Actisense NMEA 0183 Multiplexer /NMEA 2000 Gateway - PRO-NDC-1E2K
Interconnectivity, reimagined!
The PRO-NDC-1E2K is much more than an NMEA 0183 multiplexer...
Rugged, robust, type-approved multiplexer with integrated NMEA 2000 connectivity, high-speed Ethernet streaming of data, flexible configuration, auto-switching and sentence filtering.
Multiplexers are typically used to combine the data output of multiple instruments into a smaller number of outputs. Since you cannot connect two talkers directly to one listener, a multiplexer enables the output of the data via a single talker connection.
An example of this would be a commercial vessel with multiple NMEA 0183 GPS, wind, AIS and depth instruments. To combine all of this data and send it to an NMEA 0183 display, the various talker inputs can be combined into one output on the PRO-NDC-1E2K. If the data is required in an NMEA 2000 network, the 1E2K can convert this data and output it to a connected N2K network thanks to the conversion matrix in the product and the integrated NMEA2000 connectivity.
With the PRO-NDC-1E2K, data can be filtered, routed or blocked and monitored, enabling greater flexibility and control over all instrument data.
The device is also capable of streaming NMEA data in various formats over Ethernet, meaning it can be connected to other existing Ethernet systems and pass vessel data to connected third-party applications or devices.
Managing and routing your NMEA data is simple and hassle-free with the PRO-NDC-1E2K
- Automatic switching between inputs to allow a primary, secondary and tertiary priority input.
- Configurable baud rates so devices with 38400 and 4800 baud can operate through the same multiplexer.
- Sentence filtering to block unwanted sentences from specific outputs helps limit bandwidth usage.
- Easy configuration via the web-based user interface, no manual entry and editing of text strings required.
- RINA-approved device means the multiplexer is suitable for leisure, commercial and class/type installations.
- Multiple LEDs enable quick diagnostics to ensure everything is functioning correctly.
- Certified NMEA 2000 device connectivity enables data conversion and output to an NMEA 2000 network.
- Bidirectional conversion into and out of the N2K network enables seamless integration between old and new devices.
- NMEA 0183 data streaming over Ethernet enables connection to existing Ethernet devices and systems.
- NMEA 2000 data transmission over Ethernet.
5 OPTO-isolated NMEA 0183 inputs and 2 ISO-Drive NMEA 0183 outputs provide protection for all connected devices.
