Figure 1-1 SimNet network
SimNet is a data network that makes interconnection and
integration of Simrad products simple. SimNet permits the
exchange of data between the interfaced products and enables
the flow of commands and proprietary instructions between the
various SimNet compatible products. The data transfer capability
of SimNet is 50 times higher than the NMEA0183 standard.
SimNet is based on NMEA2000, the marine industry’s new
standard for interfacing equipment. The majority of SimNet
products are NMEA2000 certified (page 38).
The advanced SimNet Plug & Play (P&P) software provides
flexibility and automatic interface capability to Simrad products.
Interface of previous models of Simrad products that are not
SimNet compatible and non-Simrad products also benefit from
this P&P software. (See page 38 for SimNet compatible
products.) Products with only NMEA0183 interface capability
can be connected to SimNet via separate converter units (page
23, 44) or via Simrad products that has a built-in capability to
convert NMEA0183 to SimNet (page 38).
