NMEA 2000

Connect and Display NMEA 2000 Sensor Data

With SoftDisplay Gen3, you can now easily monitor data from NMEA 2000 devices located throughout the entire vessel, including engines, J1939 Engine gateways, Weather stations, Compass Heading, GPS, Water Depth / Speed / Temperature and Fuel Flow sensors.

The NMEA 2000 backbone is connected to Krill's Black Box Processor utilizing an N2K Interface kit, which consists of a USB gateway, and all required cabling, power and termination components.

Engine Interface

Engines that output NMEA 2000 such as Yamaha or Evinrude may be connected directly to the NMEA 2000 bus. All modern electronic Diesel engine manufacturers such as Cummins, Catepillar, Detroit, MAN, etc have industry J1939 CAN bus connections available. These type of engines can be connected to the NMEA 2000 bus through a J1939 Gateway.
Mechanical engines require an adapter that converts the existing analog senders such as Oil Pressure and Coolant Temperature to the J1939 standard. Depending on the engine and the existing analog gauges, new senders may be required.
