Fischer Panda CAN GX integration
The Fischer Panda CAN bus »fpCAN« has been integrated into the Victron GX system. This provides control and monitoring of the Fischer Panda Genset using the Victron Color Control GX, Venus GX or Cerbo GX:
All the data of the Fischer Panda AC Generator with xControl, iControl2 or fpControl are available on the Victron GX devices. Furthermore, the generator can be started / stopped and error messages are displayed.
From Version v3.50 of the Victron VenusOS the DC battery charging generators (AGTs) with fpControl generator Control are integrated into the Victron GX system.
NOTE: The AGT BMS Mode is expected to be available in Victron VenusOS v3.60.
In a separate article we described how to connect your Fischer Panda Generator with »fpCAN« to the »VE.CAN« from Victron Energy.
Marine MFD GX integration
A current topic is the Marine MFD GX integration from Victron which is available for Furuno, Garmin, Navico (Lowrance, B&G, Simrad) and Raymarine. Due to the integration into the Victron GX system, the Fischer Panda Generator is now also integrated into the Victron MFD app. That makes it possible to monitor and control the Fischer Panda Genset via a Marine MFD. A separate Widget for the Fischer Panda Genset in the Victron MFD App shows the status of the generator, voltage, current, active power, frequency and the temperatures of coolant, winding and exhaust.
