Navigations- und Funkkommunikationsgeräte und -systeme für die Seeschifffahrt - Digitale Schnittstellen - Teil 1: Ein Datensender und mehrere Datenempfänger (IEC 61162-1:2016); Englische Fassung EN 61162-1:2016
Overview
This part of IEC 61162 contains the requirements for data communication between maritime electronic instruments, navigation and radiocommunication equipment when interconnected via an appropriate system. This part of IEC 61162 is intended to support one-way serial data transmission from a single talker to one or more listeners. These data are in printable ASCII form and may include information such as position, speed, depth, frequency allocation, etc. Typical messages may be from about 11 to a maximum of 79 characters in length and generally require transmission no more rapidly than one message per second. The electrical definitions in this standard are not intended to accommodate high-bandwidth applications such as radar or video imagery, or intensive database or file transfer applications. Since there is no provision for guaranteed delivery of messages and only limited error checking capability, this standard should be used with caution in all safety applications. For applications where a faster transmission rate is necessary, reference should be made to IEC 61162-2. The responsible committee is K 738 "Elektronische Navigationsinstrumente" ("Electronic navigation instruments") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
