ZDIGSTN - Digital Yacht SeaTalk1 to NMEA Interface

SeaTalk1 to NMEA Interface

Digital Yacht's SeaTalk to NMEA (ISO) Converter is a small, but powerful interface that provides bi-directional conversion between a SeaTalk network and an NMEA 0183 network or device. Taking its power from the SeaTalk network, the ST-NMEA Converter features a full, multi-transistor SeaTalk 1 interface, an opto-isolated NMEA 0183 input and differential NMEA 0183 output that allows key navigational data to be reliably shared between the SeaTalk and NMEA0183 networks.

For developers and advanced users that want to access the raw SeaTalk data, the ST-NMEA converter can also be configured to work in a special “raw data" mode ($STALK) which is gaining support in some Open Source projects.

The ST-NMEA (ISO) Converter is ideal for connection to one of Digital Yacht's wireless NMEA servers, allowing SeaTalk owners to go wireless and aUSB Version of the ST-NMEA Converteris also available for direct connection to a PC, Mac or even a Raspberry Pie embedded Linux system.

Features:

• Converts SeaTalk1 to NMEA data
• Powerful bi-directional converter –also converts NMEA to SeaTalk for use with 3rdparty transducers and sensors
• Powered from the SeaTalk network –easy red, black and yellow wire colour coding
• Features reliable multi-stage transistor SeaTalk interface
• Opto-isolated NMEA0183 input and differential NMEA0183 output
• Converts all of the key navigational data
• USB version (for PC & MAC) also available
• USB variant can also be configured to operate in “Raw Data” mode ($STALK)

NMEA Version - Typical Connections:

• Connects direct to SeaTalk1 cabling using familiar red, black and yellow wiring
• Add the WLN10HS for wifiintegration to iPads and tablets
• Add the WLN20 (dual input NMEA to WiFi server) for AIS and SeaTalk to wifi systems

The Digital Yacht SeaTalk1 to NMEA Interface, part number ZDIGSTN, is a bi-directional converter designed to facilitate data exchange between SeaTalk1 and NMEA 0183 networks. This device addresses compatibility challenges by enabling the sharing of navigational data between systems that utilize these distinct communication protocols. It is suitable for IT professionals and integrators managing marine electronics, particularly in environments where legacy SeaTalk1 devices need to interface with modern NMEA 0183 equipment or wireless NMEA servers.

Powered directly from the SeaTalk network, the interface features a multi-transistor SeaTalk1 interface, an opto-isolated NMEA 0183 input, and a differential NMEA 0183 output. This configuration ensures reliable data transmission for key navigational information. Additionally, it supports a "raw data" mode ($STALK) for developers and advanced users requiring direct access to SeaTalk data, which may be relevant for custom integrations or open-source projects. This converter simplifies the integration of diverse marine electronic systems.
