Marcot,

Q1. Axiom need its cartography
A1. Correct

Q2. E120 can be interfaced to Axiom via a SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 converter (Ray A06061) but no cartography, radar, fishfinder, waypoint/route/track data on the E120. cartography, radar, fishfinder, waypoint/route/track dataonly on the Axiom.
A2. Cartography will only be available to the Axiom MFD if a compatible chart card is present within the Axiom MFD's memory card reader. Radar will only be available to the Axiom MFD if it has been interfaced via Ethernet communications to a Digital/HD Digital/Quantum/Quantum 2 radome or HD/SuperHD/Magnum open array radar system. Fishfinder features will only be supported by an Axiom MFD when the Axiom MFD has been interfaced to a compatible fishfinder transducer or has been interfaced via Ethernet communications to a compatible fishfinder sounder module(s) which in turn have been interfaced to a compatible transducer(s).

Q3.when you say "When interfaced via a common backbone" what is it?
A3. Click on the link provided within my initial response to learn more about how a powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone is constructed from SeaTalkng networking components. The Data Master E-Series Classic MFD will be interfaced to a spur socket within the backbone via an A06061 E-Series to SeaTalkng Adaptor Cable. As Axiom MFDs feature a DeviceNet Socket (M) for SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 communications and per the FAQ found here, then one the following adapters may be used to interface the product as a spur to a SeaTalkng backbone:
- A06045 / 15.7in (0.4m) SeaTalkng Spur to DeviceNet (F)
- A06075 / 39.4in (1.0m) SeaTalkng Spur to DeviceNet (F)
- A06082 DeviceNet (F) to SeaTalkng (M) Adapter and an appropriate length of SeaTalkng Spur Cable.

Q4. if I add only the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter E22158, I disconnect the E120 (which will display only chart+gps) and the data of the various st 60+ S3G smartpilot will be on the Axiom.
A4. If the Data Master MFD is disconnected from the SeaTalk bus, you may well also be disconnecting it from its source of GPS data. I would recommend interfacing the Data Master E-Series MFD and Axiom MFD to the system as specified within this response and my initial response.
