A gateway for engines with a J1708 serial interface to a NMEA 2000 marine digital network. With it, you can see engine revolutions, temperature, working hours, fuel rate and other information on the screen of a chart plotter and other display devices on an NMEA 2000 network.
This in summary, is exactly what the new Volvo low-emission TAMD 74P EDC is, a proven terrestrial diesel that's been re-engineered to suit a variety of marine applications. Volvo's new low-emission truck-origin diesel slots in neatly between Yanmar's 420 hp 6LY2-STE and the 660 hp Cat 3196 and 635 hp Cummins QSM11. 2: Volvo:70,71,72,73,74,75 Series: TAMD74L EDC: Cobalt 1: 2 - 01-Jun-04 Original Post: 30-May-04: I have a 2000 Formula 41 PC Express with the TAMD74L EDC Diesels.

The Gateway supports the two protocols that work over J1708: the standard J1587 used by many manufacturers, the proprietary Volvo Penta protocol used in engines with EDC I, for example KAD 44, KAD 300, TAMD 73..75; also compatible with EDC II (e.g. D12C-A MP) and the proprietary Cummins KCM-II protocol (e.g. KTA19 and KTA38 engines).
A J1708 interface is used for connection of gauges, electronic displays, diagnostics equipment and other vehicle modules. This interface was very popular until 2005-2007, when it began to be quickly replaced by the J1939 protocol that is based, the same as NMEA 2000, on a faster CAN network.
If your engine supports both (J1708 and J1939) protocols, it may be better to choose another of our products, the Engine Gateway YDEG-04 designed for J1939, Volvo Penta EVC, MEFI4B, EGC, EDC III and EDC IV engines. The only known exceptions are Volvo Penta marine engines equipped with EDC II (Volvo Penta D12C-A MP for example), where the CAN bus is used for synchronization of engines revolutions and has no other data.

Reasons to buy:
- duplicate or replace broken instruments;
- in combination with a wifi-enabled chart plotter, you'll be able to monitor your engine from any cabin;
- in combination with our Wi-Fi Gateway, you'll be able to monitor your engines from PC, tablet or smartphone using a web browser;
- log engine and fuel usage by crew or renters if a recording device like Voyage Recorder is outfitted;
- record your engine data to apply for service remotely.

The Device is equipped with a female connector compatible with Volvo Penta EDC diagnostics connectors used on EDC I and EDC II engines. For owners of other engines, use the disassembled male connector supplied with the Gateway to make an adaptor cable for your engine yourself (see Picture 1). Please, see more details in the Manual.

The Gateway provides all engine data supported in NMEA 2000 except tilt/trim for J1587 engines and the most important data for KAD engines (see the table above). Reporting of two fuel tanks and two batteries is also supported. Please see technical details and PID numbers in the Manual. The data you can get on the chart plotter depends on the engine controller firmware and the number of installed sensors.
The Gateway is equipped with a slot for a MicroSD card, which can be used to configure its settings (loading a text file with the settings), retrieve the current configuration, update the Device firmware and record the data from the J1708 and NMEA 2000 interfaces for configuration and diagnosis of the Device.
Features:
- first (and the only!) device on the market with support of proprietary Volvo Penta KAD/TAMD protocol;
- first (and the only!) device on the market with support of proprietary Cummins KCM-II protocol;
- user alert settings for high revolutions, boost pressure, coolant temperature, low oil pressure and low alternator voltage;
- low cost installation, no extra cables required in most cases;
- easy configuration with a simple text file on MicroSD card;
- high-voltage galvanic isolation between J1708 and NMEA 2000 interfaces;
- J1708 data recording for diagnostics and configuration;
- one engine and transmission, 2 batteries and 2 fuel tanks may be reported by one Device.

The Gateway is compatible with a virtually all equipment that support NMEA 2000. Raymarine SeaTalk NG, Simrad SimNet, and Furuno CAN networks are branded versions of NMEA 2000 and differ only by connector type. Garmin uses the NMEA 2000 Micro connector in its devices, which is compatible with the DeviceNet Micro connector.
The Gateway is supplied with a connector compatible with SeaTalk NG or a connector compatible with NMEA 2000 Micro Male (see the picture below). For other networks, an adapter cable may be required.

Hi Carver owners,Tamd 74 Edc Problems
I have a 2002 466MY with twin Volvo TAMD 74P-As - although the blocks say TAMD75P - can't work that one out since a serialisation search confirms they are 74P-As. Anyway, these have an EDC system installed.I had a mechanic fix a problem with the starboard forward not engaging. Dammit he showed me how he fixed this but I cannot recall exactly what he did. My problem now though is that the port forward thrust is taking 30 seconds or so before it engages.
Would anyone have a clue on how I can fix this? Port astern and the starboard ahead and astern thrusts have the normal one second delay before engaging the props.
Unfortunately where the vessel is now there are no VP certified mechanics. So any help or a point in the right direction would be well received.
