National Marine Electronics Association
The National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) is a US-based marine electronics trade organization setting standards of communication between marine electronics.[1]
Standards
[edit | edit source]NMEA 0183
[edit | edit source]NMEA 2000
[edit | edit source]NMEA 2000, abbreviated to NMEA2k or N2K and standardized as IEC 61162-3, is a plug-and-play communications standard used for connecting marine sensors and display units within ships and boats. The standard is maintaned by the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA). NMEA is often confused with the NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) though they are unrelated.
Communication runs at 250 kilobits-per-second and allows any sensor to talk to any display unit or other device compatible with NMEA 2000 protocols.NMEA OneNet
[edit | edit source]NMEA OneNet is the latest standard[5] for maritime data networking based on 802.3 Ethernet, and will complement existing onboard NMEA 2000 networks by allowing for high-capacity data transfers.[6][7][8][9]
Current maritime data networks have bandwidth capacities of less than 1 Mbit/s. Building on Ethernet, OneNet allows for capacity in the hundreds or thousands of megabits per second. This extra bandwidth is needed for transferring unprocessed sensor data from sonar/radars, as well as video feeds from for example an engine room.
The primary features and goals of OneNet are as follows:
- NMEA 2000 data transfer over IPv6 in a standard format
- High-bandwidth applications such as radar, video and more that are not possible via NMEA 2000
- Support Ethernet and TCP/IP at 1 gigabit and faster speeds
- Power devices via Power over Ethernet[10]
- Utilize standardized connectors (RJ-45 and X-Coded M12) depending on installation
- Robust, industry-standard cybersecurity requirements
- NMEA 2000 gateway compatibility
- Mandatory device & application certification by the manufacturer, then verified by NMEA
The use of the X-Coded M12 connector allows for up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet,[11] but the full capabilities do not have to be utilized, and would also depend on the cabling that is installed.
