000), and should not be used for new designs.

So that's most likely the reason you see PGNs 65013, 65014 and 65016 for AC In and Out.
