The Optimus system has three independent CAN bus networks, consisting of CAN1, CAN2

and CAN3. CAN1 network is for the Optimus steering network. CAN2 network is for

Optimus communication, display units and for a connection to the autopilot. CAN3

network is for NMEA2000 certified devices. The NAVpilot-711C is connected to CAN2 via

an IF-NMEA2K2. Rudder control is achieved by plugging the IF-NMEA2K2 into the Optimus

CAN2 Network.
