The fuel flowmeter will measure the real fuel consumption.<br \/>\nEurosens Direct\/Delta CAN can be used for onboard fuel consumption data display. There is no need for any additional display, as we can connect the fuel flowmeter to an onboard vessel display (also known as a fishfinder, chartplotter or MFD \u2014 multifunctional display) using NMEA2000 interface.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10441\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10441\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10441 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/eurosenstelematics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/q1-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eurosenstelematics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/q1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/eurosenstelematics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/q1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eurosenstelematics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/q1-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/eurosenstelematics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/q1-1000x750.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/eurosenstelematics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/q1-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/eurosenstelematics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/q1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10441\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Multifunctional marine display with NMEA2000 support<\/p><\/div>\n<p>NMEA2000 is a standard CAN bus used for a display-sensor communication on ships and yachts. It is a special marine protocol allowing easy and safe connection of various devices in a plug-and-play format.<br \/>\nNMEA2000 protocol part is based on J1939 \u2018automotive\u2019 specification, but has certain additional messages crucial for marine application:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Latitude and longitude coordinates;<\/li>\n<li>The state of the navigation receiver;<\/li>\n<li>Control commands for the autopilot;<\/li>\n<li>Waypoints;<\/li>\n<li>Wind sensor messages;<\/li>\n<li>Engine telemetry;<\/li>\n<li>Findfisher echolocation data;<\/li>\n<li>Other specific data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Eurosens Direct\/Delta CAN supports NMEA2000 and sends two identifiers: PGN 127489 (a package containing instant fuel consumption) and PGN 127497 (a package with a cumulative fuel volume consumed by the engine).<br \/>\nUnlike J1939, NMEA2000 network products have to \u201cadvertise\u201d themselves, otherwise they will be invisible for the vessel on-board display.<br \/>\nPay attention, that one NMEA2000 display can show the data from multiple engines. That\u2019s why the fuel flowmeter settings should have not only the addresses in NMEA2000 network but also the engine number to which the addresses refer.<br \/>\nCheck the example below with the operation of NMEA2000 display connected to two Eurosens fuel flowmeters.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NMEA2000 Eurosens Delta CAN fuel consumption meter\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0r_s3ewPJB8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-446f570 xts-scheme-inherit xts-textalign-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"446f570\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>NMEA2000 standard also describes two connector types, easily distinguishable:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9924a71 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9924a71\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\"><\/div>\n<div data-id=\"9924a71\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10443 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/eurosenstelematics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/q2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"357\" height=\"128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eurosenstelematics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/q2.png 357w, https:\/\/eurosenstelematics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/q2-200x72.png 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 357px) 100vw, 357px\" \/><\/div>\n<div data-id=\"9924a71\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\"><\/div>\n<div data-id=\"9924a71\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0adf56b xts-scheme-inherit xts-textalign-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0adf56b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">NMEA2000 network structure includes the backbone bus and the devices connected to it via T-connectors.
