3.6 Node address for the Multigraphic
At the first power on, you must give a node address to the Multigraphic to enable it
to work on the system’s bus.
The default address is 0.
When the unit is given an address it will take a place in the system to be listed in the
units working on the TOPLINE bus:
−
As a master with node 1, if it is available on the bus,
−
As a slave with node 2 to 20 if node 1 is already taken by an existing master.
Refer to section
2.7.6.1
to see the address procedure.
Refer to section
2.7.6.1
for address resetting.
3.7 Connecting to a NMEA source and configuration
The Multigraphic features an interface which converts NMEA sentences to the
Topline protocol. This allows the system to display the data coming from a NMEA
source on the nke displays.
Connect the NMEA device to the NMEA- and NMEA+ terminals of the 90-60-417
junction box. Be careful to respect the polarity (
refer to the connection drawing)
. The
configuration is described in the section
2.7.6.2.2
of this manual.
3.8 Installation and configuration of the Gyropilot
Once the Gyropilot is installed, you need to configure the system. This consists of
teaching the pilot the rudder’s positions: place the rudder in the midship position,
then at the starboard lock and then the port lock. These three rudder positions are
essential for the processor to run the drive unit.
