Everything you need to know about NMEA2000.
📌 Short description:
The SVB NMEA2000 video tutorial provides an insight into the basics of the latest NMEA network standard It explains how to setup an NMEA2000 network and how to extend it. We hope the tutorial will help you with the installation of NMEA2000 components onboard and show how an NMEA2000 network can be used.

💡 What is NMEA2000?
The NMEA network protocol was developed in the 1980s by the National Marine Electronics Association, with the aim of creating a uniform standard for data transmission between devices of different types and from different manufacturers. With it, GPS, wind, depth, AIS, speed, engine & compass data can be exchanged between, for example Simrad, Garmin and Raymarine devices. An NMEA2000 interface is required to do so. Images, such as from radar and fishfinder, as well as map content, cannot be transmitted via the NMEA2000 protocol.
💡 NMEA0183 vs. NMEA2000
Compared to the NMEA0183 system, the NMEA2000 network is much easier to install. While NMEA0183 networks involve a relatively cumbersome process of connecting open cable ends using luster terminals, NMEA2000 technology has connectors that can be easily connected using appropriate T-pieces, network cables and multiple distributors.
💡 The 6 fundamental components of every NMEA2000 network
- 1. NMEA2000 Backbone
- 2. NMEA2000 Terminal Resistor
- 3. NMEA2000 Line Cable
- 4. NMEA2000 Power Cable
- 5. NMEA2000 Display
- 6. NMEA2000 Transducers

Thanks! this is the best and most informative video I have watched on NMEA2000.

[@xesusdevila7520]

Excellent, concise tutorial. Thanks!

[@FinnishPanther]

This was brilliant, thank you!

[@americasailingclub]

Great info!

[@ke3552]

Nice work, thanks. Subbed.

[@adricspiteri1908]

Thanks very much

[@asennaydenov6461]

Brilliant Thank you! Do you know any other wind transducer then B&G can work. VDO ,Simrad and Garmin.

[@robertraft]

sweet, im taking the classes next week. im stressed. thank you.

[@kme8134]

Hi, who are you doing the classes through and what qualification is it for? Thanks

[@robertraft]

@@kme8134 mei basic and advanced classes plus the nmea 2000 class.

[@robertraft]

@@kme8134 it is through nmea the info is online

[@kme8134]

@@robertraft Many thanks! I will have a look.

[@tonyebeyer]

Great explanation, thank you! A question: Could the wind sensor have been added without adding the last T connector, instead connecting it where the terminator was in the original setup? (Since the wind sensor already has a terminator).

[@SVBteam]

Hi Tony, you should use an T-Piece to connect the wind sensor to the NMEA2000 network. You can use a dummy cap where normally the resistor will take place to make the network waterproof. www.svb24.com/en/nmea2000-nmea2000-dummy-cap-female-micro-c.html www.svb24.com/en/nmea2000-nmea2000-dummy-cap-male-micro-c.html

[@bearingSSW]

What for are those terminators? Can I switch on power to check if the sensor is working without terminators?

[@JohannesNeumeier]

Wenn der Windsensor auch als Endstück dient könnte der auch am Backbone-"Arm" angeschlossen werden, oder kommen Sensoren immer an die wegstehende Part des T-Stücks? Also sind die seitlichen und der stehende Anschlüss am T-Stück funktionell unterschiedlich voneinander, oder dient die Konvention lediglich der Klarheit?

[@SVBteam]

Hallo, um das Netzwerk nach dem NMEA2000 Standard aufzubauen, sollten die Sensoren an den abgehenden Anschluss der T-Stücke angeschlossen werden. Diese Anschlüsse sind in der Regel weiblich, sodass die Geber bzw. die Sensoren über einen männlichen Anschlussstecker verfügen. Die Backboneseite des Netzwerkes verfügt über eine weibliche und eine männliche Seite. Die seitlichen und der weggehende Anschluss der T-Stücke verfügen über die gleiche Pinbelegung welche strom- & datenführende Leitungen beinhaltet.

[@benlyons5884]

Quick question, why isnt the acronym NEMA if it stands for National Electronics Marine Association, but always referenced as NMEA

[@SVBteam]

This is a really good question, Ben! You're the first one to notice our technicians little mix up. :-) NMEA stands for National Marine Electronics Association

[@nelsongilbert1695]

They r your enemy. (N M E)

[@AthelstanEngland]

Thank you excellent demo. So the two terminators can be anywhere on the network it's not like the old ethernet daisy chains then? PS as you're German I completely excuse the europop music :)

[@SVBteam]

Hi thank you very much for your comment, it´s recommended to place one terminator at each end of the network. The wind sensor is a special case because it´s in general the part with the major distance to the network/backbone.

[@castineirachannel]

Is work to honda 2003

[@backthebadge4009]

How do you know the wind sensor had a terminating resistor?

[@SVBteam]

Hi, it's usually commonplace for wind transmitters to have a resisitor preinstalled. Some manufacturers provide this information within their manuals.

[@04piaci]

@@SVBteam What if i want to connect more devices (2 or 3), but all of them have preinstal lterminating resistor ?

[@SVBteam]

@@04piaci Hi Jozef, according to the NMEA2000 specifications more than two resistors can interrupt the data transfer, so this should be avoided. We know only about windvanes which have an intergrated resistor and your will rarely install more than two windvanes.

[@chuckcelestine6558]

Hi, does the chartplotter need to be on a separate power source? Great video

[@SVBteam]

Hello Chuck, that is correct. The chartplotter needs a separate power source. Best regards, SVB Team

[@briangilliland3620]

Good tutorial but the music was bloody awful

[@johnryan2193]

What about earthing ?

[@SVBteam]

Hi John, our NMEA2000 Powercable have an grounding wire which you can connect to your grounding plate.

[@keithkirkland1539]

Brilliant video shame about the music making it harder to follow

[@crazypict]

Good video but terrible music...

[@flash521]

Why can’t they develop a means to send the data via Blue Tooth? Do away with wires.

[@gabrielpopa5761]

I don't understand what are you saying, switch off the idiotic music

[@l.michaels4826]

The music was beyond annoying. I couldn't watch more than two minutes of the video.
