Simrad NSE12 - Czone Connection to Simnet

32 | Wiring the NSE
CZone Connection to SimNet
When interfacing to CZONE network it is recommended to use a BEP Network interface
bridge to join the two network backbones together.
The CZONE / NMEA2000 Network interface bridge isolates the power of the two
networks, but allows data to be freely shared between both sides.
The Network Interface has built in terminators so needs to be placed at the extremity of
each network backbone.
The Interface Bridge can also be used for expansion of the SimNet network, when the
maximum node limit (node = any device connected to the SimNet network) for the
network has been reached or the maximum cable length of 150m will be exceeded. Once
an Interface Bridge has been fitted, a further 40 nodes and additional cable length can
be added.
The Network Interface is available from your BEP dealer. For more information please
refer to the BEP web site www.bepmarine.com.

Below is an example of a SimNet network bridged to a CZone network. In this
example, power is injected twice but connecting the two networks together via the
BEP Network interface bridge provides power isolation and correct termination.
