[CA] Axiom N2K connection to Suzuki

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum RGlassman,

Please note that we have received no substantiated reported of problems within the LightHouse 3 software which would cause the reported systems. Please additionally note that the Identify Engines feature is exclusively designed for use with compatible engine systems which have been interfaced to an ECI-100. Please click here to view a FAQ addressing how one would interface an engine(s) to an Axiom MFD. As indicated within the FAQ and as well as the FAQ referenced within, proper assignment of device instance IDs are critical to the MFD reporting data from engines as well as other NMEA 2000 devices. It is strongly suspected that the incorrect device instance is being transmitted within PGNs associated with the missing data items which you have referenced. Please note that the PGNs 127488 (Engine Parameters, Rapid Update) includes the engine RPM and trim data items, while other PGNs supply the missing data items. In this case, I suspect that you will find that the device instance ID included within PGN 127488 is correct, while that included with the other corresponding PGNs may be incorrect. Please click here to view a FAQ addressing how to inspect the data being transmitted by the engine system to the SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone. It would be recommended that a NMEA 2000 bus analyzing tool be interfaced to the SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone to verify the device instances transmitted with corresponding NMEA 2000 PGNs and that all data items within these PGNs are being populated. If so, then please attach screen snapshots displaying the included data for PGNs 127488 (Engine Parameters, Rapid Update), 127489 (Engine Parameters, Dynamic), 127496 (Trip Parameters), Vessel, 127497 (Trip Parameters, Engine). See the example below showing a screen snapshot of the NMEA Reader NMEA 2000 bus analyzer showing the data that is being included within PGN 127250 Vessel Heading:
