Interfacing Via Nmea - Simrad TP10 User Manual

Interfacing via NMEA

The inbuilt NMEA processor allows NMEA 0183-compatible
equipment to be connected directly to the TP22 and TP32, without
any need for a separate interface unit.

If a GPS or chartplotter is connected to the Tillerpilot, it can extract
the data necessary for Nav mode. Other functions, such as Steer To
Wind, may also be available if NMEA 0183-compatible instruments
are transmitting the correct NMEA sentences.
When connecting an external ("talker") unit to the Tillerpilot, two
terminals are used – usually labeled DATA and COMMON (or COM).
These should be connected to the Tillerpilot's NMEA cable as
follows:
NMEA talker unit Tillerpilot NMEA
NMEA Out Data/+ Data (Red)
NMEA Out Common/- Common (Blue)
¼ Note:
Some third party equipment does not have a dedicated
COMMON connection. In this case, the DATA connection will
usually be labeled NMEA OUT and the NMEA Common wire from
the Tillerpilot should be connected directly to 0V (terminal 2). If in
any doubt, refer to the manufacturer or Simrad's Product Support
department for advice.
