  I am interested in controlling a power switch (like the Switch Control YDSC-04) from an NMEA 2000 Tool running on a PC. I see from the documentation that PGNs 127501 and 127502 are supported, but cannot find out exactly how PGN 127502 is used. For instance is PGN 126208 used to command the field referencing the switch of interest? Is there any sample scenarios or code explaining the usage of the switch at the PGN level? Thank You, Dan

  Feedback from Korolev Alexey, support engineer, Yacht Devices Ltd   I am interested in controlling a power switch (like the Switch Control YDSC-04) YDSC-04 is a button panel. Do you mean YDCC-04 unit (relay block)? > from an NMEA 2000 Tool running on a PC. You need a NMEA 2000-to-PC gateway which can send arbitrary PGNs to NMEA 2000 network, like our: - NMEA 2000 USB Gateway YDNU-02 https://www.yachtd.com/products/usb_gateway.html - NMEA 2000 Wi-Fi Gateway YDWG-02 https://www.yachtd.com/products/wifi_gateway.html - NMEA 2000 Ethernet Gateway YDEN-02 https://www.yachtd.com/products/ethernet_gateway.html You can use our CAN Log Viewer software to control YDCC-04 https://www.yachtd.com/products/can_view.html >I see from the documentation that PGNs 127501 and 127502 are supported, Correct, our device supports standard NMEA 2000 digital switching PGNs. > cannot find out exactly how PGN 127502 is used. Send PGN 127502 \"Switch Bank Control\" to NMEA 2000 network to change the YDCC-04 relay states. Read PGN 127501 \"Binary Status Report\" off the NMEA 2000 network to get the actual YDCC-04 relay states. >For instance is PGN 126208 used to command the field referencing the switch of interest? YDSC-04 (button panel) can, indeed, send this PGN, it is used for Maretron and Carling Tech equipment compatibility. We do not recommend to use this PGN to control the YDCC-04 from a software, better use PGN 127502 \"Switch Bank Control\". >Is there any sample scenarios or code explaining the usage of the switch at the PGN level? Check the attached program for our NMEA 2000 Bridge YDNB-07 [ implements YDCC-04 auto-OFF feature, shows how to read and set states via PGNs 127501 and 127502 ] https://www.yachtd.com/products/nmea_bridge.html Feel free to ask more questions if you need more help.
