B&G H5000 Modules

B&G H5000 Serial Expansion Interface

Unlock the full potential of your B&G H5000 instrument and autopilot system with the H5000 Serial Expansion Interface. Engineered for the discerning sailor who demands flexibility, accuracy, and seamless integration, this essential module bridges the gap between your state-of-the-art H5000 network and a wide array of NMEA 0183-based devices. Whether you are looking to incorporate specialized sensors, legacy equipment, or third-party navigation tools, this interface provides the robust connectivity needed to build a truly comprehensive and powerful onboard electronics suite.

The H5000 Serial Expansion Interface is the key to creating a unified data network. It allows expansion of an H5000 system to enable additional serial interfacing options. It is typically used for interfacing a B&G HGSC compass, external GPS units, high-precision Gyro Compasses, and other NMEA 0183 devices such as satellite phones or specific AIS receivers. By centralizing data through your H5000 CPU, you gain unparalleled control and access to critical information across all your B&G displays.

Configuration is made simple and intuitive. Gone are the days of complex setup procedures; this module is configured directly through the H5000 CPU´s standard web browser interface, allowing you to easily manage NMEA 0183 sentences, baud rates, and update frequencies from a connected laptop or tablet. This ensures your data is transmitted reliably and at the optimal rate for peak system performance.
