Detailed description

The Raymarine ECI-100 universal engine and control interface, part number E70227, is designed to integrate engine data into SeaTalkng networks. It converts data from NMEA 2000 and J1939 engine buses for display on compatible Raymarine multifunction displays.

Integration and compatibility

This bridge module centralizes propulsion data for single-engine or multi-engine setups (two or more engines) with shared or separate CAN buses. The ECI-100 supports NMEA 2000 and J1939 protocols, covering a wide range of engine types. It is compatible with Raymarine multifunction displays running LightHouse software version 8 or later, as well as legacy MFDs such as the C-Classic series (C70, C80, C120), A-Classic series (A50, A50D, A57D, A70, A70D), and E-Classic series (E80, E120).

Design and installation

Measuring 109.2 mm long, 67.5 mm wide, and 30.2 mm high, the ECI-100 fits discreetly. Installation requires proper grounding and adequate fuse protection. For multi-engine systems, a motor identification assistant is available via LightHouse MFDs to configure data display order. The unit complies with EMC directive 2004/108/EC for electromagnetic compatibility. It meets IPX sealing standards, but exposure to high-pressure cleaners is not covered under warranty.

« Raymarine ECI-100 engine integration: J1939 and NMEA 2000 gateway to SeaTalkng »

The Raymarine ECI-100 engine interface is a critical component for navigators seeking centralized and accurate visualization of propulsion data on their Raymarine navigation system. Its primary function is to translate proprietary or standard engine protocols such as J1939 and NMEA 2000 into a format compatible with the SeaTalkng network. This offers significant practical value for boats equipped with modern engines, which are often natively incompatible with multifunction displays without a dedicated gateway.

Regarding installation, the ECI-100 is designed to be mounted in a protected environment. The procedure for single-engine installations is straightforward, but for multi-engine setups, the engine identification assistant on LightHouse or Legacy MFDs is essential. It is critical to follow the engine-by-engine identification steps precisely to ensure correct and orderly data display (port, center, starboard). The requirement to have the engine running during this identification phase is a practical constraint to anticipate. Although the device is resistant to water spray (IPX standard), it is advisable to install it away from high-pressure washdowns that could compromise its long-term waterproofing.

The ECI-100’s differentiation lies in its ability to standardize engine data from diverse sources within the Raymarine ecosystem, including older generations of multifunction displays. This extends the useful life of existing installations while providing functional upgrades. It is particularly suitable for recreational and workboats that benefit from comprehensive integration of onboard information, thus avoiding the proliferation of analog gauges or engine-specific displays. However, it is not intended for SOLAS or IMO applications, and its use should be limited to recreational or light-duty workboats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the Raymarine ECI-100 interface and what is it used for?

The Raymarine ECI-100 engine and control interface (part number E70227) is a gateway module designed to integrate engine propulsion data into the Raymarine SeaTalkng network. It converts data from engine NMEA 2000 and J1939 buses, enabling display on compatible Raymarine multifunction displays. This centralizes engine data display for single- or multi-engine configurations.

Which engine types or engine bus protocols are compatible with the ECI-100 interface?

The ECI-100 interface is compatible with a wide range of engine configurations. It supports the NMEA 2000 and J1939 engine bus protocols. It can be used for single-engine or multi-engine (more than two) setups, whether the CAN buses are shared or separate.

What are the physical dimensions of the ECI-100 interface?

The ECI-100 interface has compact dimensions, making it easy to integrate discreetly. Its dimensions are:

Length: 109.2 mm Width: 67.5 mm Height: 30.2 mm

What are the power supply and electrical protection requirements for installing the ECI-100?

For correct and safe installation of the ECI-100, it is essential to:

Check that the unit is properly connected to ground. Protect the power supply with a fuse of the appropriate rating or an automatic circuit breaker. Never connect this unit to a system with a positive ground. Always disconnect the boat's electrical power before installing or disconnecting the unit.

What are the recommendations to avoid electromagnetic interference when installing the ECI-100?

For optimal EMC performance and to minimize interference, the ECI-100 and its cables should be:

At least 1 metre (3 feet) away from any device emitting or any cable carrying radio signals (e.g., VHF transceivers). For Single Sideband (SSB) radios, this distance should be increased to 2 metres (7 feet). More than 2 metres (7 feet) from the path of a radar beam. Powered by a battery different from the one used for engine starting to prevent erratic system behavior.If non-Raymarine cables are used, it is mandatory to attach a ferrite choke to the cable near the Raymarine device.

How to configure the data display order for multi-engine systems with the ECI-100?

For multi-engine systems, a motor identification assistant is available via Raymarine multifunction displays running LightHouse software (version 8 or later). This assistant lets you configure the display order of engine data (for example, port, center port, center, center starboard, starboard) so it appears correctly on your MFD’s engine data pages. For single-engine systems, this configuration is not required.

Does the ECI-100 warranty cover water damage if the device is cleaned with a pressure washer?

No. Although the ECI-100 interface meets the IPX waterproofing standard, damage caused by exposure to a pressure washer jet is not covered by the Raymarine warranty. It is recommended to avoid using pressure washers directly on the device.
