4.20 Interfacing to Optional Equipment (THD,
Navigation Receiver, etc.)
Note !
20221032B
With the AP50 autopilot system, there are several options for
connection to other equipment for data exchange:
1. The J50 Junction Unit includes two NMEA input/output ports
and a Clock Data heading interface to Simrad and Furuno
radars. Only the J50-2 port (NMEA input 2) accepts NMEA
heading sentences.
2. The optional NI300X NMEA Interface (expansion) Unit
includes 4 additional NMEA input/output ports.
The following connecting diagrams illustrate the interfacing
possibilities.
