NMEA 2000® Standard

The National Marine Electronics Association has introduced the latest verion -1.20- NMEA 2000® interface standard.

The standard contains the requirements of a serial data communications network to inter-connect marine electronic equipment on vessels. It is multi-master and self configuring, and there is no central network controller. Equipment designed to this standard will have the ability to share data, including commands and status with other compatible equipment over a single channel.

NMEA 2000® represents the cumulative efforts of the BETA Testing Group, a committee of industry and government professionals who have contributed time and expertise to the development and completion of this product.

A complete discussion of NMEA 2000® Version 1.20 is included as well as the names and affiliations of the BETA Test Group.
