   NMEA Simulator (Incl. Demo for download)

Simulating NMEA sensors, either separately or as an integrated ship. All NMEA telegrams can be transmitted on serial port , UDP or TCP/IP.

 The following sensors and telegrams are included 

  1. Positioning sensor 1    (GGA/GNS/GLL/RMC/VTG/GSA/GSV/GST/DTM/ZDA)
  2. Positioning sensor 2    same
  3. Gyro/VRU 1              (THS/HDT/ROT/PRATT/PRDID)
  4. Gyro/VRU 2              same
  5. Speedlog                    (VHW/VBW/VDR)
  6. Echosounder              (DBT/DPT)
  7. Wind sensor               (MWV)
  8. ARPA radar               (TTM/TTD/TLB)

A low price LITE version includes

  1. Positioning sensor 1    (GGA/GLL/RMC/VTG)
  2. Positioning sensor 2    not included
  3. Gyro/VRU 1              (HDT/ROT)
  4. Gyro/VRU 2              not included
  5. Speedlog                    (VHW/VBW/VDR)
  6. Echosounder              (DBT/DPT)
  7. Wind sensor               (MWV)
  8. ARPA radar               not included

NEW!       v 4.00 - Implemented IEC 61162-450

                  v 3.00 - Implemented UDP Interface

                  v 2.00 - Implemented IEC 62388 Ed.2 test scenarios.

Future plans - Implementing NMEA2000 / N2K. But first I need documentation from the NMEA Organisation. That can be purchased for the neat sum of  $ 3.500,- for non-members! It's acceptable that the NMEA Organisation doesn't give it away for free, but with that stiff price level, the 'open' NMEA2000 standard is not open in reality for hobbyists/small companies.

However, until NMEA2000 has been implemented, NMEA2000 can be indirectly simulated with use of for example NGW-1 gateway from Actisense. The NGW-1 will convert simulated NMEA0183 to NMEA2000 PGN's and feed into a NMEA2000 network. See Actisense NGW-1
