Various instruments that meet the NMEA 2000 standard are connected to one central cable, known as a backbone. The backbone powers each instrument and relays data among all of the instruments on the network. This allows one display unit to show many different types of information. It also allows the instruments to work together, since they share data. NMEA 2000 is meant to be "plug and play" to allow devices made by different manufacturers to communicate with each other. </p><p>Examples of <a href="/wiki/Marine_electronics" title="Marine electronics">marine electronics</a> devices to include in a network are <a href="/wiki/GPS" class="mw-redirect" title="GPS">GPS</a> receivers, <a href="/wiki/Autopilots" class="mw-redirect" title="Autopilots">autopilots</a>, wind instruments, depth sounders, <a href="/wiki/Navigation" title="Navigation">navigation</a> instruments, <a href="/wiki/Engine" title="Engine">engine</a> instruments, and <a href="/wiki/Nautical_chart" title="Nautical chart">nautical chart</a> plotters.

The smaller of the two sizes is denoted as "Micro" (or alternatively, "Thin") cable using the M12 5-pin barrel connector specified in IEC 61076-2-101, and is rated to carry up to 3 amperes of power supply current. </p><p>Mini cable is primarily used as a "backbone" (or "trunk") for networks on larger vessels (typically with lengths of 20 m and above), with Micro cable used for connections between the network backbone and the individual components. Networks on smaller vessels often are constructed entirely of Micro cable and connectors. </p><p>An NMEA 2000 network is not electrically compatible with an NMEA 0183 network, and so an interface device is required to send messages between devices on the different types of network. An adapter is also required if NMEA 2000 messages are to be received by or transmitted from a PC. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:N2K-CABLING.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1f/N2K-CABLING.jpg/220px-N2K-CABLING.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1f/N2K-CABLING.jpg/330px-N2K-CABLING.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1f/N2K-CABLING.jpg/440px-N2K-CABLING.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3072" data-file-height="2304" /></a><figcaption>NMEA-2000 cabling components incl. power-T</figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Message_format_and_parameter_group_numbers_(PGNs)"><span id="Message_format_and_parameter_group_numbers_.28PGNs.29"></span>Message format and parameter group numbers (PGNs)<span class="anchor" id="PGN"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=NMEA_2000&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Message format and parameter group numbers (PGNs)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In accordance with the SAE J1939 protocol, NMEA 2000 messages are sent as packets that consist of a header followed by (typically) 8 bytes of data.
