MX Marine, a world leader in GPS technology introduces the revolutionary, new MX 575 D/GPS Compass, offering unprecedented performance and setting standards in GPS compass technology
• IMO type approved as secondary heading device • D/GPS Compass provides accurate 2D heading and positioning data to MX420 CDU, AIS, ARPA radar, sonar, and chartplotters • Smart marine antenna design requires no external processor or display, simplifying installation• Heading accuracy of 0.5 ° • Heading updates up to 10 Hz
• 1 Hz position updates • Integrated DGPS sources including WAAS, EGNOS, and Marine beacon• Better than 2-meter differential positioning accuracy• Fast start-up times
• Sustained tracking during rates of turn up to 25º/s• Sealed enclosure with IP 67 rating
• NMEA 0183 interface with optional external RTCM SC-104 corrections• External MBL-3 antenna for better differential signal reception
MBL-3 Beacon Antenna IMO Compliant System GPS Compass Interface
The MX 575 GPS compass is designed to provide the MX 420 navigation and AIS systems with reliable heading, ROT (Rate of Turn) and position information. The MX 575 delivers a heading accuracy of better than 0.5° at update rates of up to 10 Hz. It also provides sub-meter DGPS positioning accuracy when using RTCM correction data supplied from internal beacon demodulator. The MX 575 features two independent RS-232 serial ports and one RS-422 port. Either RS-232 port may be confi gured freely for a variety of NMEA 0183 output sentences or for the input of RTCM correction data from an external source. The output of the RS-422 port mirrors that of one RS-232 port.
COAST™ Technology
The MX 575 features COAST™ technology that allows it to use old correction data for up to 40 minutes without seriously affecting positioning performance. This feature offers peace of mind and allows you to focus on more important issues than reliability of a differential signal.
Additional Sensors
To augment the GPS-derived heading, the MX 575 includes other supplemental devices. The combination of inclinometer and magnetic sensing devices aid the rate at which a heading solution is computed on startup and also speeds up reacquisition. A rate gyro provides a secondary source of heading data in times when the GPS heading is not available due to temporary obstructions. These sensors improve performance and increase dependability of the MX 575. *
