Description
– Description of the sensor - for identification purposes only.
Relay sentences
– Enables vessel sensor parameters information to be relayed through the
ethernet connection made in a PLECDIS system.
Line type
– The following types of connection are available:
• Serial
- use to access the
Port name
,
Baudrate
and
Data / Parity / Stop
settings.
Port name on the device is always /dev/ttysx (“x” can be 0, 1 or 2). Baudrate and Data /
Parity / Stop needs to match the settings of the transmitting device
• TCP Server
- use to access the
Port
settings
• TCP Client
- use to access the
Host
and
Port
settings. It it used to collect sensor data
from the websocket application or other sources. Only one specific host and port will
receive data from the websocket. Other configurations may be used to obtain sensor
data from an Ehternet sensor system, for instance another ECDIS or a radar. For more
information refer to
“Websocket interface connection” on page 23
• UDP Receiver
- use to set the
Host
and
Port
settings which need to match the
transmitting device. Use
UDP Receiver
to access ethernet sensors using the UDP
protocol
• UDP Sender
- use to set the
Host
and
Port
settings. Use
UDP Sender
to transmit
data using the UDP protocol. The Host should be set to 0.0.0.0 and Port number can
be any number between 10002 and 65535
• Serial TCP
- use to access the
Host
and
Baudrate
settings. This is used to access the
3rd serial port located in the second serial connector. Refer to the Serial 2 / 2B table
section in
“NMEA 0183 device connection” on page 14
Host
– IP address of the ethernet device.
Port
– Number of the UDP / TCP port to listen to or transmit through.
Sensor location
– Position of the sensor on board the own vessel relative to the common
reference point.
Mnemonic
– NMEA 0183 sentences to listen to.
Checksum
– Indicates that checksum of sentences should be checked: if the checksum of a
sentence is wrong, the sentence is ignored; if the option is off, all sentences are processed.
NMEA 2000 sensors
The sensors connected via NMEA 2000 are internally bridged to ethernet, and should use the
following settings:
Line type: TCP client
Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 2000
Deleting a sensor
To remove a sensor that is no longer required, open the sensor settings by choosing the
sensor icon. Select
Delete
at the bottom of the page.
