Actisense 0183 to N2K Gateway w/PC Interface, USB [NGX-1-USB]

Product Description

0183 to N2K Gateway with PC Interface, USB

The NGX-1 is an intelligent gateway that converts NMEA 0183 data to NMEA 2000 (and vice versa), allowing you to share information between devices from the two standards. This creates the possibility of upgrading some of the vessel’s electronics to NMEA 2000 and keeping the remaining NMEA 0183 devices. This can help spread the cost of transitioning to NMEA 2000, reducing the initial upgrade cost to accommodate a new NMEA 2000 device. 

The ISO variant connects easily to NMEA 0183 devices with a dedicated pair of data wires for transmit and receive, allowing the NGX-1 to share data bi-directionally if required. OPTOIsolation is included on the input and groundbreaking ISO-DriveTM technology is on the output to keep your devices safe from hazardous ground loops. 

The USB Variant allows for quick and easy connectivity to a PC running software that requires NMEA 0183 data.

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 Actisense NGX-1 also makes it possible to send and receive NMEA 2000 data safely between a PC and an NMEA 2000 network. This creates the possibility of feature-rich software applications replacing or complementing dedicated hardware such as a Multifunction Display (MFD) or Chart Plotter. 

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 NGX is capable of transferring every currently available NMEA 2000 PGN from the network to a PC application.

Features:

• Vital NMEA 2000 diagnostic tool.
• USB version is fully isolated to prevent dangerous ground loops.
• Up to 230,400 baud rate data transfer rate.
• Integrated 1.8m USB cable.
• Diagnostic LEDs on both input and output.

Integrate Seamlessly with Raymarine® Products

The STNG-A06045 adaptor cable enables users to integrate Raymarine SeaTalkNG products into the standard configured NMEA 2000® bus and vice-versa. Currently only available when purchased with an Actisense NMEA 2000® Gateway product.
