Actisense NMEA data processing module 150kHz

Actisense NMEA Data Processing Module: The Intelligent Hub for Your Marine Electronics Network

Elevate your vessel´s data management with the Actisense NMEA Data Processing Module, the definitive solution for integrating, controlling, and safeguarding your critical marine navigation and instrument data. Designed for the serious mariner who demands reliability and precision, this advanced module acts as the central nervous system for your boat´s electrical connections, eliminating data conflicts, and ensuring every piece of equipment communicates flawlessly. Move beyond simple data buffering and embrace intelligent network management that puts you in complete control. Whether you are retrofitting an older vessel or building a state-of-the-art navigation suite, this Actisense module provides the power and flexibility to create a robust, unified, and future-proof on-board data network.

Key Benefits:

* Eliminate Data Conflicts: Intelligently combine multiple NMEA 0183 data streams from sources like GPS, AIS, and wind instruments into a single, coherent feed for your chartplotter, PC, or autopilot, preventing data overwrites and confusion.
* Total Data Control: Utilize a powerful routing and filtering engine to precisely manage which data goes where. Block unnecessary sentences to reduce network load or route specific information to dedicated displays, tailoring the data flow to your exact needs.
* Future-Proof Compatibility: With configurable input and output baud rates, the module seamlessly integrates legacy instruments with modern high-speed devices, protecting your investment and ensuring smooth operation across your entire electronics suite.
* Unmatched Reliability: Featuring OPTO-isolated inputs and ISO-Drive outputs, the module protects all connected equipment from hazardous ground loops and voltage spikes, providing peace of mind that your expensive marine electronics are safe.
* Simplified Diagnostics: On-board diagnostic LEDs provide an at-a-glance status of data flow on all inputs and outputs, making troubleshooting and system verification quick and straightforward without requiring complex diagnostic tools.

Main Features:

* Multiple NMEA 0183 OPTO-isolated inputs
* Multiple NMEA 0183 ISO-Drive outputs for powering multiple listeners
* Advanced data filtering and sentence-level routing
* Intelligent data multiplexing (combining)
* Autoswitching mode for data source redundancy
* Configurable baud rates from 4800 to 115200
* Serial port for advanced configuration and data monitoring
* Water-resistant electronics with a rugged, protective enclosure
* Pluggable connectors for quick and easy installation
* Diagnostic LEDs for power, data in, data out, and status

Adapters and System Integration:

This Actisense module is more than just a component; it is a powerful central adapter for your entire NMEA network. It functions as a smart hub that bridges the communication gap between various pieces of marine equipment. Connect your GPS, depth sounder, speed log, AIS receiver, and wind vane—even if they operate at different speeds—and the module will intelligently manage and distribute their data. It effectively acts as a universal translator and traffic controller, converting a complex web of individual electrical connections into a streamlined and efficient data highway. By connecting to an Actisense NGW-1 NMEA 2000 Gateway, its capabilities can be further expanded to integrate your NMEA 0183 devices into a newer NMEA 2000 network, making it the ultimate adapter for hybrid systems.
