NMEA 2000
Seattle Boat Show 2009
Popular Communication Protocols on Boats
•
NMEA 0183 most known for marine electronics
•
•
Ethernet
•
•
Most common, no marine industry standard, high speed, high
bandwith mostly used for images
Proprietary Networks
•
•
Point to point communication, low speed
Closed systems with no integration of other manufacturers
products
NMEA 2000
•
•
•
Built on Controller Area Network (CAN)
CAN used for real time controller
Used in automotive and robotic industries
NMEA 2000
Seattle Boat Show 2009
NMEA 0183 Communications
•
Introduced in 1983
•
•
•
•
Single talker, multiple listener
NMEA 0183 not a network (point to point communication)
Can result in very complex wiring systems
Operates at 4.8 kilobits/sec
•
Delivers 6-8 messages (sentences)/sec
•
•
Terrific for simpler applications
Device to device connectivity

NMEA 0183 Shortcomings
•
Communication speed is 4,800 baud or bits per second
•
Highest speed for 0183 is 38,400 baud
•
A compass may output heading message ten times per
second, rate of turn 4 times per second, and vessel attitude
once per second
•
NMEA 0183 simply was not designed to handle the current
volume of traffic nor the integration of devices that
customers want
•
Although NMEA 0183 is a communications standard, no
certification process for products
•
Standard is loosely implemented leading to many
interoperability issues (manufacturer A won’t talk to
manufacturer B equipment)
NMEA 2000
Seattle Boat Show 2009
NMEA 0183 Shortcomings
•
Cable and connectors were not specified as part of
the NMEA 0183 Standard
•
•
•
Plug-n-play very difficult as each manufacturer uses different
plugs and connectors
No standardization of wire color coding
Ambiguities within NMEA 0183 Standard
•
For instance: Heading can be transmitted and interpreted in
one of several different messages leading to interoperability
problems between different manufacturers’ equipment.
NMEA 2000
Seattle Boat Show 2009
Ethernet
•
Ethernet typically used for large data transfers
•
•
No marine industry Ethernet standard
•
•
Each implementation uses proprietary messaging which means
data can not be exchanged across product lines
Ethernet not typically used for industry as real time
control interface
•
•
Examples may include radar images, chart maps, weather
overlay information, and echo sounder images
(i.e., automotive and factory automation industries use
Controller Area Network or CAN)
CAN Technology is more time determinate than
Ethernet allowing critical messages to always get
through
•
(i.e., steering, throttle, and other safety critical data must get
through in a timely fashion)

Why NMEA 2000

NMEA 0183 point-to-point communication requiring
complex wiring systems

NMEA 0183 is not a network

NMEA 0183 lacks bandwidth

NMEA 0183 does not specify physical layer
(cable/connectors) making plug-n-pay difficult

NMEA 0183 has no certification process

Ethernet protocols tend to be used for data intensive
applications and not real time control applications
NMEA 2000

What is CAN (Controller Area Network)
•
(Controller Area Network) CAN
•
•
•
•
•
•
Develop by Intel and Bosch in 1983
Used in control processes for industrial applications
Used in automotive and factory automation
Proven robust error free protocol
• Bit arbitration transmission
Message prioritization scheme
• Critical messages always get thru
Determinate messaging
CAN vs. Ethernet
Controller Area Network
Ethernet
CSMA/BA - Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Bit-wise
Arbitration. Arbitration Loser Ceases Transmission
Immediately – No Data Is Lost
CSMA/CD – Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision
Detection. Collisions Detected 13 to 130 Bits After
Collision – Data Is Irretrievable
Bandwidth Limited by Bit-wise Arbitration – 250 Kbps @
200 Meters
Large Bandwidth – 10 Mbps and Higher @ 100 Meters
Network Frames Limited to 8 Bytes
Network Frames Reach 1500 Bytes and Higher
Multiple Error Checks on All Frames by All Devices, Errors
Flagged at End of Each Frame
Error Detection Occurs at Receiver Only after Entire
Message Is Transmitted
Structured Error Containment Disconnects Nodes Causing
Errors
Jabbering Nodes Continue Until Physically Disconnected
Or Shut-down
Deterministic Throughout Entire Bandwidth – High Priority
Data Always Get Through In A Known Time Period
May Seem Deterministic At Low Utilization, But High
Priority Messages Can Be Significantly Delayed By Large
Low Priority Messages

“NMEA 2000 really works, and it’s going to make
boating better. Simplicity, redundancy, multi
manufacturer flexibility—my first hands-on experience
with NMEA 2000 was, as we say up here in Maine, a
corker!” - Ben Ellison, Power and Motor Yacht, Panbo
“The NMEA, with its NMEA 2000 protocol and
corresponding 'physical layer', is in the forefront of this
revolution, and playing a powerful leadership role.”
