Setup:
- MultiPlus 48/5000/70-100
- Cerbo GX
- CAN bus connected battery
- 2kW generator for backup charging
- 1-0-2 switcher for input change (generator/shore)
I have two input modes with unique settings (taken from VE Configure 3):
- Shore input:
- Input Current Limit: 50A
- UPS: On
- Weak AC: Off
- Charge curve: Fixed
- Generator input:
- Input Current Limit: 8A
- UPS: Off
- Weak AC: On
- Charge curve: Adaptive
I need to change these settings on the fly, without a human involvement.
1st option is default obviously.
How it can be done:
- A user uses 1-0-2 selector switch to use generator.
- Cerbo GX gets signal generator is ON.
- On this event, the system changes settings.
- A user gets back to coffee w/o noticing changes =)
And another case, when "A user uses 1-0-2 selector switch to use shore power".
Questions:
- Which selector switch shall I use to send a signal to Cerbo (step 1)?
- Where I can send this signal on Cerbo GX (step 2, assuming it won't be complicated)?
- How to implement/setup this logic (step 3, most complicated for me)?
- How to create a custom trigger on "generator is on" event?
- How to define these configuration settings within this trigger?
Bash scripts, python, etc, anything is welcome. :)
