[CA] [CA11] Interfacing E80 Classic with RL80C

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum hgispert,

Unfortunately, E-Series Classic MFDs (E80, E120) are not designed to be interfaced to hsb/hsb2 Pathfinder Series Displays ... and certainly not in a manner which would support the degree of resource and data sharing which you have inquired about. While it is possible to interface a hsb/hsb2 Pathfinder Series Display to the same SeaTalk bus to which an E-Series Classic MFD (via its SeaTalk/Alarm Cable) has also been interfaced, communications would be limited to alphanumeric, GPS, instrument, navigational, and system status data between these systems. Correspondingly, it is not possible for E-Series Classic MFDs to share graphical data such as cartography, radar, fishfinder, or Sirius Marine Weather with any product other than another E-Series Classic MFD.
