It’s important to realise that it’s often a lot easier if your AIS receiver & Chartplotter (if you have one) are of the same type
Step 3 – Connect your AIS receiver & Chartplotter buddies NMEA 2000 devices connect to the backbone using a simple T piece connector. can all talk to each other at once.Įven if you only have 1 item of NMEA 2000 equipment then you will still need to get a backbone.Ī backbone is simply a power cable that connects your NMEA 2000 items of equipment. The key difference with the new NMEA 2000 is that you can not only send information in both directions at once, but you can connect a larger number and variety of devices – so that your AIS receiver, chart plotter, depth gauge, etc. If you have NMEA 0183 type of equipment on your boat then you will be used to the way it sends data from one device to another ‘person to person’ in one direction (one device talking, one device listening). Step 1 – Understand the difference between NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183
