Hi I have a PV450 setup to control and monitor a diesel generator set, with load indication etc via J1939.
Which is fine for one unit!

However there are for example 10+ models of different KW ratings, do I need an individual config for each model?
Or what I want to do is create either a universal config, or the ability to select model and have the various settings etc relevant to that model.
e.g. 10kW set have warning at 90%, bar graph 0-10kW, then the 13kW set like wise etc.
I had a state machine to select and save model no. & kw rating for the identification then I tried using calculation events to convert to %, then having a single 90% alarm and 0-100% Bar gauge. But I can only assume that these calculation events just take up too much time/processing power, as the display then constantly dropped the kW and % values back to zero (flashing between actual value and 0).

Basially I want to program a standard unit for shipping & the customer to be able to choose which model he has!

Regards

One option may be to use the "Visible Condition" attribute on the gauges, this allows you to turn "on" and "off" gauges via a database variable. You would need to setup a number of gauges (0-10Kw, 0-20 Kw, etc...), then have a menu to select the model...this would setup a variable to control what gauges you would like to see.

To have a variable warning value, you could creat a variable for the warning limit and set it accordingly in the same menu. Then use that value to calculate the warning.
