Hi,
I worked on a boat with a MTU engines so it has MTU Blue Line monitoring and control system. It has its special CAN bus protocol and my customer asked me to install a displays on the bridge to monitor the different standard values RPM, oil temp, oil pressure... because they have only analog gauges on the bridge and fly bridge.
I saw at schematics there is an output RS422 from one of the monitoring modules at bridge and I was thinking about the possibility of installing displays which work with same protocol (RS422, RS485). The supplier asked to the manufacturer but as MTU is very special and protected brand they are not sure it will work.
I have RS422 to RS232 conversor to connect my laptop there so I´m thinking if there is a way to be sure this will work. Which software or tests can I do for that?
