The Actisense NMEA 0183 Multiplexer (PRO-NDC-1E) is a type-approved, intelligent and robust platform that solves many interconnectivity problems.
The PRO-NDC-1E is reliable, robust, and offers industry-leading isolation on all inputs and outputs as standard, allowing connected devices to avoid dangerous ground loops - the most common cause of product failure in NMEA 0183 networks.
The five NMEA 0183 inputs can be routed to either of the two NMEA 0183 outputs, creating a highly adaptable network. A bidirectional serial port enables communication between the PRO-NDC-1E and a PC using the Actisense USB serial converter: USBKIT-PRO (sold separately), and the Ethernet port enables easy configuration and diagnostics with the Actisense software.
The configuration tool is accessible via any standard web browser (through the Ethernet port), so there are no compatibility issues with the PC operating system. With the web-based configuration tool, the user can fine-tune the exact data available at each output. By default, all data is routed to all outputs.
Thanks to the two-part connectors on the PRO-NDC-1E, new devices can be connected easily without having to remove the unit from its mounting location.
The PRO-NDC-1E can either be mounted directly on the wall (using the supplied screws) or attached to a DIN rail with professional DIN rail brackets (sold separately).
