[DG] [DG11] Axiom connection to legacy equipment

[Derek - Raymarine - Moderator]

Hi Matt,

Thankyou for your enquiry

The AXIOM displays share data via Raymarine's STng which is compatible with NMEA2000. The current equipment you have onboard shares data using SeaTalk - a proprietary data protocol from Raymarine.
The AXIOM can be connected to your existing SeaTalk network through a SeaTalk to STng converter, which is described [url=http://forum.raymarine.com/showthread.php?tid=7632]here[url/].
You will need an E22158 converter and an A06075 Devicenet to STng converter cable to link the AXIOM to the Seatalk network.
The new GPS is likely to be STng compatible and will connect to the new STng network that the AXIOM is connected to - remember if using an external GPS to turn OFF the AXIOM internal GPS.

The T1 linear drive will be able to be operated from the current Evolution autopilot electronics, ( EV1, ACU200 and p70S control head)

Regards

Derek
