| Hook up to NMEA 2000 now, whilst keeping your
current NMEA 0183 devices ... |
The Actisense® NMEA 2000 to NMEA 0183
Gateway is the easiest way to link between a boats old and new data networks.
The NGW-1 can convert NMEA 0183 data into NMEA 2000 data and vice-versa.
Using the advanced configuration software it is simple to set up which data items
you want translated between the two buses.
The NGW-1 allows current NMEA 0183 equipment to be kept, or allows the latest
NMEA 2000 equipment to be incorporated into the NMEA 0183 system. Once the single
cable NMEA 2000 bus system has been installed, data from any node on the bus can
be listened to by any other, including any NMEA 0183 instruments connected using
an NGW-1.
The new Actisense NMEA Reader software utility can now be downloaded from this page. This utility allows the NGW-1 user to view and understand (in detail) the translated NMEA 0183 sentences output by an NGW-1 device directly, or via an Actisense USG-1.
The NMEA 2000 network acts like a bi-directional multiplexer, allowing all data
sources to talk and listen to each other.
The NGW-1 is available in two configurations:
- NGW-1-ISO: Standard option - Opto-isolated input, and ISO-Drive
output for direct NMEA 0183 device bi-directional connection.
The very latest Actisense® ISO-Drive technology has
been used in the NGW-1 to separate the output from ground. Electrical spike
protection is provided as standard on the NGW-1's input using full galvanic
Opto-isolation to provide superior protection to the NMEA source device. Thus
full isolation is maintained between the NMEA 0183 input and output and the
NMEA 2000 CAN bus connections.
- NGW-1-USB: NMEA 0183 chartplotter option - full USB (1.1 & 2.0)
interface for bi-directional connection to a PC.
Normally for use with existing NMEA 0183 chartplotter software or similar.
Full galvanic Opto-isolation is provided for superior protection of PC. Thus
full isolation is maintained between the NMEA 0183 input and output and the
NMEA 2000 CAN bus.
Simple to use, the NGW-1 is provided with all required cabling, and also incorporates
screw terminal connectors within the case to allow customer specific wiring to
be used (if required).
