  • Page 4: Introduction

    Introduction The NMEA 0183 Gateway (hereinafter Gateway or Device) allows you to connect NMEA 0183 equipment to a NMEA 2000 network and vice versa. It has a bi-directional converter with wide support of message types including AIS (see Appendix D) and autopilot control. The Gateway has one NMEA 2000 connection and one NMEA 0183 port with transmit and receive data lines.

  • Page 5: Warranty And Technical Support

    Warranty and Technical Support The Device warranty is valid for two years from the date of purchase. If a Device was purchased in a retail store, the sales receipt may be requested when applying for a warranty claim. The Device warranty is terminated in case of violation of the instructions in this Manual, case integrity breach, or repair or modification of the Device without the manufacturer’s written permission.

    I. Product Specification Figure 1. Drawing of YDNG-03N (left) and YDNG-03R (right) models of Gateway Our devices are supplied with different types of NMEA 2000 connectors. Models containing R in the suffix of model name are equipped with NMEA 2000 connectors and are compatible with Raymarine SeaTalk NG. Models containing N in the suffix are equipped with NMEA 2000 Micro Male connectors.
  • Page 7 - 20..55 Note: the Gateway is powered from the NMEA 2000 network. Yacht Devices Ltd declares that this product is compliant with the essential requirements of EMC directive 2004/108/EC. Dispose of this product in accordance with the WEEE Directive. Do not mix electronic disposal with domestic or industrial refuse.

  • Page 8: Nmea Basics

    II. NMEA Basics This section describes the basics of NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 networks. We are recommend getting familiar with this section before connecting the Device. These networks are very different at the electrical and software levels. NMEA 0183 also has traveled a long evolutionary path, but thanks to its simplicity and cheapness, it is still very popular and widely used.
  • Page 9 NMEA 0183, until version 2.0 (1992), used a “single ended” RS-232 interface with one TX line and one RX signal line (grey at Figure 1.a) and ground line (dotted at Figure 1.a) used as reference for TX and RX signals. Therefore, old devices have only three wires. Since version 2.0, NMEA 0183 has been based on a “differential”...
  • Page 10 2. NMEA 2000 NMEA 2000 network runs at 250 kbps and allows up to 60 physical devices to be connected. Unlike NMEA 0183, there are no “talkers” and “listeners”. All devices can “talk” and all devices receive all messages. Many electronic manufacturers presented “branded”...
  • Page 11 The network backbone (between 2 and 2 at Figure 3) has two data lines (called CAN HIGH and CAN LOW) and two power lines. Power lines should be connected to a 12-Volt power supply (see 3 at Figure 3). Low-powered devices, like our Gateway, take power directly from the network backbone. Data lines are “terminated”...

  • Page 12: Microsd Slot And Card's Compatibility

    III. MicroSD Slot and Card’s Compatibility The Device has a slot for a MicroSD card that allows you to configure the Device (see Section VI), update the firmware (see Section VIII) and record diagnostics data (see Section VII). Since the MicroSD slot is usually not in use when the Device is working, we recommend sealing it with the sticker that is included with the Device or with a piece of tape to prevent water from entering the Device through the slot.

  • Page 13: Installation And Connection Of Device

    IV. Installation and Connection of Device The Device requires no maintenance. When deciding where to install the Device, choose a dry mounting location. Avoid places where the Device can be flooded with water, as this can damage it. 1. Connection to NMEA 2000 The Device is directly connected to the NMEA 2000 network backbone without a drop cable.
  • Page 14 Note that many NMEA 0183 devices, including the Gateway, have different wire colors than specified in the Standard. Please check the label on cable and/or documentation before connecting.

  • Page 15: Led Signals

    V. LED Signals The Device is equipped with a bi-color LED that indicate the Device’s state. The Device produces a short single green flash after powering on, indicating that the Device is functioning. 1. Signals during normal operation During normal operation, Device produces a series of six flashes every five seconds. The Flashes indicate the state of Device interfaces over the last five seconds and have the following meaning: •...
  • Page 16 equipment (fridges, generators, etc.) may also cause a checksum error. The last (sixth) signal indicates that port speed is too slow for outgoing NMEA 0183 stream. To understand the scale of the problem, you can record and check diagnostics data. See the description of overflow diagnostic messages at Section VII.

  • Page 17: Device Settings

    VI. Device Settings To configure the Device, a text file with the configuration should be created and named YDNG.TXT in the root folder of the MicroSD card. A sample of the configuration file is in Appendix E. The file contents must conform to these rules: •...
  • Page 18 once per two seconds. In the case of 38400 speed, the update rate will be 2 times per second. Our recommendation is to set the highest possible speed. If you are sure that your equipment does not require high speed, or you see checksum error signals from the LED (see Section V), you can decrease the speed.
  • Page 19 The Device uses 3-char sentence formatters only for filtering. The following sentences matches to GLL and VDM records (sentence formatters): $GPGLL,4146.5894,N,07029.6952,W,173412.02,A*15 !AIVDM,1,1,,B,ENk`smq71h@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@=MeR6<7rpP00003vf400,4*5F For example, to block processing of only GLL and VDM messages from connected equipment, use the following configuration: 0183_RX_TYPE=BLACK 0183_RX_FILTER=GLL,VDM If the filter is of BLACK type, the Device ignores messages whose sentence formatter matches with one...
  • Page 20 by processing the NMEA 2000 message identifier, and the second value (mask) defines the comparison concerning which bits are significant. The identifier contains a PGN (Parameter Group Number, described in NMEA 2000 Standard) and a source device address. You can use decimal and hexadecimal numbers (which start with a 0x prefix). To simplify defining filters, it is also allowed to set filters using PGN only.
  • Page 21 5. 0183_RTE_TYPE=x and 0183_RTE_FILTER=y Where x – WHITE or BLACK, y - empty string or the list of 3-char NMEA 0183 sentence formatters separated by a comma. Factory setting: x - WHITE, y - empty. These settings are similar to those described in VI.2 and VI.3. This filter defines which sentences received from the NMEA 0183 port should be forwarded to NMEA 0183 output.
  • Page 22 Magnetic variation is required to process an RMB sentence of NMEA 0183. It can be obtained from the NMEA 0183 HDG sentence or, if this sentence is absent, this setting allows use of the variation available in NMEA 2000 messages. 9.

Therefore, our gateways offers four options: SOG/HDG (if you love truth), SOG/COG (if you have GPS only), STW/HDG (if tradition is most important), or you can disable calculations. In the last case, the gateway reports true wind data to NMEA 0183 only if they are calculated by another device available on the NMEA 2000 network.

  • Page 24: Recording Of Diagnostics Data

    VII. Recording of Diagnostics Data The Device allows all processing data to be recorded to the MicroSD card for the purpose of diagnostics and configuration. Recording of diagnostics data is not a normal operation mode. Recording to the MicroSD card can cause delays in messages processing and some NMEA 2000 messages may be skipped.

If your NMEA 2000 network has GPS data, it can use data already available on NMEA 2000 and sending of the ROT, HDG and RMC sentences from the application may not be required. It is better to send minimal data from a PC to the NMEA 2000 network if possible.

If automatic confirmations are off (default settings, see VI.7), the chart plotter and pilot head will ask for the confirmation when waypoint is changing.
