The SIMKIT-3 has all you need to build yourself a SimNet (Simrad Intelligent Marine Network) Network and add it to an existing NMEA 2000 network!
Tweet
SimNet is a data network that makes interconnection and integration of Simrad products simple. This unique marine electronics network system has proven to be one of the most reliable and easy to use networks in the marine industry. 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 this system 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.
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.
