CZONE Display Interface Operations Manual
Overview
1.
A CZONE network is an NMEA 2000-compliant
CAN-based system. With a maximum of
40 possible reporting interfaces in a single
‘backbone’ network, the size of the network
you want is virtually limitless: for vessels with
larger electrical systems extra backbones can
be attached.
Because there is no centralized processing
facility, a CZONE network is not crippled with
the collapse of any one unit.
Your main connection with each CZONE
interface throughout your vessel is the Display
Interface, or DI. All other interfaces are normally
configured at the time of installation, and re-
configured very occasionally in your vessel’s
life. Once installed, your DI becomes the main
way you can oversee and configure the entire
system. But like any other interface, removing
the DI from the network does not cripple the
network: all other interfaces work with each
other normally.
This manual is aimed at the intermediate and
experienced skippers. It is assumed you have
basic knowledge of how your vessel already
operates, basic electrical knowledge, and
have had some basic experience with the
conventions of computer equipment.
