Simrad EQ60
136
857-164342 / Rev.C
The EQ60 can also output the EA 500/EK500 compatible depth
telegrams; D1, D2 etc. Output for Atlas echo sounders are also
provided.
Only one telegram type at a time can be generated, and the same
serial line parameters as for the main sensor must be used.
Trawl system
Communication with the Simrad ITI (Integrated Trawl
Instrumentation) is based on NMEA telegrams.
Connect the ITI to a free RS-232 port. Only the receive signal
wire (Rx, pin 2), the transmit signal wire (Tx, pin 3) and the
ground wire (pin 5) need to be connected.
Maximum cable length is approximately 50 meters.
The connection must be established in the software as well.
Observe the following procedure:
1 Open the Trawl Interface dialogue box.
2 Enter the name of the selected port.
3 Enter the following communication parameters: 4800 bits
per second, 8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit.
Post-processing data
The EQ60 can communicate with an external post-processing
chart plotter system using the ethernet interface. This
communication is controlled by the BI500 dialogue box.
The following telegrams may be used:
• Parameter
• Echogram
• Echo Trace
• Navigation
• Vessel Log
The interface will require the absolute identity of the remote
UDP port and the remote IP address.
Heave sensor
A heave sensor with an analogue output is connected directly to
the Auxiliary connector.
The positive heave input signal (pin 3) is connected to the
sensor output terminal. The negative heave input signal (pin 16)
is grounded at the sensor in order to prevent ground potential
offsets between the sensor and the transceiver from adding to
the sensed signal.
