YachtSense Digital Switching Software

Updated Cloud Connector to improve communications between the Raymarine App control and the YachtSense Digital Switching (RDS) system.

• Improved upgrade process of the YachtSense system (applicable to future software releases):

• The upgrade file is uploaded to the Master Module (via Codesys)
• Reboot the Master Module and the internal processors will transfer/unpack the file
• The Local Control Processor will upgrade itself and will then automatically transfer the upgrades to all remotes
• All remotes will then unpack the file and upgrade themselves

Note: during upgrades, there is no feedback on the screens, however, the whole process should take approx. 10 minutes to complete

• Improvements to communications when in larger SeaTalk NG networks (high traffic systems)
• Resolved an issue with PGN130824 that could cause the Master to go into Limp Home Mode
• After software upgrade, the system now resets YachtSense memory “override” settings, such as fuse setting/load type or overridden outputs

• Cloud connector updated from 1.1240 to 1.1263
• Improvements to the RDS onboarding with the cloud
• General communications improvements within the RDS system, between modules

• Addresses an issue with the on-boarding & off-boarding process

Note: If you are not using Cloud services in your existing configuration, then there is no need to upgrade to this version.

Features:

• Initial implementation of Cloud connectivity via YachtSense Link
  • Raymarine app support
  • Switching control from Cloud via mobile app
  • Cloud alerts can be raised resulting in SMS notifications and alerts showing in mobile app
  • Support for over-the-air upgrade of cloud-connector component
  • Note – The config file needs to be modified for cloud functionality
    
• Allow customisation of AVAHI services, which also implements support for a secondary Master
  module where more RS-485/J1939 ports are required

Software improvements:
Resolved MFD intermittently failing to load Switching pages

• Additional improvements for large vessel configurations
• Modification of Voltage thresholds for Hi/Lo/Rev outputs

• Resolves memory issue on larger systems (1 master & > 4 remotes)
  • We have currently tested up to 6 remote modules. For systems requiring more than 6, we
    recommend to contact the Raymarine Digital Switching team for direction.

Features:

• Added support to read Master unit battery voltage

Software improvements:

• Codesys persistence not working
• Watchdog in locpComms
• Invalid response to TrippedChannelLightOn messages
