Description
The I-Command™ Digital Integrated Performance System uses “plug and play” networking technology based
on NMEA 2000†data communications standards (National Marine Electronics Association). These standards
provide communications through a serial data network utilizing a Controller Area Network (CAN) integrated
circuit (IC). This network operates at 250 kb/second and allows multiple electronic devices to be connected
together on a common channel for easy information sharing. Multiple digital displays can be used to monitor
and broadcast equipment and engine data.
