DD 8v71TI Gurus- Know of an EGM Adapter?

[chuckbullett@gmail.com]

Chartmaker's Chuck and Lisa here.Besides updating my "Steam Gauges" for the DD's... I would like to find a sensor gateway to bring engine data up on the boat network. I am starting the helm redisgn and I want to reduce the number of unreliable mechanical gauges to make way for MFD's at the helm one day.Ideally the module would have inputs where I could bridge off the mechical gauge signals to collect the DD and Alison Transmission sensor inputs. Yachtd and some other companys make a number of gateway adapters to take conforming modern engine data and put it up on NEMA-0183, N2K, or WiFi networks... Buth these are 40 year-old engines... We have to collect the sensor data first from each engine room. Heck- I'd want to install one on the old Onan MDJx Generator too.This product probably exists in the industrial control industry sector somewhere...haven't discovered it through web searches yet.Thanks all. Lisa and I are working on rebedding the flybridge this weekend. Wish us luck.Cap't Chuck1978 53MY

Everything you need to know is in this thread on THT.... https://www.thehulltruth.com/marine-...-gauge-g2.html

Yep Analog to NEMA2000 is the way. I have a Noland MD33 that I have been playing with.
Previously I tried a Actisense EMU-1 with poor results. I haven't had enough time to work out the bugs with Noland yet and they were affected by the hurricane. I'll post back with my results and calibration info. Last I heard from them:

"Right now the MD33 is limited to 2-point (linear calibration). We are, however, updating the MD33 firmware which will include 3-point calibration along with other upgrades. We should have that upgrade available by end of October."

Thanks for that. More good info. I am hoping that the isolation issue doesn't affect me as much given that I have regulated 12v convertors. I will be paying close attention to that.

The chetco looks like the hot ticket item though for sure!

I was doing this research (you can find my thread I made here on HOF somewhere). I'm glad that guy posted his experience with NOLAND. I was debating between Noland and Chetco, and plan to talk to them if they are at FLIBS.

I'll be buying and installing a CHETCO this winter.

Krush-Many thanks for the Chetco link. No amount of google searches would have gotten me there.Regards-Chuck

Has anyone used the Chetco?

I am in the processing of finalizing my MD33 calibration and reached out to the author of the article recommending the Chetco. I also am finishing up the install of the Actisense on our NL ML844L generator which should be interesting.

I have an MD33 and gave up. Anyone want it for half price?

David,

I emailed Kevin last night with everything I have for sender curves etc. I just called Kevin to follow up. He is reviewing my senders and will send me calibration by tomorrow AM. I'll post the values and results. Maybe there is still a chance we can get these things working!
