B&G Hercules WTP Sailing Processor

B&G Hercules WTP Sailing Processor Product Description

Hercules WTP Sailing Processor

Hercules® WTP is B & G's most advanced sailing processor, sitting at the heart of Grand Prix sailing systems. Python scripting allows users to script custom variables, calibration routines, and more. Extended third-party support and the addition of ModBus technology open Hercules WTP up to a new world of integration, including third-party technology.

Custom Scripting

Make your data your own with Hercules WTP. The addition of Python scripting allows users to create custom data variables, scripts, and calibration routines, with full access to B & G instrument data. Users can also implement custom data decoding with support for third-party technology.

Total Integration 

Ethernet and NMEA 2000 connections allow for easy installation alongside existing Triton™, H5000, and Nemesis™ components. Hercules WTP also brings additional third-party support for compass data, while ModBus support takes integration to another level, connecting easily with third-party systems.

Simple Management 

An enhanced user ecosystem puts you in total control of the processor’s full 1 kHz data handling and logging capabilities. Interact with Hercules WTP via an intuitive web interface on a PC or tablet, or take advantage of full integration with the B & G App.
