Can I use the yacht device nmea 2000 to 0183 to connect my vulvan to my autohelm instruments st50 wind & log and st4000+autopilot?
Can I use the yacht device to connect my vulcan to my ICm505 ?
Regards

Unfortunately, ST50 Wind instruments have no NMEA0183 interface ( only ST50+ TRIDATA REPEATER has it). I recommend to use YDNR-02 - it has Seatalk1 interface (so ST50 can be connected), and two 0183 bidirectional ports, where you can connect ST4000 and Icom505. Also it has WiFi interface, so you can control autopilot from your tablet or any marine application (like OpenCPN).

HI sailors
is this compatible with Garmin equipments?
Thanks

Dear Antonio! Please specify exact Garmin equipment you are talking about. A lot of Garmin equipment has single-wire RS232-based TTL-level NMEA0183 interface. YDNG-03 can be connected to such interface, but wiring is slightly different than usual RS422-based NMEA0183 interface ver 2.0 and newer.

Dear Antonio, with NMEA-2000 devices from Garmin the gateway is compatible.

Dear address,
My Bavaria 55 Cruiser have a 2010 Volvo Penta D3 110-C equipped with EVC system. Would this device be able to connect to the motor and give data for the NMEA 2000 system to be able to read motor data on the chart plotter?

op 3 nov. 2022
Dear Zoltan! Do you mean D3-110I-C engine? If so, you should have EVC-C(MC) system. #YDEG-04# is compatible with your engine. YDEG should be connected to X5: Multilink port of the EVC HCU unit, in series with the existing cable. Also check that your chartplotter can display engine data.

Thank you, and i will send a picture about the Motor so please check and give me the confirmation about the motor. I think the motor is D3 110I-C as the picture show but it is not realy good. What do you mean "YDEGschoul be connected to X5" What is X5? I have two chart plotters, main is B&G Zeus3S 12 MFD, the secondary is a B&G Vulcan 9FS.

Dear Zoltan! I apologize for my mistake. On D3 engines with EVC-MC, YDEG-04 must be connected to the 12-pin "Engine" port on the HIU (Helm Interface Unit) using the "EVC-A MC 12-pin C5:ENGINE cable", in series with the existing cable. I confirm that both MFD can display engine data

Device is not reading engine data (not sending anything to the NMEA2000 network). Engine is Volvo Penta D4-260 EVC-D. What can I do? Is there anything in the configuration file I need to adjust?
Andrew C. antwoordde

Dear Padure!
Please check YDEG-04 LED indication – it should blink green-green. If first blink is red, check engine connection (in your case YDEG should be connected to any free port of the Multilink hub), is second blink is red – check NMEA2000 connection. Check if you can observe YDEG-04 in NMEA2000 device list.
When both connections are OK, YDEG-04 should work plug-and-play with your engine, so you should be able to observe engine data on your MFD.
If you have GREEN-GREEN indication, but no engine data on MFD, check that your MFD supports engine data (NMEA2000 PGNs 127488 and 127489). Add engine gauges to your MFD dashboard (if you don`t have it yet), and choose data sources manually.
In rare cases, the motor may have a non-standard address on the bus, in which case it must be specified in the gateway configuration file.
Check that you have actual firmware version on your YDEG-04, and update it if needed.

Hi,
The leds are RED-GREEN. The interface is visible on my NMEA2000 network, and is is recognized automatically on my MFD (Garmin 922xs Plus), but there is no data from the engine.
How can i check the firmware version on my YDEG-04 and how can I update it? Is there a way I can find the motor non-standard address on the bus, in which case it must be specified in the gateway configuration file?
Thanks

If you have RED-GREEN indication (when both engine and NMEA2000 are on), you have issue with engine connection, Please try to connect YDEG into another port of Multilink hub. While you have at least one red blink, configuration file editing is useless.

I don't have another Multilink port. Tomorrow i can test with another boat, same engine, same MFD. I'll let you know the outcome. Thanks

Dear Padure! Are you sure that you have EVC-D system? Please tell exact engine model/year/specification number. If you have EVC-B system, you can have other issue. CAN buses on EVC-B can be swapped, so you will need to rearrange pins on YDEG-04 connectors.

I have 2017 model Volvo d2-75 engine. Is this gateway support my engine?
Andrew C. antwoordde
op 25 nov. 2021
Dear Tolga! Our engine gateway YDEG-04 supports only D2-75B/C/F versions with MDI box. If you have it, YDEG-04 can be connected to the "Multilink" connector on the engine's MDI (Mechanical Diesel Interface) box, or in series with the Volvo tachometer.

I would like to know if this item can be used to connect Yanmar 54hp 2007 by Seatalk to Chartplotter?
Andrew C. antwoordde
op 25 nov. 2021
Dear Tiago! YDES-04 is designed for engines with J1708 interface. I am not aware of Yanmar engines supporting this protocol. Our other product, engine gateway YDEG-04 supports Yanmar engines 3JH40, 4JH45, 4JH57, 4JH80, 4JH110. I suspect that you have 4JH5E. This engine does not have any digital inteface and not compatible with our devices.
