I have a combination of Raymarine items on my 400DB. Previously had an issue with my E140W not communicating with my RayPilot650. This turned out to be a disconnected cable. Connected the cable and everything worked fine.
The system has an E140W chartplotter and GPS via SeatalkNG and a Seatalk1 D244 bus also connected to the SeatalkNG E22158 converter. On the Seatalk1 D244 bus is the RayPilot650, Raydata and Ray240 VHF.
Had a strange occurrence happen while out on a cruise. I had programmed in a route to test the system. Everything was working fine. I put the system on "Standby" via the E140W, cruised through a nearby harbor, returned to open water, engaged the autopilot again, it started tracking and then lost communication with E140W chart plotter.
Everything on the Seatalk1 D244 bus was not communicating with the SeatalkNG E22158 for Nav data. The Seatalk1 bus was essentially dead. Checked and reseated all cables and tried restarting all the items unsuccessfully. I do not have an "Accessory" switch to power my electronics. So I finally, simply killed the 12v power at the battery main switch, restored power and the Seatalk1 bus came back to life.
Very strange as the SeatalkNG E22158 had power and the E140W and the GPS was functional and the Seatalk1 D244 would normally get data from it but was dead.
Any thoughts?
