[CA] C90W Upgrade to Axion Pro with 3D Imaging

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Wlaks,

Q1. Compatible with Axiom Pro MFD?:
Q1a. Raymarine c90w MFD
A1a. Axiom MFDs may only reside within the same Ethernet Network with other MFDs designed to run LightHouse 3 software. The C90W may be interfaced to the STng backbone to which the Data Master Axiom / Axiom Pro MFD as also been interfaced to support continued use of the C90W as a chartplotter to support monitoring of alphanumeric GPS, instrument, navigational, alarm, and system state data.

Q1b. DSM 30.
A1b. Negative

Q1c. Raymarine st70 auto pilot
A1c. Yes

Q1d. Raymarine s-100 auto pilot remote
A1d. May be adapted via SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter kit

Q1e. Airmarb-60-12 Transducer
A1e. Only if the transducer's cable plug (not that of an extension or adapter) is designed to be directly mated to the DSM30. If so, then it may be adapted for use with the Axiom Pro RVX MFD.

Q1f. Raymarine Rd 418 Radar
A1f. Yes

Q2. Since I will not be using the C90W for the fish graph is the DSM 30 taken out?
A2. See the response to Q1e. If the answer is yes, then the DSM30 may be removed from the system.

Q3. Transducer would be a through hull one which I would remove the old transducer. I need your recommendation on part number.
A3. I'm confused. Will you be keeping or replacing the Airmarb-60-12 Transducer? Is this the thru-hull which you are seeking to replace?

Q4. How would the new system be weared in to my current system.
A4. The Data Master Axiom / Axiom Pro MFD would be interfaced as a spur to the SeaTalkng backbone. As the system will feature only three devices designed to communicate via an Ethernet network (e.g. Axiom RVX MFD, additional Axiom / Axiom Pro MFD, and RD418), the two MFDs may be interfaced to one another via an appropriate length of RayNet (F) to RayNet (F) Cable. The SeaTalkhs Cable which had interfaced the radome to the MFD may be adapted (A80160) to be mated to one of the two Network sockets of the Axiom Pro 9 RVX MFD. When so interfaced, the Axiom MFDs will share all system resources with one another.
