We are in the process of wiring our panel and would like to know if there is anyone who has the same combination of avionics we have. We are running into problems with the number of available serial ports to communicate with. We are also uncertain as to what information is communicated via the inter panel communication channels.
Is there anyone else with this combination:
(3) GRT HS Displays (One display has the ARINC 429, One Display has an internal GPS, The last display is 'plain')
GRT XM Weather
Garmin GNS430W
Garmin SL30
Garmin GTX327
Garmin GMA347
Tru-Trak VSGVII
Anyone else already been through this? If so we would really like the opportunity to pick your brain.
Thanks, Jason Kreidler

Jason. I have an almost identical set up with the exception of Garmin 530W and no SL30. Call me later today 772-460-3907, say about 4:00 PM eastern and I can fire up the panel and read you the set up. As an alternative, I think that I can back up my settings and email them to you. You may also contact GRT. They are VERY helpful.
Regards
Rob.

Jason,
I sent you an email off list - I have almost identical except 480 instead of 430W and a 330 instead of 327.

Jason,
Your GRT configuration is and will probably continue to be a popular configuration. I still have not decided on which solution I'm going with and will probably not for a while yet even though most of the electrical work is done. Why don't you share with the list what you are trying to accomplish. Those that have sent suggestion off list, might I suggest sharing with the list for those that are considering this same configuration.

Remember, for each transmit (Tx) serial line you can have multiple receivers (Rx). Many of your listed devices only require one or the other. Only a few require both Tx and Rx.
GNS430; Tx Aviation data to EFIS1/2, GTX327, TT VSGV
EFIS; Tx Icarus altitude data to GNS430, GTX327
EFIS; Tx / Rx to - from SL-30
I'll have to look up what the GRT XM Weather requires.

Using GRT Wx with the WS/HS versions of the GRT requires high speed
serial inputs to each DU (as opposed to using inter-DU communication).
When the new HX displays are on the scene they will use USB directly to
the Wx receiver (processor box not needed with the HX). Only ports 1 &
2 on the WS/HS support the 115,200 high speed serial rate. For
redundancy there are some cases where a single device (like the
AHRS/ADC) feeds multiple DUs.
I'd be happy to email my connectivity and configuration documents to
those interested. My panel config has the following so it's pretty
complete starting point:
GRT (3 screens)
PMA-8000B
SL-30
GNS-480
GTX-330
TruTrak Digiflight II-VSGV
GRT Weather receiver/processor
CO Guardian 353
AOA Pro
It is a relatively minor wiring difference between the GNS-480 I'm using
and a 430W and doesn't impact the serial port configuration.

I have pretty much the same set-up. Call Carlos at GRT, he was very helpfull. I e-mailed him my set-up and he sent back a spread sheet with all the different wires and serial requirments. We have powered mine up and so far it all works. Call me if you like.
