BS EN 61162-1:2008 Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems — Digital interfaces — Part 1: Single talker and multiple listeners
This part of IEC 61162 contains the requirements for data communication between maritime
electronic instruments, navigation and radiocommunication equipment when interconnected via
an appropriate system.
This standard 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.
The electrical definitions in this standard are not intended to accommodate high-bandwidth
applications such as radar or video imagery, or intensive database or file transfer applications.
Since there is no provision for guaranteed delivery of messages and only limited error checking
capability, this standard should be used with caution in all safety applications.
For applications where a faster transmission rate is necessary, reference should be made to IEC 61162-2.
