IEC 61162-2
and is closely aligned to NMEA 0183 version 2.30, March 1st, 1998.
For further information, consult the original documents.
The selection of transmitted sentences is configurable; for further details, see the "System Maintenance"
menu under "Configuration".
The transmission frequency of every output sentence can be selected from 4 different values via the
'"Service" menu:
- 1 second
- 5 second
- 10 second
- 30 second
Note:
In the following specification, for every telegram there is a reference to the underlying IEC
version.
This interface specification is valid for RADARPILOT ATLAS 1000 systems with software version 2.6 and
higher (newer) versions.
NOTE
This manual is not valid for RADARPILOT/CHARTRADAR/
MULTIPILOT ATLAS 1000 that are integrated in NACOS
xx-2 or NACOS xx-3 systems. In this case refer to the
Service Manual "NMEA 0183 Interface", ED3031G072.
Type : RS422
(with optional Interface Expander GE 3044 G 209 also available:
- NMEA (TTL)
- RS232
- 20 mA current loop
Baud rate : 4800 for IEC 61162-1; 38400 for IEC 61162-2 input data
Data bits : 8 (d7 = 0)
Parity : None
Stop bits : 1
The checksum *hh is calculated by XOR-ing the 8 data bits of all characters (no start and stop bit) in the
sentence, between but excluding "$" and "*".
The hexadecimal value of the result is displayed as two ASCII characters (0...9, A...F) starting with the
most significant byte.

Notes:
The datum sentence should be transmitted immediately prior to every positional sentence (e.g., GLL,
BWC, WPL) which is referenced to a datum other than WGS84, which is the datum recommended
by IMO.
For all datums the DTM sentence should be transmitted prior to any datum change and periodically
at intervals of not greater than 30 seconds.
In this application only WGS84=W84 position data are accepted as valid data.
The position data output (Section 1.5.3, G L L - G e o g r a p h i c P o s i t i o n , L a t i t u d e / L o n g i t u d e ) is sent with
datum reference to WGS84 in all cases.

values for "Transverse speed" and "Longitudinal speed" are computed with the aid of the gyro
heading.
3. The speed data are referenced to the system position defined for the vessel during system configu-
ration.
4. The following matrix provides an overview of the data contents of the VBW telegram depending on
the selected speed sensor:
Computed longitudinal speed1 is computed from VL, manual drift, manual set, gyro heading

computed with the aid of the heading value.
2. If the selected speed sensor provides WT ("Water Track") values only, the data fields "Course Over

sentence length. As there is no specified number of waypoints, null fields are not required for
waypoint identifier fields.
