MiniPlex-3E-N2K er en avansert multiplekser som kombinerer NMEA 0183 data fra flere kilder til en strøm. Gateway funksjonen sørger for konvertering mellom NMEA 0183 og NMEA 2000 i begge retninger.
Den har også 2 NMEA 0183 utganger og en ethernet port, og mottatte NMEA 0183 setninger kan blir rutet individuelt til hver av disse utgangene etter brukerens oppsett.
Fra produsent:
The Ethernet port is bi-directional, so it can transmit NMEA 0183 data onto an Ethernet network and at the same time, it can receive NMEA 0183 data to be routed to one or both NMEA 0183 outputs. Thus, NMEA 0183 data can be distributed to multiple devices connected to the network.
Communication speeds up to 115200 baud are supported.
SeaTalk
Input 1 can be set to SeaTalk mode, so it can transmit and receive SeaTalk data. Received SeaTalk data is converted to NMEA 0183 while NMEA 0183 data from any input or Ethernet port can be selectively routed and converted to the SeaTalk port.
All NMEA 0183 inputs, outputs and Ethernet port are galvanically isolated, thus preventing any chance of ground loops.
A comprehensive set of features include routing/filtering of NMEA 0183 sentences, numerous conversions, prioritisation of data etc. make the MiniPlex-3E the ultimate solution for any interfacing requirement.
NMEA 2000 Gateway
The MiniPlex-3E-N2K also serves as a multiple gateway between NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000. Each NMEA 0183 input is visible on the NMEA 2000 network as an individual Data Source, one for each physical input, conversions and Ethernet port: 6 in total.
Using the Routing Table, data from every possible NMEA 2000 source can be routed to the Ethernet port and/or both NMEA 0183 outputs.
