The system communicates via the NMEA 2000 protocol, sending temperature values and alarms as NMEA 2000 messages over an NMEA bus. Configuration is done through a web interface, and real-time values can be viewed on a website. Additionally, there's a link on the configuration page for convenient firmware updates.

#### Minimum SOC [%]

The minimum SoC is the lowest level of charge that a battery can safely operate at without damaging its cells or reducing its capacity. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the maximum charge. For example, if a battery has a minimum SoC of 10%, it means that it should not be discharged below 10% of its full capacity.
