Required additional components
To complete your autopilot system, you will need the following components and data sources in
addition to the Evolution components.
Essential:
• Compatible autopilot controller (See: p.26 — Compatible autopilot controller ).
• Drive unit appropriate for your vessel and Evolution EV and ACU units (See: p.28 — Drive unit ).
• ACU power cable (not supplied).
• SeaTalkng ® backbone.
• For ACU-300: Rudder angle reference sensor / transducer (M81105).
Recommended:
• Rudder angle reference sensor / transducer (M81105). Highly recommended to ensure optimum
autopilot performance.
• Compatible speed data source. The autopilot uses speed data when making calculations relating
to navigation. As a minimum, this information must come from a GNSS (GPS) receiver providing
SOG (Speed Over Ground) data, or ideally from a dedicated speed sensor.
• Compatible wind data source (only required for sailing vessels). The autopilot uses wind vane data
to steer relative to a specified wind angle. This data must come from an analog wind transducer
connected to the SeaTalkng ® backbone.
Note: The system components listed above are “recommended” because they help to provide
optimum performance for autopilot systems when used in conjunction with the “essential”
components listed. However, these “recommended” components are not included in all autopilot
products or system packs. Consult the Raymarine website or your local dealer for a full list of the
components included with your autopilot system.
Optional:
• Position data source – The autopilot uses position data when following routes and calculating the
optimum course to steer. This data is usually supplied by a GNSS receiver on the SeaTalkng ®
backbone.
SeaTalkng ®
SeaTalkng ® (Next Generation) is an enhanced protocol for connection of compatible marine
instruments and equipment. It replaces the older SeaTalk and SeaTalk2 protocols.
SeaTalkng ® utilizes a single backbone which compatible equipment connects to using a spur. Data
and power are carried within the backbone. Devices that have a low draw can be powered from the
network, although high current equipment will need to have a separate power connection.
SeaTalkng ® is a proprietary extension to NMEA 2000 and the proven CAN bus technology.
Compatible NMEA 2000 and SeaTalk and SeaTalk2 devices can also be connected using the
appropriate interfaces or adaptor cables as required.
Multiple data sources (MDS)
MDS is a Raymarine scheme for managing multiple sources of identical data types on any single
network (e.g.: in a MFD network you may have more than one source of GPS / GNSS position data).
The following data types can have a preferred source assigned to them:
• GPS Position
• GPS Datum
• Time & Date
• Heading
• Depth
• Speed
• Wind
For MDS to be available on your system, all products in the system that use the data sources must
be MDS-compliant. The system will report any products that are NOT MDS-compliant. It may be
possible to upgrade the software for these non-compliant products, to make them compliant. Visit
the Raymarine website (
www.raymarine.com ) to obtain the latest software for your products.
