Context
The information imported to the EK80 from
various sensors can also be useful for other
systems on board your vessel. The EK80 allows
you to "re-export" this sensor information. When
activated, the selected sensor information is sent
out on the chosen communication port (serial or
LAN) on the Processor Unit.
The following sensor data can be exported:
• Navigation
• Motion sensor
Procedure
1 Connect the peripheral system to an
available communication port on your
Processor Unit.
This is described in the Cable layout and interconnections chapter. Observe the
applicable requirements related to cabling. Make sure that the total length of the
serial line cable does not exceed approximately 50 meters. If a longer cable is
required, you may need to use buffer amplifiers.
If the Processor Unit is not fitted with a suitable serial line connector, use a
USB-to-serial converter. Several types are commercially available. Note that most
USB-to-serial converters will introduce some latency. They may also introduce
be jitter in the communication. The amount of jitter depends on the quality of
the converter.
