IEC 61162-1:2007

Is a publicly available specification providing information on the necessary interface standards for use with the UAIS, which are not available in the current issue of IEC 61162-1 Ed 2. The interface standards are currently being adopted in the NMEA 0183 standard and alignment will be maintained.

Is a PAS (Publicly Available Specification) providing information on sentences necessary to interface shipborne alarm systems with the voyage data recorder (VDR). Is to be used in conjunction with IEC 61162-1 and IEC 61162-2. The VDR is required to acquire data on engine, cargo and deck monitoring status in addition to the navigation and radiocommunications.

Contains additional requirements for existing sentences and details additions to the existing format which have been found desirable in the light of field experience. Reference is made to IEC/PAS 61162-100 which covers the requirements of the universal shipborne Automatic Identification System (AIS).

Contains the requirements for data communication between maritime electronic instruments, navigation and radiocommunication equipment when interconnected via an appropriate system. Is intended to support one-way serial data transmission from a single talker to one or more listeners. Is closely aligned with NMEA 0183 version 2.30. Reference is made to IEC 61162-2 for applications with higher transmission rates.

IEC 61162-1:2010 contains the requirements for data communication between maritime electronic instruments, navigation and radiocommunication equipment when interconnected via an appropriate system. Is intended to support one-way serial data transmission from a single talker to one or more listeners. This data is in printable ASCII form and may include information such as position, speed, depth, frequency allocation, etc. Typical messages may be from about 11 to a maximum of 79 characters in length and generally require transmission no more rapidly than one message per second. For applications where a faster transmission rate is necessary, reference should be made to IEC 61162-2. The main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below: - certain sentences have been removed as they are not used by other standards prepared by technical committee 80; - new sentences have been added; corrections have been made to certain sentences (ABK, BBM, DOR, FIR, SSD, TUT, and VTG); - new fields have been added to certain sentences; - three additional tests have been added to Annex B. The contents of the corrigendum of December 2013 have been included in this copy.
