Digital Interface
• Input sentences: ACN, GGA, RMC, VTG, ZDA
• Output sentences: ALC, ALF, ALR, POS, VBW, VHW, VLW
• Transmission interval: 1 s for VBW, VHW, VLW
• Data transmission
Data is transmitted in serial asynchronous form in accordance with the standard referenced in
2.1 of IEC 61162-1/2. The first bit is a start bit and is followed by data bits, least-significant-bit
as illustrated below.
The following parameters are used:
Baud rate: 38400 bps/4800 bps
Data bits: 8 (D7 = 0), parity none
Stop bits: 1
• Data digit
The ship’s speed data (VBW, VHW) has two digits after the decimal point (default setting). To
change digit after the decimal point, set S4 of the DIP switch to ON on the DST board of the
distributor unit.
