Canbus PGN overview per product
Use below tables to see where to find what data. There is a freely available PDF file on the NMEA2000 website that also gives a good overview. Go to
http://www.nmea.org/content/nmea_standards/downloads.asp, and then the link called “NMEA2000 Parameter Group Descriptions (Messages) with
Field Description”. To get the detailed information in order to decode the PGNs, see Q14 in the FAQs.

This PGN is disabled by default, since the reported value is
only valid in systems with no other chargers or dc loads. Use
the proper NMEA method to enable it, which is a complex
request.

AC input information is sent from a different network address
than all other PGNs. To distinguish, use the device function
code from the ACL PGN, which is “154 AC Input monitor” for
the AC input information. All other PGN’s are sent with device
function code “153 Inverter”. See manual for more
information.

The Battery instance from PGNs 127508 (field 1), DC Instance from PGN 127506 (field 2) and PGN 127509 (field 3) and Charger Instance from PGN 127507
(field 1) are the same number. Changing one of the instances will change all of the mentioned instances.

DEPRECATED: PGNs 127507 and 127503 are deprecated in favor of
127750 and 127744
They are not being transmitted by default. They can still be requested
though, and also they can be configured to be transmitted on an interval.
