Number of NMEA0183 ports in a NavNet 3D MFD
Question
How many NMEA0183 ports are provided on every NavNet 3D MFD?
Solution
Each NavNet 3D MFD has three full NMEA0183 I/O ports. One is located in a dedicated MJ7 connector. This is identical to the NavNet 1/VX2 “DATA1” port and allows direct connection of a Furuno BBWGPS or NMEA0183 Smart Depth sensor. The other ports are located in a single 18 pin connector. A 2 meter “Pig-Tail” cable is supplied as standard with each MFD. Each NMEA0183 I/O port can accept baud rates of 4800 or 38.4Kbps and output strings are independently programmable for each port.
