Static information about the vessel is sent every few minutes and includes the name, type of vessel, length, beam, draft, etc. The AIS data is sent every few seconds and includes information such as course, speed, latitude, longitude, and heading. It transmits your vessel's position and details and receives the same kind of information from other vessels with AIS transponders. WatchMate XB-6000 is a Class B AIS transponder with a two-channel parallel receiver and transmitter.

A copy of the MMSI Registration or FCC Ship Station License is required along with the vessel master or owner's signature on the completed programming form. Please submit the form below for programming at the time of purchase.
Longer term I may also use the same device with a SIM to let me check on wind speed at the boat from anywhere (the closest wind station only reports data every hour).**As the FCC requires all units sold in the US to be programmed by a qualified technician. I plan on updating my DIY wind instrument to NMEA 2000 and also creating a NMEA 2000 to WiFi device so that we can see transducer data from phones or tablets. I'm not an expert in it by any means, I just started playing around with dumping network traffic to learn the format. There is a reverse engineering of it here: NMEA 2000 is a closed protocol and only documented to those who pay for it and get devices certified. Raymarine doesn't seem to have supported this for too long, on my network my X5 autopilot prevents device negotiation from working properly (and I don't have any duplicate devices to really experiment with). That eliminates duplicate IDs, but I think a different PGN is used to get all devices on the network to identify themselves (it looks like it might be 59904). NMEA 2000 is build on J1939, and that is described pretty well here: Raymarine has an arbitration mechanism to handle multiple devices of the same type on NMEA 2000, but I don't know if this is a generic part of the spec or something proprietary. Two transducers outputting different data and intermixing longer messages (greater than one packet) would cause confusion but wouldn't "crash the bus". I asked because of "Message IDs must be unique on a single CAN bus, otherwise two nodes would continue transmission beyond the end of the arbitration field (ID) causing an error." Sounds like it's not an issue for N2k.ĭepth (PGN 128267) and speed messages (PGN 128259) are both one packet long, so there is no potential for confusion. It will either cause confusion with both reporting, or the system will continue to pay attention to the original one depending on the exact equipment used. ^^^ Is is likely that sticking two of the same type of node on the bus at the same time would crash the bus? Just wondering how critical it would be for the OP to switch out his old speed/depth/ before switching in the new.
