Yacht Devices YDEG-04 BRP Rotax CAN BUS Adaptor Cable

The YDEG-04 series Engine Gateway now supports BRP CAN protocol in addition to Volvo Penta EVC and J1939 protocols. This protocol is used in the popular BRP Rotax gasoline engines.

 Supports up to two BRP engines on a network (for J1939 and Volvo Penta EVC, eight engines are supported). You'll get the following engine data on NMEA 2000 instruments:

• engine speed;
• engine hours;
• engine temperature;
• boost pressure;
• keyswitch battery voltage;
• fuel rate;
• fuel tank level;

engine warnings (transmitted in J1939 messages with PGN 65226).

BRP protocol uses a different bus speed (500 kbps as opposed to 250 kbps for J1939), and to activate BRP CAN protocol support, you should add the following lines to the configuration file:

BRP_ROTAX=ON

ENGINE_CAN_SPEED=500

Engine data are available via the diagnostics connector of BRP CAN, which can be found near the fuse box. See this video with a description of Device installation on a Scarab 215HO Jet Boat with two Rotax 1503 4-tec Engines.
