NGW-1 Datasheet - Actisense - #1

Text version of the page

Hook up to NMEA 2000 now, while keeping your current NMEA 0183 devices... The Actisense NMEA 2000 to NMEA 0183 Gateway (NGW) provides an easy way to link between your boat's data networks. The NGW makes it possible to convert NMEA 0183 data into NMEA 2000 data and vice-versa. The NGW comes factory configured to translate the core NMEA data, and using the advanced configuration software provided, it is simple to set up which data items you want. Multiple NGW units can be used to multiplex many NMEA 0183 devices onto the NMEA 2000 network, using the network as a means of combining and transferring all data from one place to another. The high reliability of NMEA 2000 data transfers ensure effective communication even in the presence of interference. The required data can be taken from the bus wherever it's needed, reducing wiring complexity. The NGW comes in two versions that feature the latest Actisense innovations. The NGW-1 utilises Actisense's ISO-Drive technology to provide a fully isolated serial output port that can “float” safely up to 1.5 kV from ground. The serial input port is also fully OPTO isolated using a 2.5 kV OPTO circuit. These features make the NGW-1 free from ground loop installation issues. Also available is the NGW-1-USB which allows quick connection of the NMEA 2000 network to a computer via the USB port running NMEA 0183 compatible software (such as chart plotter software). 2.5 kV isolation between the NMEA 2000 and USB ports mean that the NGW-1- USB can be used with peace of mind. Features • Full bi-directional electrical isolation • Can connect to either PC COM Port or NMEA 0183 marine serial interfaces • Up to 230400 bps data transfer rate Uses • Upgrade your current NMEA 0183 equipment and connect it to your NMEA 2000 network • Allow your NMEA 0183 intruments to receive vital NMEA 2000 data • Provide a gateway between the new and old bus systems, allowing data sharing both ways • Use the NMEA 2000 network to multiplex many NMEA 0183 signals onto a single bus A C T I S E N S E D A T A S H E E T NMEA 2000 to 0183 Gateway NGW-1 / NGW-1-USB
