veKonvert NMEA 2000 Gateway
veKonvert brings NMEA 2000 connectivity to Victron’s popular SmartShunt battery monitoring system. Now a navigation multi-function display becomes a sophisticated battery and energy management system.
Features
veKonvert is a stand-alone NMEA 2000 interface designed in conjunction with Victron Energy to integrate VE.Direct compatible devices such as their SmartShunt, BMV Battery Monitors, and MPPT Solar Charge Controller range into NMEA 2000 systems.
This functionality already existed but required the use of a sophisticated Cerbo module. veKonvert is a lower-cost, simpler solution for smaller installations that just need the electrical data displayed on a multi-function display.
Boaters and boat builders like a clear and uncluttered dash or nav area, so integrating electrical data into the main navigation display is a popular and cost-saving option.
The product is a collaboration between Victron Energy and Digital Yacht. The system utilizes Victron’s proprietary VE.Direct data connectivity as a source for the NMEA 2000 data.
Victron solar charge controllers (MPPTs) and battery monitors can now also interconnect to your NMEA 2000 MFD via the veKonvert interface.
Installation
Installation is simple – just "T" into the NMEA 2000 backbone and plug into the VE.Direct custom connector on the SmartShunt, and you've got battery and electrical data on your NMEA 2000 network! Note that one veKonvert is required for each battery bank.
Specifications:
- Universal NMEA 2000 gateway for Victron products with a VE.Direct interface
- Enables battery management or solar charge monitoring on compatible multi-function displays (Raymarine, Garmin, Navico, Furuno, etc)
- Provides battery voltage, charge/discharge current, state of charge, and time to depletion based on a sophisticated algorithm
- Easy installation, plug ‘n’ play connectivity, and self-powering from the NMEA 2000 bus
- Generates NMEA 2000 alerts from any BMV or SmartShunt Alarms
- Supports multiple SmartShunts for a larger multi-battery system
VeKonvert Is Compatible with the Following Victron Products:
BMV-700, BMV-702, BMV-700H, BMV-712 Smart, BMV-710H Smart, BMV-712 Smart, SmartShunt 500A/50mV, SmartShunt 1000A/50mV, SmartShunt 2000A/50mV, and All MPPT Charge Controllers
The veKonvert will automatically detect what Victron device it is connected to and adjust the NMEA 2000 data that it outputs accordingly. Below is a list of the PGNs that the veKonvert outputs for the different Victron Devices and different modes that they can operate in:
All MPPTs
- PGN 127506 DC Detailed Status (DC Type set to MPPT)
- PGN 127508 Battery Status (MPPT Output Voltage and Current)
- PGN 130900 Proprietary Solar Controller (All solar panel data)
All SmartShunts and BMVs
- PGN 127506 DC Detailed Status (DC Type set to Battery, SOC and A/h consumed)
- PGN 127508 Battery Status (Output Voltage and Current)
NOTE: veKonvert is not compatible with Victron Chargers and Inverters. It should also not be plugged into the VE.Direct interfaces of any Victron "Consumers" such as Multiplus, Quattro, Cerbo, etc.
