SimNet Groups
The SimNet Group function is used to control parameter settings, either globally or in groups
of units. The function is used on larger vessels where several SimNet units are connected via
the network. By assigning several units to the same group, a parameter update on one unit
will have the same effect on the rest of the group members.
The illustration below shows a network of three MX610/MX612 units (two on the bridge and
one in the remote area). The two units on the bridge can be made to belong to one group (i.e.
Group #1) so that when the backlight and damping settings is adjusted in one of the bridge
units, the other MX610/MX612 display settings will also change. The third MX610/MX612 unit
in the remote location which does not belong to group #1 will not be affected.

Damping
Controls how quickly the display updates values from sensors.
Increasing the damping applies more averaging or smoothing of the data update rate on the
display.
Damping settings are applied to SimNet units belonging to particular damping SimNet
Groups.
¼ Note:
If the damping factor for heading is high, the captured heading might differ from the
heading read on the display when using the heading capture function. This feature controls
equipment that are connected in the NMEA 2000 bus only.

Description
Indicates if network backbone is operating. If no data is detected,
check power and terminations
Value greater than 0 could indicate the software is very busy and
unable to keep up with incoming messages
CAN interface error counters. Count up when there are errors on
the CAN bus, and down when things are okay. Should normally be
0. The bus power is off when 255 is reached. Check same things as
for Bus state if greater than 0 observed
Detected errors since power up. Check the network if this is
continually increasing
A count since power up of messages received / transmitted
