Having read through the various documents I would like to check my understanding before I make the install. I have no NMEA2000 network so the only devices will be the WS500 and the Cerbo GX connected by the Victron to Wakespeed crossover cable. I want to install the WS500 shunt on the alternator output and pick up the battery current and temperature via NMEA2000 from the Victron Cerbo GX.
- On the WS500 in the $CCN I have set ENABLE_ALT_CAN to NMEA RAT (value 1) which the config guide states as the WS500 receeives battery current and temperature via NMEA2000 battery monitor.
- On the Cerbo GX I plan to set NMEA2000-out to on.
Are points 1 and 2 the correct way to get the battery data from the Cerbo GX to the WS500.
I should also have noted that this is on a large AGM battery bank so no BMS involvement.
