pretvornik SeaTalk NG (M) v DeviceNet (Ž)

The Raymarine A06082 adapter is designed to ensure interoperability between Raymarine's SeaTalk NG data bus systems and NMEA2000 networks. It enables the connection of devices with a male SeaTalk NG interface to NMEA2000 devices or a backbone via a female DeviceNet connection.

The Raymarine A06082 adapter features a male SeaTalk NG connector and a female DeviceNet connector. This means it is designed to plug into a female SeaTalk NG port and provide a female DeviceNet connection, compatible with NMEA 2000 networks.

SeaTalk NG is Raymarine's proprietary communication system, which is compatible with the NMEA2000 standard. DeviceNet is a registered trademark and forms the physical basis of the NMEA2000 protocol. This adapter creates a direct physical link between these two systems, making it easier to integrate Raymarine equipment into existing NMEA2000 networks and vice versa.

The adapter integrates as a spur cable on the main SeaTalk NG backbone. It allows an NMEA2000 device to function as a node on the SeaTalk NG network, or to connect a SeaTalk NG segment to an existing NMEA2000 network. The SeaTalk NG backbone must be terminated with two terminators for correct operation.

Yes, it is mandatory to use network terminations. A SeaTalk NG network, like any CAN bus network such as NMEA 2000, requires a terminator at each end of the main backbone cable to ensure proper data transmission. The adapter itself does not replace the backbone terminations.

Yes, SeaTalk NG cables and connectors are color-coded to simplify installation and reduce the risk of incorrect connections. The main backbone cable is blue, while spur cables (branches), such as those connecting to this adapter, are white. A specific power cable is also provided and is marked with a red stripe.

No, this adapter is specifically designed to link a SeaTalk NG network to an NMEA 2000 (DeviceNet) network. To connect older SeaTalk(1) products to a SeaTalk NG network, specific adapter cables or Raymarine products with bridging capability (such as certain ST70 instruments) are required, but not this adapter directly.

DeviceNet is a trademark of the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association Inc. and represents the physical layer of the NMEA2000 protocol. In other words, the physical connectors and wiring used for NMEA2000 are often based on the DeviceNet specification. This is why the adapter is described as SeaTalk NG to DeviceNet, as it provides the NMEA2000-compatible physical connection.
