Simple Integration, Powerful Performance
The ultra-compact ECI-100 connects directly to the industry-standard NMEA2000 or SAE* J1939 Engine Data Bus used by major marine engine manufacturers including:

• Volvo Penta
• Yamaha Marine (Command Link Plus only)
• Caterpillar
• Yanmar Marine

Raymarine is committed to delivering seamless integration with leading marine engines. Visit www.raymarine.com for the latest engine compatibility information.

An industry standard DeviceNet port connects the ECI-100 to manufacturerspecific CAN bus cabling. The ECI-100 then connects to NMEA2000 networks using the SeaTalk^ng cabling system. Each of the ECI-100’s isolated ports is powered independently ensuring reliable, worry-free performance from both navigation electronics and engine systems.
