NMEA2000 PGN Enable/Disable
The ACM100 Alternating Current transmits a number of the NMEA2000
®
PGNs which can be turned
on or turned off by the DSM570 display. For reasons of compatibility with older NMEA2000 devices,
some of these PGNs are redundant; disabling these PGNs will reduce the amount of traffic on the
NMEA2000
®
bus. Pressing the
Enter
ke
y with “NMEA2000 PGN Enable/Disable…” menu item
selected causes the DSM570 to display the following screen (Figure 42).
