This is a marine setup with Cerbo GX, multiplus, smartshunt and a few MPPT controllers. My engine alternator regulator is a Electroomaax Pro X, which has a current shunt on the alternator output positive and an additional one on the battery negative (in series with the smartshunt).
The alternator output goes to the house battery (Lifepo4 410 Ah) and the starter battery is charged from a DC-DC converter.
I see that the Electrommax Reg outputs NMEA2000 battery data as a dc generator. How do I get this to display on the Cerbo GX Overview screen? I’m running fw 3.52 with the new UI.
Thanks…
Not natively, the only NMEA devices configured as input to the Cerbo are GPS and tank levels according to the Cerbo GX manual, look Chapter 5.

That’s why I ask the question. Section 5.14 mentions reading generic dc generator data (which I have on my nmea network).
Trying to achieve something like this:
I have to admit that NMEA alternator is a new item and I had missed this addition. Section 5.14 reads as though it uses the details from a shunt directly, the Electromax would need to match the required device class and function and PGNs per the Cerbo manual, so you would need to check this.
