8.5 Interface setup

CE34 has a connector for SimNet control or NMEA2000 plus one
NMEA in/out port.
CE44/54 has two NMEA in/out ports:
1. NMEA1 contains both an NMEA port and connection for the
dual station. The NMEA1 data from the main unit is available
from NMEA2 port on the dual station i.e. DS44 or DS54.
2. NMEA2 is used for connection to SimNet or NMEA2000 via
AT44 Active Tee or for standard NMEA interfacing.
Plug-and-play: SimNet offers easy and uncomplicated interfacing
with a unique cable and plug solution and automatic system setup.
SimNet is the optimum solution for integrating SimNet products and
other products with NMEA 2000.
Group selection or stand-alone: Main products, e.g. MultiRadar,
Chartplotter and Autopilot will automatically select the optimum
sources for position, heading, depth, speed etc. for all other SimNet
products connected. This means that if two Chartplotters are con-
nected, they will both use position data from the same GPS and
heading from the same compass. If you wish to use the built-in GPS,
also on the Chartplotter, which automatically was set to operate
with an external position, you can change the Group selection from
SIMRAD to STAND-ALONE.
Multi source: If a main product recognizes e.g. two heading devices
it will automatically select a gyro compass before a fluxgate com-
pass, and DGPS before GPS.
NMEA 0183 input: If there is no data available from the SimNet
bus for e.g. heading, position or depth, the system will automatically
look for data via the NMEA 0183 port.
The next pages show examples of interface settings, which are
divided into the following groups:
Nodes - Position - Navigation - Water - Compass - Wind - Waypoint
- Alarm - SimNet diagnostic - SimNet input - SimNet output -
NMEA0183 input - NMEA0183 output - Identification.
