최근 선박 전자 장비들이 디지털 인터페이스 표준을 위해 NMEA(National Marine Electronics Association)에서는 CAN Part B 표준 버스 프로토콜 기반의 네트워크 표준인 NMEA2000 표준을 개정하였다. NMEA2000는 네트워크상에서 PnP 기능을 가지는 멀티토커, 멀티리스너로서 네트워크 관리를 위한 서버가 필요 없는 멀티마스터의 실시간 제어 네트워크이다. 본 연구에서는 NMEA2000 기반의 선박 센서용 프로토콜 변환 알고리즘의 구현과 NMEA2000/CAN/Ethernet/RS422, RS485, RS232 포맷 변환 및 NMEA2000 기반 전용 케이블을 고려한 아날로그 데이터 모듈 외형 설계 및 개발을 목표로 한다. 본 연구를 통해 NMEA2000 핵심 기술의 개발과 적용을 통해 새로운 조선 IT 시장을 선점할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

As the number of sensors in a ship has increased, studies have been actively conducted to efficiently manage a large amount of data. Sensors in a ship follow the NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) data format. In particular, NMEA0183 standardized as IEC 61162-1 and NMEA2000 standardized as IEC 61162-3 are widely used. NMEA0183 is a protocol based on serial communication and NMEA2000 is a protocol based on CAN (Controller Area Network) communication. We implemented a gateway that receives data from NMEA0183 sensors and NMEA2000 sensors and then transmits them to the server on TCP/IP network. By using the NMEA2000 0183/2000 gateway to receive the sensor data and manage it through the ship's preventive maintenance system, the sensor data can be utilized efficiently and promptly. This management can reduce crew's daily tasks and reduce the number of accidents.

Recently NMEA 2000 protocol is familiarized as a standard real time instrument network of SOLAS ship. This paper is studied to develop NMEA 2000 based two-dimensional ultrasonic anemometer which is core device for navigation as a sensor of wind speed and direction using ultrasonic including temperature and barometer. Developed system is connected to NMEA 2000 network which is composed of various kinds of merchandised NMEA 2000 device such as depth gauge, speed gauge, GPS device etc. to test connectivity with other NMEA 2000 device and functional test are carried out as weather station in comparison with other merchandised weather station which are developed advanced foreign company to ascertain usability as a weather station on board.

NMEA2000 international standards was developed for real-time communication among sensors and devices in ships. This paper describes analysis of NMEA2000 network protocols and implementation of a gateway for wireless data services in NMEA2000 networks. For scalability of the network, developed gateway didn't participate in NMEA2000 network but simply relayed data between wireless devices and the network.

This paper is the study of NMEA-0183 based BNWAS. The BNWAS is being used currently in the ship had difficulty in monitoring. NMEA-0183 based BNWAS equipment will work with existing equipment. The monitoring of attendant risks and the effective emergency response can be. All subsequent nmea-based equipment integration can be developed into a system that can manage.

The functionality of BNWAS and its operations are investigated through its international standard. But the BNWAS is being used currently in the ship had difficulty in monitoring. Several kinds of data are generated from many equipments in BNWAS, such as NMEA-0183 data or NMEA-2000. In this paper, we have proposed a method of the multimedia data transmission using a communication protocol based on slower NMEA-0183, which is mainly used in BNWAS. Data compression techniques are needed for smooth streaming services of the multimedia data in the low data rate over the NMEA-0183 interface. Although these data are mainly used for the instruments of ship, their efficient transmission may be needed if they are managed to control the BNWAS equipment with sensors.

Recently, due to the variety and complexity of marine electronics communication devices, much research has been done to adopt the novel communication protocol. Among them, NMEA2000 protocol, is adopted as standardized protocol to the next generation ship. In this paper, we design and implement the conversion algorithm for sensor protocol based on NMEA2000, and analog data module which convert data format between NMEA2000, CAN, Ethernet, RS232. The present study was designed to implement user-based data monitoring system by supporting various communication protocols through the development and application of key technologies through NMEA2000.

The National Marine Electronics Association(NMEA) is nonprofit-making cooperation composed with manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and educational institutions. We use the basic port of equipment in order to process the signal from NMEA signal using equipment. When we don't have enough one, we use the multi-port for processing. However, we need to have module development simulation which could multiplex and provide NMEA related signal that we could solve the problems in multi-port application and exclusive equipment generation for a number of signal. For now, we don't have any case or product using NMEA multiplexer so that we import expensive foreign equipment or embody NMEA signal transmission program like software, using multi-port. These have problems since we have to pay lots ci money and build separate processing part for every application programs. Besides, every equipment generating NMEA signal are from different manufactures and have different platform so that it could cause double waste and loss of recourse. For making up for it, I suggest the NMEA multiplexer embodiment, which could independently move by reliable process and high performance single hardware module, improve the memory efficiency of module by designing the optimized Queue, and keep having reliability for realtime communication among the equipment such as main input sensor equipment Gyrocompass, Echo-sound, and GPS.

Appropriate networks are required for the processing of various kinds of data generated on shipboard. The international standards, NMEA 2000 and IEC 61161-4, meet this requirement. NMEA 2000 is good for the processing of real time data, and IEC 61162-4 is better for the integrated management of such data. Therefore, NMEA 2000 data should be conversed into IEC 61162-4 format for the integrated management. This paper presents files and algorithm for the format conversion, and also describes their implementation.

In this paper, the pseudorange-based GPS performance using the Android's raw measurements is compared with NMEA. In order to compare the performance between the two different implementations, we used Nexus 9 tablets and collected the raw measurements and NMEA data using the GNSS logger application provided by Google. To verify the performance of the final coordinates calculated, the VRS was used as the reference coordinate and compared with the NMEA results. The resulting horizontal, vertical, and 3D RMS errors of the pseudorange-based GPS using the Android's raw measurements are 3.05, 3.82, and 4.97 m, respectively, which correspond to 32% horizontal, 65% vertical and 49% 3D performance improvement compared with NMEA.
