I-COMMAND INFORMATION
Instancing
I-Command digital gauges with software version 2.1 or higher, support up to five
engines and eight fuel tanks.
A NMEA 2000 network can be configured to support many instances of duplicate
or similar devices on the same network. Additional devices must be added
through careful network configuration. Instance numbers are used to represent
similar devices on a common network.
When adding devices to the NMEA 2000 network:
• Unconfigured devices MUST be added one device at a time.
• Preconfigured device kits can be added to the network all at one time.
• In either case, if a device is associated with an engine the device instance
number MUST match the engine instance number.
Use Evinrude Diagnostics software to confirm engine instance, or transom posi-
tion.
