Garmin GPS 17x NMEA 2000 Technical Reference for Garmin NMEA 2000 Products - Page 3

Introduction Introduction A NMEA 2000 network consists of connected NMEA 2000 devices that communicate using basic plug-and-play functionality. This technical reference provides basic NMEA 2000 component identification, basic NMEA 2000 network-building instructions, and a list of NMEA 2000specific data used with Garmin NMEA 2000-certified displays and sensors. • The first section, NMEA 2000 Fundamentals, provides descriptions of the NMEA 2000 connectors and cables sold by Garmin, and the fundamental concepts of installing a NMEA 2000 network on your boat. • The second section, General NMEA 2000 Data Type Requirements, provides a table to help you determine which NMEA 2000 sensors provide the particular data type you want. • The last two sections provide Parameter Group Number (PGN) information for Garmin chartplotters and marine instruments as well as configuration and PGN information for Garmin NMEA 2000 sensors. These sections contain PGN and configuration information for the following products: ◦ GPSMAP® 4000/5000/6000/7000 Series chartplotters ◦ GPSMAP 700 Series chartplotters ◦ GPSMAP 4x1/5x1/5x6 Series chartplotters ◦ GMI™ 10 ◦ GPS 17x ◦ GFS™ 10 ◦ GRA™ 10 ◦ GET™ 10 ◦ GFL™ 10 ◦ GBT™ 10 ◦ GST™ 10 ◦ Intelliducers™ ◦ GWS™ 10 ◦ GHP™ 10 (CCU and GHC™ 10) ◦ GXM™ 51 ◦ VHF 200/300 ◦ AIS 300 ◦ AIS 600 Note: PGN information is also included in the installation instructions provided with the Garmin NMEA 2000-certified device. Sensor configuration information is also included in a Sensor Configuration Guide provided with each Garmin NMEA 2000-certified sensor. • At the end is a checklist. Use this checklist when installing a NMEA 2000 network to be sure you have correctly followed installationcritical procedures.
