NMEA 2000

Intelligent Gateway technology enables interfacing with NMEA 2000 and a PC, and converting between NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000.

The NGX-1 is an intelligent multi-function gateway, combining the power of our two previous generation products (NGT-1 and NGW-1) into one, cost effective, flexible product.

The NGX-1 provides an uncomplicated way to link between a boat’s data networks and converts NMEA 0183 data into NMEA 2000 data and vice-versa. Multiple NGX-1 units can be used to multiplex numerous 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 NGX-1 is also an NMEA 2000 to PC interface, able to precisely transfer messages to and from the NMEA 2000 bus. It is compatible with a wide range of chart-plotters, display and configuration applications available for PCs.

Actisense Toolkit and NMEA Reader software packages enable viewing of NMEA 2000 PGNs, device set-up, configuration and diagnostics all to be performed via the NGX-1.

DATASHEET

WGX-1 Gateway can act as an NMEA 2000 to PC Interface, or as a bi-directional NMEA 0183/2000 Converter with WiFi capability.

The WGX-1 is an intelligent gateway that can route and convert data bi-directionally between its NMEA 2000 and ISO (hard wired serial) ports as well as stream this data over Wi-Fi.

NMEA 2000 data can be converted to a number of useful formats. Converting NMEA 0183 data to NMEA 2000 (and vice versa), allows sharing of information between devices from the two standards.

The Actisense WGX-1 also makes it possible to send and receive NMEA 2000 data safely between a PC and an NMEA 2000 network.

Acting as an NMEA 2000 to PC Gateway allows the device to act as a rule enforcing firewall between the PC and the network, giving the user full control over what data is passed and blocked. The WGX is capable of transferring every currently available NMEA 2000 PGN from the network to a PC application. Advanced filtering allows precise control of data.

The WGX-1 wireless connectivity enables data transfer from the WGX to any device (e.g. laptop, tablet or smartphone) connected to it via Wi-Fi.

The ISO port provides OPTO Isolation on the input and ground breaking ISO-DriveTM technology on the output to keep your devices safe from hazardous ground loops.

Thanks to the device being low power, it is powered directly from the NMEA 2000 network, removing the requirement for an independent power supply.

The WGX-1 has the legendary Actisense “Reliability Built In” along with useful diagnostic LEDs, internal antenna, enhanced password security, full certification and all packaged in an extremely rugged IP67 case.

FEATURES

• OPTO-isolated input and ISO-Drive output for safely interfacing with NMEA 0183 or RS232 / RS422.

• Up to 230,400 baud rate data transfer rate.

• Integrated 0.75m ISO cable.

• Advanced configuration using Actisense Toolkit allows Tx / Rx lists and Tx rates to be set.

• Supports fast-heading at 10Hz.

• Actisense-i network health checker provides valuable feedback on status of NMEA 2000 network.

• Supports both TCP and UDP data streaming over Wi-Fi.

• Wide range of support for various mobile apps.

• Remote Firmware upgradability ensures the device is future proof.

• IP67 rugged case.

• Vital NMEA 2000 diagnostic tool.

• Diagnostic LED’s on both input and output.

DATASHEET

The W2K-1 is a compact and low-power NMEA 2000 to Wi-Fi Gateway with voyage data recording.

It transfers data from an NMEA 2000 backbone to any device (e.g. laptop, tablet or smartphone) connected to it via Wi-Fi.

It has built-in conversion of NMEA 2000 messages into NMEA 0183 sentences thus allowing a wide variety of vessel data (e.g. position, speed, course, wind speed, depth, engine data, AIS messages etc.) to be shared with NMEA 0183 compatible software applications running on connected devices.

All the data received (or a selected subset) can be logged to its internal micro SD card for later downloading to use for analysing the voyage. This is very useful for analysing race data, generating logbooks, diagnosing problems or even sharing your voyage details. Approximately 16 days of data can be stored on the pre-installed industrial grade micro SD card, which can be upgraded should the user require more storage.

The W2K-1 has the legendary Actisense “Reliability Built In” along with useful diagnostic LEDs, internal antenna, enhanced password security, full certification and all packaged in an extremely rugged IP67 case.

BENEFITS

Upgrade to NMEA 2000 while keeping your NMEA 0183 devices installed.

The Actisense NGW-1 NMEA 2000 Gateway is the easiest way to link between both old and new data networks. The NGW-1 can convert NMEA 0183 data into NMEA 2000 data and vice-versa.

The NGW-1 is available to purchase in a variety of options:

NGW-1-ISO is the standard option. With an opto-isolated input and ISO-Drive output for direct NMEA 0183 device bi-directional connection.

NGW-1-ISO-AIS is the NMEA 0183 AIS option that enables the conversion of NMEA 0183 AIS data to its equivalent in NMEA 2000. This provides an 'out of the box' solution for quick installation with no configuration required.

NGW-1-USB is the NMEA 0183 USB (1.1 and 2.0) interface for bi-directional connection to a PC for use with NMEA 0183 software.

Every option of the NGW-1 is available with the SeaTalkNG to NMEA 2000 adaptor Cable - STNG-A06045.

The Actisense NMEA Reader software utility allows the NGW-1 user to view and understand (in detail) the translated NMEA 0183 sentences output by an NGW-1 directly.

View essential engine data from an NMEA 2000 multi-function display.

The Actisense EMU-1 is a specialised analogue to NMEA 2000 Gateway which converts data from analogue engine gauges/senders into NMEA 2000 data.

The EMU-1 can monitor vital engine parameters such as temperature, pressure RPM and fluid levels from up to two engines.

The EMU-1 has a PC based configuration tool that allows the settings inside the EMU-1 to be changed to best suit the engine it is working with, making it a flexible solution for many engine makes and models. An Actisense PC to NMEA 2000 Gateway (NGT-1) is required to configure the EMU-1.

CUSTOM-CAUGE-MANAGER-GUIDE

An Ideal NMEA 2000 networking solution for areas of high instrument density.

The Actisense QNB-1 provides instrument drops for up to six NMEA 2000 devices offering a flexible alternative to multiple T-pieces and reducing the cost of an NMEA 2000 installation.

The QNB-1 is available in two versions:

The QNB-1-PMW version is fitted with six standard NMEA 2000 M12 (Micro-fit) female connectors which allow 'plug and play' connections for quick and easy installation. A Raymarine STNG backbone can be wired to one side of the QNB-1 to combine standard NMEA 2000 with STNG without the need for adapter cables.

The QNB-1 version is fitted with glands to allow for installation of custom lengths of cable. This is a great option for ‘mix & matching’ standard NMEA 2000 devices with Raymarine STNG devices.

Both versions are fitted with LEDs that provide information during set up and use to indicate the presence of data, power status, polarity and to show whether the fuses are intact.
