ITI does not include the hardware required. A dedicated interface/display board containing the Ethernet hardware must be installed. Please refer to the Simrad ITI Installation Manual, Appendix 1 → page 3 – 17 for more details. The ITI system has four serial lines available for external equipment connection.
Catch Sensor Distance and Speed sensor Simrad’s philosophy is to reduce integration costs and increase the benefit of our products to let data from the ITI be available for integration with external equipment like chart plotters, winch control systems etc.
Instruction manual 3 ITI GEOMETRY FOR TWIN RIG Setting up a three wire Twin Rig system is a question of finding the balance point between a number of forces. The adjustment of the centre warp is very critical. This is one of the reason for the positioning of the clump, and hence the balance of forces between the doors and the warp and sweeps being so critical to get a square tow.
Page 12
Simrad ITI The figure above shows that the trawl is 3_ off port side. The doors and the clump are not lined up correctly with door/clump distances of 28 and 30 meter. The distances to the trawl doors are 310 and 309 meter and distance to the clump is 307 meters.
Instruction manual 4 RESPONSIBILITY Simrad’s philosophy is to let data from our ITI Trawl System be available for integration with external equipment like chart plotters, winch control systems etc. We are convinced that this will increase the benefit of the product and lead to reduced integration costs.
Simrad ITI 5 SERIAL LINES The ITI system has four (female) serial ports, A, B C and D. All message transferred via these serial lines are based on the NMEA 0183 format protocol. ETHERNET REMOTE CONTROL MONITOR CENTRONIX TD-L TD-R...

Simrad ITI Serial port pin assignments The ITI system is designed to communicate over serial interfaces where control signals are not required. The connectors in the cabinetare femaleand requirea maleconnector forthe serialcable. Table 4 shows the pin assignments for port B (and C) available on the ITI transceiver cabinet.
