I am planning the replacement of my Northstar 972 with a new TZT2. The 972, which "drove" the autopilot, was integrated with my Navnet system including the Nav pilot 500 and FAP 5002 processor. I Also have a Furuno monitor as part of the Navnet system which is integrated with my Furuno radar. I have attached a sketch of my existing processor wiring.
Any advice on how best to integrate the new TZT2? I plan to keep the Furuno components functioning as-is for the most part and simply want to replace the 972 with the TZT2.
Will I need to convert the NMEA 0183 from my autopilot to NMEA 2000 in order to receive data from my existing devices and sensors to the new TZT2? Or do I simply output from the NMEA 0183 port on the TZT2 to the autopilot?
Assuming I need to convert NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000, is the IF-NMEA2K2 the appropriate converter?
