Stus-List Networking Some Old Instruments & AIS Receiver

2017-12-15 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List 
I would like to get AIS info from my Raymarine AIS350 receiver and my
SeaTalk Wind, Depth, and Log into my Garmin GMAP541. It seems simple enough
with a SeaTalk to SeaTalkNG converter.

Here's a drawing of how I think it might work:

Power for the ST-STNG converter comes from the SPX-5 Course Computer.

What are the chances this could work?

Tim — you can’t power a SeaTalkNG bus through the SeaTalk1 connection on the 
converter; you’ll need to add a short SeaTalkNG backbone cable to a “T”, then 
use the power (red) cable that comes with the converter kit to get 12 volts 
onto the SeaTalkNG bus.  Then you should get data from the instruments added to 
the bus with the AIS data.  It looks from the GPSMAP 400/500 Installation 
Instructions like the MF will accept PGNs (data sentences) for water speed and 
depth, and wind.

Guys, 
  Fred's answer to this inquiry is why I always give him a shot at pricing any 
electronics I buy, and he is always competitive.  Sorry if this violates our 
rules, and no I am not related to him, lol, but where else can you get this 
kind of knowledge for free?

Hi Fred,

Thanks for your thoughtful response! I appreciate real-world experience
over reading between the lines of technical literature any day.

The Raymarine literature reads "
*Power must be supplied by either the SeaTalk network OR the SeaTalkng bus;
it must not be powered from both sides. If present, the preferred power
supply method is via a connected autopilot*."

To me this means the source of DC power can be the autopilot, but now I
understand it must be fed through a standard power tee or a converter port.
Please let me know if that's not right.

In any case, I'll plan to extend the SeaTalkNG buss using standard NMEA
2000 hardware for future non-proprietary compatibility and will use either
a power tee or a port on the converter to power the buss.

Your input is appreciated, I will be in touch for a quote once the details
of the BOM are finalized.
