Re-send - ST290 DPU Depth unit on Seatalkng

[Derek - Raymarine - Moderator]

Hi Jerocu
Further to my previous,

With a DPU in the system it is not going to work very well because of the interaction between ST290 and STng, within the DPU the unit selection is ST2 proprietary data that the converter and the STNG products may not understand, because they are current generation NMEA2000 compliant and SeaTalk2 used by ST290 predated that by a number of years.

The DPU is used to calculate and store settings for the ST290 Displays which do not do any calculated functions, they just repeat the data from the bus.

Our suggestion if you are combining the two networks, is to remove the DPU and use the ST290 displays purely as repeaters for the STNG system.
