YACHT DEVICES NMEA NETWORK BRIDGE – STng MALE – YDNB-07R

The Yacht Devices NMEA Network Bridge allows you to connect two physical
marine networks in to a single network allowing messages and data to be
smoothly transmitted between them

Or YDNB-07N – with NMEA2000 connector

Two year manufacturer warranty and on-line technical support for the lifetime of
the product

We stock a wide range of Yacht Devices marine electronics products –
if you don’t see what you are looking for, please get in touch – we can supply the
entire range to order

This can accomplish the following tasks:

Bypass the physical limits of NMEA 2000 networks concerning length of networks (100 meters for regular cable and 250 meters for heavy or mid-type cable) and concerning the maximum number (50) of physical devices attached to the network. On a network with address capacity of 252, multiple bridges can be engaged to expand to around 250 physical devices.
Isolate devices from each other. Using the simple filter, you can block transmission of all or of selected messages from a given device in a separate subnet.
Ensure proper functioning of equipment. Correct the transducer offset of the depth sounder, or “delete” invalid data in messages from equipment that is only partially operational using a 2- or 3-line script.
Ensure compatibility of equipment from different generations. You can create and send any type of NMEA 2000 message using data from other messages in the network.
Diagnose malfunctions in the NMEA 2000 network. The Device can record network messages and debug data from custom programs on a MicroSD card in a text file. You can view the data in a standard text editor on a smartphone or tablet with a MicroSD slot, there is no need for a computer. You can even create and edit programs for the Device right on your phone!
Free diagnostics software is supplied for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. It allows to play, view and convert binary log files with NMEA 2000 messages from both CAN interfaces.
Safely connect devices that do not meet NMEA 2000 standards. One of the CAN-interfaces on the device has high-voltage galvanic isolation and can operate at a higher supply voltage.
Create gateways for networks based on CAN protocol operating at a speed of 50, 125, 250, 500 and 1000 kbps. The programming language of the device is not designed for full-fledged applications, but one can create, for example, a gateway from a J1939 network to NMEA 2000.
Distrubute encrypted programs protected from unauthorized copying and/or modification.

The Bridge is equipped with two connectors (on CAN1 and CAN2 network interfaces) compatible with Raymarine SeaTalk NG or with two connectors compatible with NMEA 2000 Micro Male (used in Garmin networks). For other networks, an adaptor cable may be required. Drawing of connectors is available in Appendix C of the User Manual.

The Bridge contains a built-in compiler of a simple programming language. You can create programs on any device with a MicroSD socket and a text editor, and upload programs to the Bridge with MicroSD card.
