Actisense NGW-1 - NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000®

Actisense NGW-1 - NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000® Product Description

The Actisense NGW-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 vessels electronics to NMEA 2000 and keeping the remaining NMEA 0183 devices.

NMEA2000 to NMEA 0183 Gateway is the easiest way to link between a boats old and new data networks. The NGW-1 converts NMEA 0183 data into NMEA2000 data and vice-versa. Once the single cable NMEA2000 gateway has been installed data from any node on the bus can be listened to by any other, including any NMEA 0183 instruments connected using an NGW-1. The NMEA2000 network acts like a bi-directional multiplexer, allowing all data sources to talk and listen to each other. Multiple NGW-1 units can be used to multiplex numerous NMEA 0183 devices onto the NMEA2000 network, using the network as a means of combining and transferring all data items from one place to another.

The Actisense NMEA Reader software utility allows the NGW-1 user to view and understand (in detail) the translated NMEA 0183 sentences output by an NGW-1 directly.

NGW-1: gateway is the standard option, with an opto-isolated input and ISO-Drive output for direct NMEA 0183 device bidirectional connection.

INSTALLERS NOTE:

NGW-1 will convert NMEA2000 data to NMEA 0183 and vice versa but every application must be checked against Actisenses conversion list of PGNs the latest NGW-1s firmware is capable of handling. This list details exactly what NMEA 0183 sentences can be converted into NMEA2000 messages, and what NMEA2000 messages can be converted into NMEA 0183 sentences.
