A question about:
NMEA2000 Engine Gateway YDEG-04N
Padure I.
on Jul 10, 2022
Device is not reading engine data (not sending anything to the NMEA2000 network). Engine is Volvo Penta D4-260 EVC-D. What can I do? Is there anything in the configuration file I need to adjust?

Dear Padure!
Please check YDEG-04 LED indication – it should blink green-green. If first blink is red, check engine connection (in your case YDEG should be connected to any free port of the Multilink hub), is second blink is red – check NMEA2000 connection. Check if you can observe YDEG-04 in NMEA2000 device list.
When both connections are OK, YDEG-04 should work plug-and-play with your engine, so you should be able to observe engine data on your MFD.
If you have GREEN-GREEN indication, but no engine data on MFD, check that your MFD supports engine data (NMEA2000 PGNs 127488 and 127489). Add engine gauges to your MFD dashboard (if you don`t have it yet), and choose data sources manually.
In rare cases, the motor may have a non-standard address on the bus, in which case it must be specified in the gateway configuration file.
Check that you have actual firmware version on your YDEG-04, and update it if needed.

Hi,
The leds are RED-GREEN. The interface is visible on my NMEA2000 network, and is is recognized automatically on my MFD (Garmin 922xs Plus), but there is no data from the engine.
How can i check the firmware version on my YDEG-04 and how can I update it? Is there a way I can find the motor non-standard address on the bus, in which case it must be specified in the gateway configuration file?
Thanks

If you have RED-GREEN indication (when both engine and NMEA2000 are on), you have issue with engine connection, Please try to connect YDEG into another port of Multilink hub. While you have at least one red blink, configuration file editing is useless.

I don't have another Multilink port. Tomorrow i can test with another boat, same engine, same MFD. I'll let you know the outcome. Thanks

Dear Padure! Are you sure that you have EVC-D system? Please tell exact engine model/year/specification number. If you have EVC-B system, you can have other issue. CAN buses on EVC-B can be swapped, so you will need to rearrange pins on YDEG-04 connectors.
