This helps in finding that “sweet spot” for best fuel economy. Fuel management including fuel consumption, fuel remaining and calculated fuel economy can also be viewed. In some cases, an analog-to-digital interface is required. The information displayed can include basic engine parameters such as rpm, oil pressure and engine temperature. It’s called a “backbone” cable and can be networked with the engine’s electronic control unit and other sensors to show information on an MFD. In boats, the key is an NMEA 2000 interconnection standard, which uses a single digital cable to communicate with various electronic, electrical and other onboard systems. It’s akin to the glass-cockpit concept that airplanes use instead of myriad gauges. Today you can display just about any engine parameter on a multifunction display (MFD), possibly the one you are now using to view your GPS/chart plotter, fish finder or radar. Do we need to power the VE.CAN to NMEA2000 cable, does this cable supply power to the CCGX Victron VE.CAN and does the VE.Special connector installed on each end of a backbone network cable This is plugged in to a Maretron Multiport and we have the fuse removed because our Maretron/NMEA 2000 back bone is powered by a power tap. The other port on the CCGX is plugged into the VE.CAN to NMEA 2000 cable. Currently we have the Lynx VE.CAN Shunt plugged into one of the VE.CAN port on the CCGX. I have looked through all the schematics I can find so see how Victron recommends us to connect the VE.CAN to the CCGX. For most NMEA 2000 networks, devices on the network are not terminated as this will end the back bone, but if Victron's VE.CAN system is powered from this cable through the CCGX there would be now way to terminate the other end of the network. I would like to know does the CCGX act as a gate way to the NMEA 2000 network and if so, is it running its own VE.CAN network on the back side say going to the Lynx VE.CAN Shunt? Do I need to terminate the Victron side of the network.

There could be thousands of issues that could be causing this problem but until we understand more about the Victron CCGX and how it is interfacing on the NMEA 2000 network we will be operating in the dark. 0101107801 NMEA 2000 Multiport TConnectorBlackMedium.

We have isolated the system on its own so that it is the only CCGX on the NMEA 2000 Network and we have tried it with the fuse in and fuse out of the VE.CAN to NMEA 2000 network cable. Get fast shipping and top-rated customer service. Despite its small size, under the hood (dont really open it) you will find: web server for configuration and firmware updates Web. In comparison to the Maretron IPG100, it is 50 times smaller, 19 times lighter (18 g vs 340 g), 4 times cheaper and uses 3 times less power. We have tried this on its own NMEA 2000 network we have done this when the unit is only connected to VE.CAN and no NMEA 2000. This is a really tiny and elegant device.

We have found that the software does allow you to change the number on the CCGX but for some reason it does not register in the device. Multiport boxes connect back to the trunk through a double-ended cordset and Tee.

When then tried doing this by the device and same thing happened the number will change but soon as you select enter/check it reverts back to Zero.ĬCGX: BPP010300100R SN: HQ1843V8G51 v2.18 hw rev 2ĬCGX: BPP010300100R SN: HQ1843V9BQP v2.18 hw rev 2 Multiport boxes allow several drop cables to be consolidated and connected back to the trunk, which eliminates the need to have numerous tees connected near a single point. We have removed both of these from the N2K network and put them on there own isolated NMEA 2000 powered system and tried to edit the Device Instance through Maretron and through Actisence both softwares did the exact same as the GX it allowed you to edit the number but once you entered it it reverted back to 0.

I followed the instructions and have also done it with several other technicians. I have read the information you provided in the link previously when I was working with Maretron.
