E5024 System overview
The E5000 Processor features two fast quad core CPUs, and dual monitor outputs to drive two
displays with independent information.
Each quad core CPU operates independently, one running ECDIS software, the other running
Navico’s NSO evo2 multifunction display software.
Connectivity options for data are broad, with an internal ethernet switch with three ports,
NMEA 0183 transmit and receive ports, and a connection point for a NMEA 2000 compliant
data bus.
Synchronizing the ECDIS CPU with a backup ECDIS device constitutes a PLECDIS system
(PaperLess ECDIS). Integration is possible with Navico ARGUS radar.
The Simrad M5024 monitor offers a low profile, high brightness solution for displaying
video from a variety of sources. M5024 monitors are color calibrated according to ECDIS
requirements. For installation and setup refer to the M5000 Series User Manual.
Separate documents are delivered for the NSO evo2. Refer to this documentation for
installation, configuration and operation of the NSO evo2 system. The manuals can be

Hardware installation | E5024 ECDIS Installation Manual
Hardware installation
Mounting location
Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut. Be sure to leave a direct path
for all of the cables.
Ensure that any holes cut are in a safe position and will not weaken the boat’s structure. If in
doubt, consult a qualified boat builder.
Before cutting a hole in a panel, make sure that there are no hidden electrical wires or other
parts behind the panel.
Do not mount any part where it can be used as a hand hold, where it might be submerged, or
where it will interfere with the operation, launching or retrieving of the boat.
Choose an area where the unit will not be subjected to excessive vibration, or heat.
Choose a location that will not expose the unit to conditions that exceed the IP rating.
Leave sufficient clearance to connect all relevant cables.
For compass safe distance check the back of the units.
For overall width and height requirements, see “E5000 Dimensional drawings” on page 39.
!
Warning: When installing, ensure appropriate safety equipment is used, e.g. ear muffs,
protective glasses, gloves and a dust mask.
Power tools may exceed safe noise levels, and can cast off dangerous projectiles.
The dust from many materials commonly used in boat construction may cause irritation or
damage to eyes, skin, and lungs.
E5000 processor installation
Hold the processor up to the desired location on the mounting surface, and with a pencil or
marker, trace the ‘keyhole’ at each of the four mounting tabs. Remove the processor and mark
the center of the narrow end (top) of each ‘keyhole.’
The supplied fasteners can be used when installing the processor to a wooden or fiberglass
bulkhead. For steel or aluminium it may be preferable to use machine screws with lock nuts.
For supplied fasteners, pre-drill the holes at the marked points with no larger than a 2.7
mm drill bit. When drilling into fibreglass covered in gelcoat, it is recommended to carefully
remove the gelcoat layer with a small countersink bit after the hole has been drilled. This will
prevent the gelcoat from cracking as the fastener is tightened.

M570 trackball
The M570 is a desktop trackball and can be fixed in place using self-adhesive velcro. Double
sided mounting tape is not recommended as it would impede battery replacement. The
M570 receiver must be plugged into one of the two USB ports on the E5000 processor.
¼ Note: To fulfill the ECDIS regulations, the trackball must be mounted in an illuminated loca-
tion!
M5024 series monitor installation
M50xx series monitors include installation instructions and mounting templates that should
be carefully read before commencing with installation.
The recommended means to connect the power supply and remote power signal to the
E5024 is as follows:
1. The remote power signal is required to be used for a compliant ECDIS system. It is
recommended that the remote power signal wire be connected to the main bridge or
conning station power circuit. This allows the ECDIS to be powered-up or down using the
main power signal circuit on the boat
2. It is further advised that the ECDIS system be powered from a power supply independent
from the remote power signal sharing a common ground
¼ Note: Nominal viewing distance is 1m. Do not install monitors in a location where this dis-
tance from the operator is exceeded.
E0102 Alarm panel and SI80
Refer to the separate documentation delivered with the units.
LTSX50 trackball (Option)
The optional LTSX50 is a panel mounted, waterproof (IP 68) trackball with scroll wheel.
The LTSX50 must be plugged into one of the two USB ports on the E5000 processor. For
dimensions see “LTSX50N8 trackball dimensional drawings” on page 39.

Wiring
For easier access to connectors, undo the two phillips screws visible on the bottom front of
the E5000 case, and remove the lower shroud.
Guidelines
Do not do this: Do this:
Do not make sharp bends in the cables Do make drip and service loops
Do not run cables in a way that allows water
to flow down into the connectors
Do cable tie all cables to keep them secure
Do not route the data cables in areas
adjacent to radar, transmitter, or large current
carrying cables
Do solder/crimp and insulate all wiring
connections, if extending or shortening
power or NMEA 0183 cables
Do leave room adjacent to connectors to
ease plugging and unplugging of cables
!
Warning: Before starting the installation, be sure to turn electrical power off. If power is
left on or turned on during the installation, fire, electrical shock, or other serious injury may
occur.
!
Warning: Ensure that the voltage of the power supply is compatible with the E5000
Processor.
!
Warning: The positive supply wire (red) should always be connected to (+) DC with
the supplied fuse or a circuit breaker (closest available to fuse rating).
Power connection
The E5000 processor can be powered by either 12
V or 24 V DC. They are protected against reverse
polarity, under voltage and over voltage (for a
limited duration).
The supplied power cable has four cores:
• Red and Black: power into the system
• Yellow wire: external command
• Blue wire: connecting to an external alarm
Connect Red to (+) DC using a 3 amp fuse.
Connect Black to (-) DC. The processor can be
powered on and off using the power button on
the front of the case.
¼ Note: ECDIS requirements demand the system to automatically restart after a power-loss. For
ECDIS compliance, yellow wire must be connected to a switch / circuit breaker in such a way
that it is running at 12/24V during normal operation.

Connecting monitors
Two displays may be connected to the E5000 via the HDMI ports.
The ECDIS CPU (HDMI 1 OUT) must be connected to a Simrad M5024 to conform to IMO
requirements.
The NSO evo2 CPU (HDMI 2 OUT) can connect to a wide range of supported monitors; the
Simrad DI-15, MO-L 15/17/19, MO16/19/24 (T&P), legacy MO-19, B&G ZM series, and KEPMGB15T.
It is possible to use third party monitors on the NSO evo2 CPU, however, these should
conform to the supported resolution and refresh rates defined in “E5000 Processor
specications” on page 38.
¼ Note: LCD monitors intended for home/office use are not designed to operate in areas
exposed to direct sunlight, and will appear dark and difficult to read. Also, unless carefully
ventilated and protected from moisture, their service life will be greatly compromised in the
marine environment.
Monitors with a HDMI input may be directly connected to the HDMI 2 output.

The CAN bus
Device connection
The E5000 processors are equipped with a NMEA 2000 compatible data port, which allows
the receiving and sharing of data from various sources.
Essential network information
• The standardized physical cables/connectors for the NMEA 2000 are ‘Micro-C’ and ‘Mini-C’,
directly derived from the automation industries ‘DeviceNET’ - ‘Micro-C’ being the more
commonly used size
• While most Simrad products now use ‘Micro-C’ cabling and connectors, some products still
use proprietary ‘SimNet’ connectors, which are easily made compatible via adaptor cables
• A network consists of a linear ‘backbone’ from which ‘drop cables’ connect to the CAN bus
compliant devices
• A single drop cable has a maximum length of 6 m (19.7 ft). The total length of all drop cables
combined should not exceed 78m (256 ft)
• A NMEA 2000 network using Micro-C cabling, has a maximum cable length of 100 m (328 ft),
between any two points
• A NMEA 2000 network needs to have a terminator at each end of the backbone. A terminator
can be a terminator blank plug
Planning and installing a network backbone
The Micro-C backbone needs to run between the locations of all products to be installed typically in a bow to stern layout - and be no further than 6 m from a device to be connected.
Choose from the following components to make up the backbone:
• Micro-C cables: 0.4 m (1.3 ft), 2 m (6.6 ft), 5 m (16.6 ft), and 9 m (29.5 ft) cables
• T-connector. Used to connect a drop cable to the backbone
• Micro-C power cable. Connected to backbone via a T-connector
¼ Note: Most NMEA 2000 devices can be connected directly to a Simrad SimNet backbone and
SimNet devices can be connected to a NMEA 2000 network by using adapter cables.
Page 15
| 13
Wiring | E5024 ECDIS Installation Manual
¼ Note: Simrad devices with Micro-C NMEA 2000 connectors are fully compatible with a SimNet
network by using a Micro-C to SimNet adapter cable.
Power the CAN bus
The network requires its own 12 V DC power supply protected by a 5 amp fuse or breaker. For
vessels fitted with 24 V systems, use a DC-DC converter to supply 12 V.
Connect power at any location in the backbone for smaller systems.
For larger systems introduce power at central point in the backbone to “balance” the voltage
drop of the network.
If an SI80 unit is included in the system, this unit should be used for powering the CAN bus
backbone.
¼ Note: Do not connect the CAN bus power cable to the same terminals as the engine start
batteries, autopilot computer, radar, bow thruster or other high current devices.
When you have a larger system with network power in the center of the backbone you
should make the installation such that the load / current draw from the devices in each side /
branch is equal.

NMEA 0183 device connection
The E5000 processor has four NMEA 0183 ports; three for the ECDIS CPU, and one for the NSO
evo2 CPU. Each port supports bi-directional NMEA 0183 traffic. The NMEA 0183 port for the
NSO evo2 CPU may be configured for either NMEA 0183 or touch screen control. Both the
baud rate and sentences output by both CPUs are configurable.

¼ Note: NMEA 0183 devices communicate at 4800 baud, while NMEA 0183 - HS devices com-
municate at 38,400 baud. Set the serial port baud rate to the same rate as used by the connected equipment.
¼ Note: AIS is not internally bridged, so it must be connected to one NMEA 0183 port on each
CPU if required on both screens.

Additional NMEA 0183 inputs
If more than 3 NMEA 0183 ports or approved high speed NMEA 0183 outputs are required, an
SI80 can be connected to the NMEA 2000 network to provide additional ports.

Connection between the E5000 and SI80 should observe all network connection rules as
detailed in “The CAN bus” on page 12.
Refer to the SI80 installation guide for details on how NMEA 0183 connections are made.
¼ Note: The SI80 converts NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000, so source setup should be done as if the
data originates from an NMEA 2000 source.
¼ Note: Only data from selected sources will be available for use on ECDIS. For more informa-
tion refer to “Websocket interface connection” on page 23.
Talkers and Listeners
Do not connect multiple Talkers to any serial input (Rx) of the unit. The NMEA 0183 standard
is not intended for this type of connection, and data will be corrupted if multiple devices
transmit simultaneously. The output, however, may drive multiple Listeners. The number
of receivers is finite, and depends largely on the receiving hardware. Typically driving three
devices is possible.
Ethernet device connection
Ethernet is used to interconnect high bandwidth devices such as radar, sonar, and other
CPUs. The E5000 processor has three ethernet ports, which are interconnected via an internal
ethernet switch.
To achieve a PLECDIS system (PaperLess ECDIS), two E5000 processors must be connected
together via ethernet to allow synchronization. The connection can be made using a standard
ethernet patch cable with RJ45 plugs at each end.

Performance characteristics
Select Performance characteristics from the Vessel settings to enter vessel specific details.
The vessels dimensions are used to draw the ship’s outline on the chart approximately to
scale. The height, draft, and other performance characteristics constrain the user routes
created, and are related to grounding and safety checks.
¼ Note: The Common Reference Point is a common point selected on the ship (usually the con-
ning station), to which all sensors are referenced to.
The Common Reference Point must be set in relation to the measurements of your own ship.
Offset data must be entered correctly to compensate for the offset between the location of
your sensors.
Parameters
Select Parameters from the Vessel settings to enter vessel’s unique identification details.
¼ Note: The MMSI number is required to prevent own vessel’s AIS target appearing overlaid on
the vessel icon, and causing false alarms as a dangerous target.

Sensors
The sensors are the external data sources such as GPS, Log, heading sensor, and AIS.
They interface to the E5000 via NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000, and ethernet. Sensors that are
connected via NMEA 2000 are bridged internally to ethernet, so selection is made as if the
sensors were an ethernet source.
Adding a sensor
On an unconfigured system the sensors page will be blank. Select New to add an instance of
the sensor type you wish to setup.
Communication settings
Select the newly created sensor icon to edit the communication settings.
The image above shows a typical sensor page. The upper section of the page is similar for all
sensors. The Mnemonic NMEA sentences (eg GLL, VTG) shown are dependent on the Sensor
type selected.
The following describes the settings:
Priority – Priority of the sensor if several sensors of the same type are registered; if the sensor
with the highest priority is lost, sensor with the next highest priority is used instead.
Timeout – Time period between the loss of connection with the sensor and triggering the
“source lost” alarm.
Talker ID – ID of the sensor used to distinguish between sensors of the same type, or sensors
sending the same NMEA sentences. This allows the system to listen only to a specific talker. A
wildcard (*) can be used to listen to messages from all sources of the type selected.
Page 24
22 |
ECDIS Software setup | E5024 ECDIS Installation Manual
Description – Description of the sensor - for identification purposes only.
Relay sentences – Enables vessel sensor parameters information to be relayed through the
ethernet connection made in a PLECDIS system.
Line type – The following types of connection are available:
• Serial - use to access the Port name, Baudrate and Data / Parity / Stop settings.
Port name on the device is always /dev/ttysx (“x” can be 0, 1 or 2). Baudrate and Data /
Parity / Stop needs to match the settings of the transmitting device
• TCP Server - use to access the Port settings
• TCP Client - use to access the Host and Port settings. It it used to collect sensor data
from the websocket application or other sources. Only one specific host and port will
receive data from the websocket. Other configurations may be used to obtain sensor
data from an Ehternet sensor system, for instance another ECDIS or a radar. For more
information refer to “Websocket interface connection” on page 23
• UDP Receiver - use to set the Host and Port settings which need to match the
transmitting device. Use UDP Receiver to access ethernet sensors using the UDP
protocol
• UDP Sender - use to set the Host and Port settings. Use UDP Sender to transmit
data using the UDP protocol. The Host should be set to 0.0.0.0 and Port number can
be any number between 10002 and 65535
• Serial TCP - use to access the Host and Baudrate settings. This is used to access the
3rd serial port located in the second serial connector. Refer to the Serial 2 / 2B table
section in “NMEA 0183 device connection” on page 14
Host – IP address of the ethernet device.
Port – Number of the UDP / TCP port to listen to or transmit through.
Sensor location – Position of the sensor on board the own vessel relative to the common
reference point.
Mnemonic – NMEA 0183 sentences to listen to.
Checksum – Indicates that checksum of sentences should be checked: if the checksum of a
sentence is wrong, the sentence is ignored; if the option is off, all sentences are processed.
NMEA 2000 sensors
The sensors connected via NMEA 2000 are internally bridged to ethernet, and should use the
following settings:
Line type: TCP client
Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 2000
Deleting a sensor
To remove a sensor that is no longer required, open the sensor settings by choosing the
sensor icon. Select Delete at the bottom of the page.

standard RJ45 ethernet cable. After the connection is made you can share sensors, routes,
mariner objects, permits and maps from the system setup.
¼ Note: Setup of a PLECDIS system is described in the Synchronization section of this manual.
Synchronization
When operating the system with more than one ECDIS unit, it is possible to Synchronize data
between the systems. When clicking on Node Name an ECDIS name will be generated. This
name sholud be changed to match the name given to the other ECDIS that you have in your
network. It is also required that you input the correct IP address to the other ECDIS units that
you want to synchronize to.
If you check the Automatic backup the SENC geodatabases, Mariner objects, Routes,
Permits, and Conguration les are synchronized automatically.
¼ Note: Manual synchronization can be done by accessing the Menu, Too ls, and Backup ar-
rangement settings.
