NMEA 2000® network interface YDNB-07

Yacht Devices NMEA Bridge unifies two physical NMEA 2000 networks into a single logical network, smoothly exchanging messages between them. The Device also supports filtering and processing of transmitted messages. This can accomplish the following tasks: Bypass the physical limits of NMEA 2000 networks concerning length of networks (100 meters for regular cable and 250 meters for heavy or mid-type cable) and concerning the maximum number (50) of physical devices attached to the network. On a network with address capacity of 252, multiple bridges can be engaged to expand to around 250 physical devices. Isolate devices from each other. Using the simple filter, you can block transmission of all or of selected messages from a given device in a separate subnet. Ensure proper functioning of equipment. Correct the transducer offset of the depth sounder, or "delete" invalid data in messages from equipment that is only partially operational using a 2- or 3-line script. Ensure compatibility of equipment from different generations. You can create and send any type of NMEA 2000 message using data from other messages in the network. Diagnose malfunctions in the NMEA 2000 network. The Device can record network messages and debug data from custom programs on a MicroSD card in a text file. You can view the data in a standard text editor on a smartphone or tablet with a MicroSD slot, there is no need for a computer. You can even create and edit programs for the Device right on your phone! Free diagnostics software is supplied for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. It allows to play, view and convert binary log files with NMEA 2000 messages from both CAN interfaces.
