NMEA 2000 Wi-Fi Gateway YDWG-02

The NMEA 2000 Wi-Fi Gateway allows you to see data from a NMEA 2000 marine digital network on a PC or smartphone. With it, you get marine network data including vessel course, speed, position, wind speed and direction, water depth, AIS messages from vessels and aircrafts and other navigation data in popular software applications.

The Device creates its own Wi-Fi network (with range of about 30 meters in open spaces) or it can be connected to an existing Wi-Fi network. In the second case, the coverage depends on coverage of the base network; laptops and PCs can be connected to Wi-Fi routers (and the Gateway) by Ethernet; and you can configure remote access to a Gateway over the Internet.

To configure the Gateway, you need any Wi-Fi enabled device (laptop or smartphone) with any web browser. The Device's settings can be reset to the factory values using the hidden reset button.

The Gateway supports TCP and UDP network protocols (both can be enabled at the same time). For UDP protocol, the number of clients (physical devices or software applications) is unlimited.

The Device has a bi-directional converter between NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 protocol. NMEA 0183 protocol is widely supported in marine applications dating back to last millennium. So the Device is compatible with virtually all marine mobile applications (except applications especially designed for use only with specific hardware) and with most popular PC applications.

Moreover, you do not need to install applications to view realtime vessel data. We added colorful, web-based gauges to built-in administrative web site, and now you can view wind, engines and fuel rate , pressure of oil, coolant and fuel , tanks and batteries (or using circular gauges ), course, speed, depth and other data right from a browser. And even control the autopilot!

You can customize any page's layout and its sets of data bars. You can even watch NMEA logs! Save on apps, save on additional instrument displays and monitor your boat from your sofa with a smartphone! No internet connection is required and it is free. See this guide to learn more about the built-in web gauges. Or see this video !

The Gateway automatically records your track with weather, depth and other data to the internal memory (up to 16256 points). These data can be saved from the internal web site to GPX (for Garmin MapSource, Google Earth or other cartographic applications) or CSV (spreadsheet) files.

The Gateway also supports RAW protocol, which is supported in a popular Expedition software and CAN Log Viewer . It allows transferring of any NMEA 2000 messages (including proprietary) to application and in reverse direction. You can record messages to a .CAN file and/or monitor in real time with free CAN Log Viewer software (Mac OS X, Windows, Linux). It can be useful for NMEA 2000 or J1939 networks setup and troubleshooting .

The recorded .CAN file can be converted to a .DAT format and processed with YDVR Converter software to convert NMEA 2000 data to GPX tracks, spreadsheets and other formats. Of course, it is not as convenient as recording data with the Voyage Recorder , but it is suitable for tests and trials, etc.

The RAW protocol is open and is supported also in our USB Gateway . We hope that it will become popular among software developers, because it is very simple and free.

The Gateway is designed for operation in an NMEA 2000 network and is compatible with a wide range of equipment supporting this protocol. Raymarine SeaTalk NG, Simrad SimNet, and Furuno CAN networks are branded versions of NMEA 2000 and differ only by connector type. Garmin uses the NMEA 2000 Micro connector in its devices, which is compatible with the DeviceNet Micro connector.

Gateway is supplied with different types of connectors (see the User Guide ), making it possible to connect it to networks of different manufacturers without any adapters.

The Wi-Fi antenna is located inside under the LED. For additional technical details, please see the User Guide and FAQ .

• Product Video

KEY FEATURES

Digital Yacht’s new WLN30 is a Smart Wireless NMEA to WiFi Multiplexer that takes iPad and tablet integration afloat even further. The ability to connect to existing on board GPS, AIS and instrument systems and transfer data wirelessly to an iPad or tablet allows compatible apps to display and compute with real time information. The WLN30 creates a secure, password protected wifi network on board to footprint the boat with data.

When connected to, for example, an AIS system , real time AIS target positions and identity data will be displayed on detailed electronic charting through compatible apps including NavLink , TimeZero, Navionics, AquaMap, iAIS , iSailor, Seapilot and hundreds more. The tablet therefore becomes a full function navigation display.

The new WLN30 has three NMEA0183 Inputs and one NMEA0183 Output. You can programme these through its simple browser interface to operate at 4800 or 38400 baud rates. Data received on the three inputs is multiplexed together. The WLN30 can then transmit to any wireless device connected to the WLN30’s wireless network. The same multiplexed data is also available on the NMEA 0183 Output or in an alternative mode the NMEA 0183 Output can be configured to forward data from the wireless application, for instance the next waypoint or autopilot data, to other NMEA 0183 equipment.

With its three NMEA0183 inputs, you can also utilise our  SeaTalk to NMEA adaptor.  As a result, SeaTalk instrument data to be interfaced directly to the WLN30 or our  iKonvert gateway  to connect NMEA 2000 data.

CONFIGURATION

You can configure the WLN30 through its own simple web interface, just open your web browser, enter the WLN30’s IP address and you can set baud rates, multiplexing mode, network name, password and and even merge the WiFi to an existing WiFi network on board.  So no complicated programming software or app required. You can even view the received NMEA data in the web browser, for easy fault finding of issues.

Finally, The WLN30 supports TCP and UDP network protocols for maximum compatibility with apps. If you want to have full bi-directional control of an autopilot, with guaranteed data integrity or you want to be the only person receiving the data, then select TCP. If however, you want to receive the same data on multiple devices, for instance a PC at the chart table and an iPad on deck, then select the UDP broadcast protocol.

WLN30 Smart Quick Start Guide V1_01_Eng

The WLN10 only have one NMEA 0183 interface (input & output). You must configure this interface at either 38,400 baud (AIS speed) or 4,800 baud (instruments & GPS speed). This is an ideal server if you want to broadcast data either from your AIS receiver/transponder or the data from your instrumentation.

The WLN30 have 3 x NMEA 0183 interface and you can select different NMEA speed for each NMEA 0183 interface. The WLN30 multiplexes all data and broadcasts it via WiFi to receive real-time data to an application or navigation software. This is an ideal server if you have several navigation devices on board (with different NMEA speeds) and you want to broadcast AIS, GPS and instrument data at the same time.

Our WLN10/WLN30 & NavLink2 have a built-in web interface and create a password protected WiFi network. With your tablet, PC or smartphone, if you scan for wireless networks, you should see a wireless network called “DY-WiFi-xxxx” where xxxx is a four-digit code unique to the product. The WiFi network might change according to your product version.

Make your device join this network and you will be asked to enter a password which is “PASS-xxxx” where xxxx is the same four-digit code as in your network name. You can change both the network name and password in the unit’s web interface.

For example, if your product creates the WiFi network: NavLink2-D4B6 then your password is PASS-D4B6

We keep on our blog a list which explains how to interface the WLN10/WLN30 & NavLink2 to popular navigation equipment such as Raymarine, Garmin, Furuno, etc.. This list explains which wires you need to use to interface the products together.
