Actisense NMEA data processing module 200kHz

Actisense NDC-5: Advanced NMEA 0183 Data Processing Module & Multiplexer

Streamline and unify your vessel´s complex marine electronics network with the Actisense NDC-5, the intelligent and powerful NMEA 0183 data processing module. Designed for boat owners and marine installers who demand reliability and control, the NDC-5 acts as the central hub for all your NMEA 0183 instruments. It expertly manages data streams from multiple sources—such as your GPS, AIS, depth sounder (including data from 200kHz transducers), wind instruments, and compass—eliminating data conflicts and ensuring that crucial information reaches its destination accurately and without interruption.

The Actisense NDC-5 is far more than a simple multiplexer; it is a sophisticated data processing engine. It intelligently combines up to five NMEA 0183 inputs and routes the combined data stream to two NMEA 0183 outputs, as well as a serial port and an Ethernet port. This allows for seamless integration with chartplotters, PCs, mobile devices, and other onboard systems. By converting your vessel´s disparate data conversations into one cohesive and manageable network, this device provides the robust foundation required for modern navigation and monitoring. The advanced configuration options allow you to filter, route, and prioritize sentences, giving you complete command over your data flow.

Key Benefits:

* Eliminate Data Collisions: Intelligently combines multiple NMEA 0183 data streams into a single, coherent output, preventing the data loss and errors common in systems with multiple "talkers."
* Ultimate Connectivity & Flexibility: With five inputs, two outputs, plus serial and Ethernet ports, the NDC-5 connects legacy and modern devices with ease. It provides a pathway to get NMEA 0183 data onto an Ethernet network for use with a wide range of software and apps.
* Powerful User Configuration: A user-friendly, browser-based configuration tool allows for simple setup and advanced customization. You can define custom routing, block unwanted sentences, and adjust baud rates for each input and output to perfectly match your system´s requirements.
* Isolate and Protect Your Equipment: Featuring OPTO-isolated inputs and ISO-Drive™ outputs, the NDC-5 creates a protective electrical barrier, safeguarding your valuable marine electronics from ground loops and voltage spikes that can cause permanent damage.
