[CA11] Integration of Mercury NMEA2000 Gateway
This weekend I installed a Mercury NMEA2000 gateway. I have attached a network diagram showing how it was integrated into my eS127 MFD and SeaTalkng network.
I noted the following issues: 1) After installing the Mercury NMEA2000 gateway, I followed the Lighthouse II instructions around running the "Engine Identification Wizard". However I would get an error that it could not detect any engine data. My only option was to skip to the next engine, where I followed the instructions again to only have it report it couldn't see any engine data. I attached a picture showing the MFD detecting the gateway as "Gateway CAN-P MULTI". I was about to give up - when I went to the Data Page in the MFD - and it was correctly showing the RPMs for both port and starboard engines as well as other engine data. So in the end - it seems to be working- but still odd that the Engine Wizard reported that it couldn't see any data when the MFD was clearly receiving data. Is there a bug with the Engine Wizard in the MFD or Lighthouse software? 2) I was able to add my Port fuel tank onto the MFD data page just fine, but the Starboard fuel tank showed no data. I went back into the setup, and pretended that I had 3 fuel tanks instead of 2. Then the MFD was then able to see data from my Starboard fuel tank as tank 3. Is this an issue with Mercury or the gateway incorrectly reporting the tank as tank 3 instead of tank 2, or is this a MFD or Lighthouse issue? Thank you! |
