(June 20 2008) The US National Marine Electronic Association’s NMEA 2000 Standard for Serial Data Networking of Marine Electronic Devices has been approved by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
The IEC prepares and publishes international standards for electrical, electronic and related technologies across a number of industries, including maritime, and has approved the NMEA 2000 Standard as a means of connecting marine navigation and radio communications equipment aboard all classes of vessels.
The IEC now lists the NMEA standard on its website under the designation ‘IEC 61162-3’, which can be found at www.iec.ch/online_news/justpub/jp_2008/jp.htm#61162-3.
NMEA 2000 is a moderate capacity, bi-directional multi-transmitter/multi receiver instrument network standard, that operates controller area network (CAN) technology over connectors and cables that are compatible with industrial bus systems.
