10. Marine MFD integration by App
10.1. Introduction & requirements
A Glass Bridge is a MFD (Multi-Functional Display) that integrates a boat’s systems and navigation status into a large screen or
screens at the helm of the vessel, so doing away with multiple gauges, brackets and wiring complications.
A Victron system can be easily integrated into that, as shown in this video:

Functionalities:
• Monitor shore power and generator status.
• Monitor battery status for one or more batteries. By using the voltage of for example battery chargers, it can also visualise
secondary batteries such as Generator starter batteries.
• Monitor the power conversion equipment: chargers, inverters, inverter/chargers.
• Monitor solar production from an MPPT Solar Charger.
• Monitor AC loads, and DC loads.
• Control shore power input current limit.
• Control the inverter/charger: switch it off, on, or set it to charger-only.
• Optionally open the Victron Remote Console panel; allowing access to further parameters.
Victron equipment compatibility:
• All Victron inverter/chargers: From a 500VA single phase device up to a large 180kVA three phase-system, including Multis,
Quattros, 230VAC and 120VAC models.
• Battery Monitors: BMV-700, BMV-702, BMV-712, SmartShunt, and newer, Lynx Shunt VE.Can, Lynx Ion BMS.
• All Victron MPPT Solar Charge Controllers
