Robnet Units and Robnet Network Cables
The following Robnet units are available in a system:
AP50 Control Unit, AP51 Remote Control, RC25 Rate
Compass, FU50 Follow-Up lever, GI51 Gyro Interface, NI300X
NMEA Interface, TI51 Thruster Interface and AD50 Analog
Drive.
As most Robnet units have two Robnet connectors, they can be
used for further expansion of the system. There are no dedicated
"in" or "out" connectors. You may connect the cables to any
available Robnet connector on the specific unit.
The Robnet cables are available in 7 and 15 m lengths and they
contain a 6-pin male connector at one or both ends. The 15 m
cable to the junction unit has a connector only at the control unit
end.
Additional extension cable (10 m) with a male and a female
connector, is available from Simrad (part no. 22192266).
When installing a system, try to minimize the total Robnet cable
length by connecting all Robnet units to the nearest available
Robnet connector.
The total length of Robnet cables depends on the number of
Robnet units and the voltage drop across the connected units.
