Interfacing an RL70crc plus to AC400

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum John,

For the benefit of others: while no waypoint ever produced by Raymarine was designed to receive waypoints, its autopilots are designed to receive navigational data from a chartplotting product to utilize the autopilot's Track mode feature. Transmission of such navigational data by the chartplotting product is initiated by commanding the chartplotting product to Go To Waypoint / Cursor or to Follow Route. This remains true of Raymarine's Evolution autopilots. Installation of a SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter Kit (updated with the latest available Raymarine product software update to the powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng backbone which will be used to network the Evolution autopilot component to one another will in turn permit the autopilot to communicate with your current system. The currently installed SeaTalk bus which the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter will be interfaced to will need to be disconnected from its present source of power, as power will be provided to the SeaTalk bus by the SeaTalkng backbone (via the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter).
