MARETRON NMEA 2000 MULTIPORT PDF
Meanwhile, Maretron's Micro/Mid Powertap Tee ( PDF here) is truly split (as is the Actisense QDP), which also helps with the issue of voltage drop in a large N2K network. Note that Maretron obviously sources their Mini Powertap ( PDF here) from the same source, except that theirs has two female backbone connectors, so that if you ever open the network live, the male pins shouldn't be hot (unless the gender was changed somewhere). But testing - and the further research I should have done in the first place - indicate that both power feeds go to both sides of the network, enabling redundant power sources instead of splitting the trunk. I presumed that the two pairs of power leads meant that I could separately switch the two sides of the trunk line, as explained here on Panbo.
The NBE100 solves bus errors and other electrical issues caused by exceeding any of these limitations and makes design of large networks easier. I was also disappointed with this surplus DeviceNet power tap, though it's built like a tank. Maretron's NBE100 (Network Bus Extender) allows you to extend the maximum node count, network trunk length and cumulative drop length of any NMEA 2000 network. Apparently, that's also a common connector architecture for industrial automation, which explains the design of the Turck junction box and the preponderance of Mini size cabling when searching eBay for DeviceNet cable listings. I've only seen the misnamed Mini connectors - they're 7/8-inch in diameter - on large vessels, generally used for the trunk or backbone cabling with Micro drops to the various devices. Recall that N2K includes two five-pin connector sizes, generally called Mini and Micro and perhaps best seen on this Maretron page. But on a happier note, I'm pretty sure that the eBay purchases above constitute a small, high quality NMEA 2000 network at a bargain price. The N2KMeter is a diagnostic tool for NMEA 2000 networks that allows users to validate NMEA 2000 network compatibility and operations during installation of a device or complete system, and diagnose posible network flaws or failures that occur on an operational network.

In addition, Maretron's N2KBuilder Network Design Software provides a free graphical tool for designing and checking NMEA 2000 Networks it is. NMEA 2000 3 Function Digital Multimeter by Maretron. It turns out that there are many forms of DeviceNet, and several of them are useless for N2K. The Maretron NMEA 2000 Network Installation Guide offers details on Maretron's entire line of cabling and connector products, as well as a guide to planning and installing NMEA 2000 networks.
Simply connect the J2K100 together with the Maretron universal display ( DSM250) or DSM410and GPS antenna/receiver ( GPS200) and you have a system capable of displaying gallons per hour and/or miles per gallon.The cable and connector standard adopted for NMEA 2000 is a subset of the DeviceNet standard used in industrial automation, and if you try to equip your boat with used or surplus DeviceNet gear found online, the term "subset" will take on new meaning. The J2K100 can also be used as part of a complete fuel computer.
This multiport solution creates a more robust NMEA 2000 backbone by reducing issues with breaking points and stress that is induced by long backbones. The J2K100 does not transmit any information over the J1939 network so it will not interfere with existing engine control or status data in any way. Make NMEA 2000 network installations easier with their new multiport T-connector. The J2K100 only listens to the J1939 network and draws no power from it (power is derived from the NMEA 2000 interface). The advantages of using CAN bus are numerous and include low wiring complexity with all components interconnected through a single cabling system. All the information you need is available anywhere and everywhere you need it. Maretron’s products communicate over a Controller Area Network (CAN bus) using the National Marine Electronics Association’s NMEA 2000 protocol. Critical engine, transmission, and genset data is then distributed throughout the vessel over a single cable where it can be monitored by any NMEA 2000 compatible display. Maretron's J2K100 attaches directly into J1939 networks of compatible engines, transmissions, and gensets and converts the J1939 engine data to the NMEA 2000 marine digital interface.
