engines are numbered starting from the port side and proceeding towards the starboard side.

2:Rated Engine Speed – This field indicates the maximum rated rotational speed of the engine in units of ¼ RPM.

3:VIN – This field indicates the Vehicle Identification Number of the engine as a textual representation.

4:Software ID – This field indicates the version number or other identifying information for the software in the engine as a textual representation.

PGN 127493 – Transmission Parameters, Dynamic

The J2K100 uses this PGN to transmit rapidly changing transmission data.

Field 1: Transmission Instance – This field indicates the particular transmission for which this data applies. A single transmission will have an instance of 0. Transmissions in multi- transmission boats will be numbered starting at 0 at the bow of the boat incrementing to n going in towards the stern of the boat. For transmissions at the same distance from the bow are stern, the transmissions are numbered starting from the port side and proceeding towards the starboard side.

2:Transmission Gear – This field indicates the current gear the transmission is operating in.

3:Reserved – This field is reserved by NMEA; therefore, the J2K100 sets all bits to a logic 1.

4:Transmission Oil Pressure – This field indicates the oil pressure of the transmission in units of 100 Pa.

5:Transmission Oil Temperature – This field indicates the oil temperature of the transmission in units of 0.1°K.

6:Transmission Discrete Status – This field indicates warning conditions of the transmission with the following bit assignments (value of 1 indicates warning present):

Bit 0: Check Transmission

Bit 1: Over Temperature

Bit 2: Low Oil Pressure

Bit 3: Low Oil Level

Bit 4: Sail Drive

Bit 5-8: These bits are reserved and should be masked when read

7:Reserved – This field is reserved by NMEA; therefore, the J2K100 sets all bits to a logic 1.

PGN 65030 – Generator Average Basic AC Quantities

The J2K100 uses this PGN to transmit data concerning the electrical output from a genset.

Field 1: Generator Average Line-Line AC RMS Voltage – This field indicates the average line to line voltage measured at the generator output in units of 1 Volt.

2:Generator Average Line-Neutral AC RMS Voltage – This field indicates the average line to neutral voltage measured at the generator output in units of 1 Volt.
