specifically so I can see any follow ups to @ptrenz comment:
“due to the high demand, we are right now working on adding support for the DSE 4520 MKII. As this specific model does not support starting and stopping via Modbus, it will use one of the GX relays for the start/stop signal. Therefore, it will require some additional wiring in contrast to the other DSE models. I will keep you informed.”
Hi @glenborrodaleit, thanks! I’m happy to let you know, that development work is almost completed and this feature will be available for beta testing soon.
Here is a preview of how it will work:
The DSE 4520 MKII will get available in the device list as soon as it was found via Settings > Modbus TCP/UDP devices, as with all other connected genset controllers. As it does not allow start/stop commands via Modbus, you will be prompted to enable a new relay function for Relay 1: Connected genset helper relay. After wiring the GX Relay 1 to the genset controller, the generator can thereby be started and stopped.
Hi @arboldoly, not yet in a stable release. But since the beta release of v3.60~21, we support basically all DSE controllers except for the DSE8xxx range. With the upcoming release of v3.60, it will then be officially supported. Feel free to give it a try!
Hi @ptrenz ,
When will 3.60 be officially released, this version works with the dse6110 MKIII.
I want to make it work in a system with 4 MG(304ah) LFP batteries with a Master lv distributor on 3 Quattro’s for a small passenger boat. But I don’t know if the beta version is stable enough.
Hi @Remy, welcome at the community forum! Unfortunately, we do not specify future release dates here, sorry. Also see our community guidelines on that.
Just picking up the conversation from this thread regarding integration with deep sea electronics controllers specifically the DSE 4520 MKII.
@ptrenz mentioned that due to high demand, support for this model is in the works. Since it doesn’t support start/stop over Modbus, it’ll use one of the GX relays instead, which means a bit of extra wiring compared to other DSE units.
Appreciate the update — just following along here to stay in the loop on any progress or wiring/setup details as they become available. Would love to hear from anyone already trying this out.
Hi @chris211, support for DSE 4520 MKII was added with v3.50. To start and stop the generator, you wire it as it would use the Relay-controlled start/stop feature, but then select “Connected genset helper relay”. This will then be closed as long as the generator should run and open otherwise. Happy integrating!
