Connecting networks – actual and new ones in harmony.
Function
Latest linked up data- and display-systems aboard yachts are running by means of a so-called NMEA2000 network. Data interchange between NMEA0183 and NMEA2000 is not possible without a converter. This is where the easyN2K comes into picture. The easyN2K is connected just between the AIS device running with NMEA0183 and the chartplotter or PC / Labtop running on NMEA2000. The unit “translates” the NMEA0183 data stream.
Requirements for the easyN2K?
Every AIS transponder or AIS receiver who sends out data via NMEA0183 standard can be connected to the easyN2K. The outgoing data can be interpreted and precessed by any suitable NMEA2000 device.
easyN2K and gadgets that fit together?
All you need is a NMEA2000 network and corresponding devices to display NMEA2000 data. The N2K is connected directly to the NMEA2000 network via the standardized NMEA2000 plug. The NMEA0183 device will be connected with the easyN2K via an ac-cording cable. No other wiring, concerning power supply, is required.
