3.1.2. Connecting the IEC Data Interface Cable
The AIS Transponder receives data from the ship’s sensors through a data interface
cable which is connected to the back of the transponder through a data port. IMO
regulations require that the ship heading, speed–over–ground (SOG), course–over–
ground (COG), rate–of–turn (ROT) and position be transmitted from the AIS. In or-
der to meet these requirements, the L-3 ProTec provides six (6) data channels to al-
low the AIS to be connected to the ships Gyrocompass and DGPS system in accor-
dance with NMEA 0183.
The L3 AIS is shipped with one IEC interface cable P/N 024M0599-00. All IEC/Pilot
communications with the AIS is referenced with the L-3 ProTec considered the
“MASTER” in that transmit data is OUTPUT from the L-3 ProTec, and receive data is
INPUT to the L-3 ProTec. All channels are isolated with individual shielded twisted
pair cables. For more inforomation, refer to Figure 4–3. The IEC connector (J4) is
located on the back of the L-3 ProTec. (Refer to IEC 61993–2 annex D. and NMEA
0183) IEC channels 1, 2, and 3 are RECEIVE ONLY sensor inputs. Differential data
(RS422) is received on each of these channels and internally converted to TTL for
input to a standard UART. Channels 4, 5, and 8 are all RS422 interfaces. IEC chan-
nels 4 and 5 are TRANSMIT/RECEIVE channels for AIS data. IEC channel 8 is the
AIS long range port.
3.1.2.1 Data Channels
Data enters the Transponder through six (6) available data channels. Three data
channels are low speed unidirectional (4800 baud) channels suitable for data input
to the transponder. The other three data channels are high speed bidirectional
channels (38400 baud) which support both input and output to/from the transponder.
The channels are described below by channel number and type. Suggested uses of
each channel are provided but it is not required that a user define the channels in
this fashion. The internal software in the transponder is able to distinguish the type
of data feeding from each channel provided all data streams subscribe to the IEC
61162 format (NMEA 0183).
Table 3–1. Data Channels
Channel BAUD Type Suggested Use
1 4800 Receive dGPS (COG, SOG, LAT, LON)
2 4800 Receive Rate of Turn
3 4800 Receive Heading (Gyro)
4 38400 Transmit / Receive PC Application
5 38400 Transmit / Receive ARPA/ECDIS
8 38400 Transmit / Receive Long Range Tracking (Dedicated)
