I have a Victron CCGX along with a MPPT 150/85. I also have an Onan 8000k generator. Im looking for a SIMPLE solution to incorporating my CCGX with an auto-start/stop function on the generator. Upon digging online, and within this forum, I found some schematics where you can use relays to make this happen. I don't want to get involved with making a solution, I'd rather buy a 'box' that I can plug both my generator into along with the CCGX. Does anyone here know if such a solution exists?
I used an universal (for all brands) solution from bernini-design.com Or you must use an Onan solution
Can you ad a link to such drawing, and possibly identify the relays?
A lot will depend on what signal your Onan requires to Stop/Start. For example the Onan might require a close signal for 3 seconds
This is a job for a PLC (Programmable logic controller ) there are lots available try RS components. modern PLCs are not difficult to program. They will easily replicate what you do on the start panel to operate the Onan
Here is a solution for auto start Onan generator with CCGX that I found that is plug n play vs dealing directly with time delay relays.
it should be more widely advertised, and promoted by Victron IMO, so I’m spreading the word.

Thanks for the information and link for this Onan auto start/stop, has anyone installed this and verified it’s a plug and play.
