Morningstar ethernet meterbus converter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4RsnFV9BWo Interesting new product, looks like you'll be able to make your older MorningStar controller now have a ethernet connection. It's built in to the mppt-60...

Red, you don't need to see "all" the adjustable parameters at the same time and at all times, unless you are changing them all the time. Or, if you do, then there is something wrong with the system or there are exceptionally bad sun/weather conditions.
When you are not playing with it constantly, the only variables of interest are V/A pre and post-controller, running mode - MPPT/Absorb/Float, AH harvested since dawn, and maybe for curiosity - running W of the panels. All of this I can see at the same time on the display of Rogue MPPT 3048. 4-line display and full interface. No offense, but Morningstar meter is joke in comparison - very basic.
All adjustable parameters - and I mean "all", even adjustable Tcomp - can be viewed and changed with easy 3 buttons. 30 days log too. I only wish they were making more decent controllers like this. More often you see this feature on low-end models where they are trying to compensate for lack of functionality.
$30 monitor from Ebay would display most of the needed data too, though it wouldn't be an interface.
