INTRODUCTION
The VMH 70 is a ultifunctional display designed to onitor your boat engines and navigation.
Up to four engines can be onitored with a single display.
The integrated NMEA 2000 gateway lets you acquire engine data also via analog sensors or SAE J1939, to
then convert and distribute the on the NMEA 2000 network.
The display anages up to six resistive sensors, three voltage sensors and one digital alar .
All data are also distributed on two EasyLink channels to a axi u of 16 VMH 14 gauges per channel.
NMEA 2000 connectivity lets you view navigation data fro other devices on the network, such as
wind, co pass, GPS, speed, and depth data.
ARCHITECTURE
Following is an exa ple of an application with a VMH 70 display, used as a gateway and as a NMEA 2000
onitor.
