Data Bridging
Supported NMEA0183 sentences entering the system are bridged (converted) to
•
SimNet/NMEA2000 and distributed on the SimNet backbone for all other displays to
use
Certain SimNet /NMEA2000 PGNs (messages/sentences) are bridged across to
•
NMEA0183 to be available as an output from any Zeus display
Ethernet to SimNet. Limited data is bridged from the Ethernet echosounder. Speed,
•
depth and temperature are bridged to SimNet and NMEA0183. Depth, speed and
temperature data from the echosounder is the only data bridged from Ethernet

Example of Data Bridging
A
In this example a NMEA0183 (talker) is connected to DISPLAY 1
B
The NMEA sentences are bridged across to SimNet and distributed on the
SimNet network
C
The NMEA0183 listener connected to DISPLAY 2 can receive the NMEA0183
sentences from the device connected to DISPLAY 1 and also from other
devices that are on the SimNet network
An NMEA talker can be connected to each Zeus display and both set of data will be
converted to SimNet. Each display can be setup for outputting selected NMEA sentences.
Speed, temp and depth data from the echosounder transducer that is to be displayed
as an instrument has to bridged from ethernet to SimNet. A Zeus display has to be
nominated to bridge the data. If this nominated display is turned off, no data will be
displayed, until the display is turned on or another display is selected to bridge the data
(see Source Selection).
NMEA0183 to SimNet bridging only applies to the NMEA0183 sentences outlined in the
Supported NMEA0183 Sentences section of this manual.
