YANMAR 3G PANEL 164010 16141 ANALOG CAN CONVERTER YM0 329 001 16:17

This unit is a specialized communication interface device, commonly known as the 3G Panel or Analog CAN Converter, designed for Yanmar marine and industrial engines. Its primary function is to act as a bridge between older analog engine sensors and modern digital display and control systems.

Part Number Identification:

• Main Part Number: 164010

• Sub-assembly/Reference Number: 16141

• Yanmar Model Code: YM0 329 001

• Common Name: 3G Panel, Analog CAN Converter

Primary Function and Purpose

The YM0 329 001 converter is a critical component in engine system upgrades and integrations. It solves the compatibility problem between legacy engines and modern instrumentation.

Its core purpose is to:

1. Collect Analog Signals: Gather data from traditional analog sensors on the engine (e.g., temperature, pressure, RPM, fuel level).

2. Convert to Digital Data: Translate these analog signals into a standardized digital format.

3. Broadcast on CAN Bus: Output the data onto a CAN (Controller Area Network) bus, which is the standard communication protocol used by modern gauges, displays, and alarm systems.

Key Features

• Legacy System Integration: Enables the retrofitting of new digital display panels (like Yanmar’s multi-function displays) to older engine models that were not originally equipped with a CAN bus system.

• Multi-Channel Input: Typically features multiple input channels to connect various analog sensors simultaneously.

• Plug-and-Play Design: Often designed to integrate seamlessly with existing Yanmar engine wiring harnesses, simplifying installation.

• NMEA 2000 Compliant: The CAN output is typically compliant with the NMEA 2000 marine data network standard, allowing engine data to be shared with other compatible devices on the vessel, such as chart plotters, GPS units, and autopilots.

• Compact and Ruggedized: Housed in a durable casing designed to withstand the harsh environments of marine and industrial applications, including resistance to vibration, moisture, and temperature extremes.

• Central Gateway: Acts as the central “brain” for a 3rd Generation (hence “3G”) instrumentation system, consolidating all vital engine parameters into a single data stream.

Typical Applications

This converter is used in a wide range of Yanmar-powered equipment:

• Marine Engines: Sailboats and powerboats where owners are upgrading from basic analog gauges to a full digital instrument system.

• Industrial Engines: Generator sets, construction equipment, and agricultural machinery requiring integration into a modern digital control panel.

• Repower Projects: When replacing an old engine with a newer Yanmar model that uses a different electronic control system.
