I found these links using google. Some of the postings were older but they seem to show the Actisense NDC-2-B didn't support NMEA 2000; at least during that time. Actisense would be the place to ask.
But, what about connecting B&G Hydra 2000 to NN3D? when I got into this wiring nightmare, the NN3D was reading gibberish from B&G. It was routed through actisense NDC 2B. The B&G FFD (full function display is reading info just fine), so it's not the B&G processor output. Is there a way to connect B&G to NN3d through the Data @ cable, port two or three?
Hi
We got B&G Hydra 2000 wind info on our NN3D plotter. Unfortunately I´m not able to tell you how it is wired, since this was done by the previous owner and i´m not familiar with the details of this, but yes i can confirm it´s possible to show Hydra 2000 info on a NN3D plotter.
I´ve found this info on Furunousa web site: Does MFD have a capability to convert NMEA2000<-->NMEA0183?
The NMEA0183 sentences and NMEA2000 PGNs that are used and accepted in
the system can be converted and output with either/both NMEA0183/NMEA2000
format (except for the engine data that is input only). Note that only one type of
data can be output at a time (one position, one depth, one heading…).
Ok Gyda, thank you. Ok, now how does that work. I need Sea Water Temperature to come through...the NN3D seems to be reading good output sentences from B&G but I'm not seeing STW (or SWT, whatever). how do I find this?
I went into Installation Wizard and checked "Sea Temperature" as the only input in Port 1; which is DATA 1 cable port I believe. Am I missing something?
Okay, SST, but I still need to know how to get it on the NN3D. I've got my B&G hooked, giving clear sentences. I clicked Sea Temperature on the Input side in Port 1. I also clicked Port 1 sensor the Sounder folder instead of DFF1 (We thinnk our DFF1 SSt is faulty).
Does your transducer attached to the DFF1 include a thermistor? They can eventually go bad.
If you are listening to the Hydra does it have an MTW output?
