Dear SOL68,
Thank you for your post.
Is the Garmin wind instrument NMEA2000?
What else have you got networked together?
Is the backbone evenly loaded and correctly terminated?
If you can send a system schematic to us we can take a look to ensure everything is correct.
Many Thanks
Louise

Dear SOL68,
Thank you for your post.
How are you connecting this system together?
Have you got a NMEA2000 backbone that is correctly terminated?
How does the Garmin wind communicate?
Please send a system diagram to me to look over, I can then feedback any suggestions I have.
Many Thanks
Louise

Dear SOL68,
Thank you for the diagram.
The SPX5 will not bridge information from STng to ST1. This is why you are not getting any information on your ST6002.
I recommend getting a ST1 to STng convertor (part no E22158) and installing this to connect your ST6002 and S100 to the STng network.
You can find more information about this product here.
Many Thanks
Louise

Dear SOL68,
Is the STng backbone being powered from the course computer? If this is the case you will need to provide it with an independent power supply. The master data selection is being blocked by the course computer.
Please contact me at [email protected]
Many Thanks
