Raython 4000 NMEA0183 to Simnet

[Bekkis]

Is it possible to get NMEA0183 input and output info from the Raython 4000 autopilot to simnet?

What I want is to get data from the autopilot compass to show radar chart overlay and MARPA on my B&G Vulcan 9. I also want to control the Autopilot from the chart plotter sailing to waypoints and by wind vane.

My plan is to use a converter, AT 44, AT 10 or actisence to convert the signals.

I world be grateful for any good advice.

Yes. Use the converter. If the Vulcan does not have nmea 183. (The evos and Zeus do)

Vulcan does not have NMEA0183....

How do I Connect NMEA 0183 out from the Raython St4000?

The ST4000 only allows input over NMEA0183.
Output is over SeaTalk1.

You should be able to do everything you want over SeaTalk1 using a Raymarine E22158 SeaTalk 1 to SeaTalkng(NMEA2000) Converter Kit and a Raymarine A06046 SeaTalkng to NMEA 2000 cable.

Or if all you want to do is send track data to the autopilot you could use the Actisense NGW-1 or the Simrad AT10 with a Simrad 24005729 cable.

The Vulcan uses the standard NMEA2000 connector not the old SimNet connector.

If you use the Raymarine setup mentioned above you will not have to build a NMEA2000 Backbone. If you use the Actisense or Simrad setup you will need to build a NMEA2000 backbone.

Therefore the best and cheapest option is to use the E22158 and A06046. Not to mention this option is simply plug and play.

I have fitted the KIT, everything works perfect.
