Major Differences Between Dynon Avionics EFIS, EMS, and SkyView
There is no integration or communication between Dynon Avionics EFIS and EMS
units and SkyView
Because of the enhanced capabilities of SkyView, there is no “backwards compatibility” for
SkyView systems to be able to communicate or interoperate with a Dynon Avionics EFIS or EMS.
SkyView displays are separate from the flight data sensors
With the exception of the EDC-D10A external magnetometer, a Dynon Avionics EFIS integrates
the flight data sensors within the instrument.

In a SkyView system, flight data sensors are
contained within the SV-ADAHRS-200 and SV-ADAHRS-201 (hereafter, referred to as SV-
ADAHRS-200/201). Similarly, in a Dynon Avionics EMS, the conversion of engine sensor signals
to data is done in the instrument; in a SkyView system, that conversion is performed in the SV-
EMS-220 module.
Because of this separation of flight sensors from displays, SkyView displays can be mounted in
any attitude.
SkyView Network is more sophisticated, redundant, with power vs. DSAB
SkyView Network improves on DSAB Network in several ways:

SkyView Network data rate is significantly faster than DSAB Network.

SkyView Network incorporates redundant data pairs with failover.

SkyView Network provides a power bus to power network modules, and includes a
secondary power bus.

Data from modules can be used on any SkyView display.

Up to three SkyView displays can be used in a SkyView Network.

SkyView Network wiring requires twisted pair wiring for the data pairs.
Other SkyView data communications

Devices that communicate via RS-232 (serial) such as GPS receivers, navigation radios,
transponders, etc. are connected to the serial ports on all SkyView displays, not SkyView
Network.

SkyView displays exchange some data over an Ethernet cable (in addition to exchanging
data over SkyView Network).

Serial and Ethernet wiring are explained in detail in the SkyView Installation Guide in the
section Electrical Installation Considerations.
3 Exception 1 – Magnetic heading is determined by the external EDC-D10A remote compass.
4 Exception 2 – In a SkyView system, the Outside Air Temperature (OAT) probe connects to the SV-ADAHRS-
200/201.
