The Actisense NGW-1 provides an uncomplicated way to link a boat’s data networks. The NGW-1 Gateway makes it possible to convert NMEA 0183 data into NMEA 2000 data and vice-versa. Using the advanced configuration software provided, it is straightforward to set up which data conversions are required.
With an ISO-Drive output and an OPTO-isolated input, the NGW-1 is ensured to be free from ground loop installation issues and meets all isolation requirements for NMEA 2000 networks.
Simple to use, the NGW-1 is provided with all the required cabling, and also incorporates screw terminal connectors within the case to allow customer specific wiring to be undertaken. A USB version is also available which creates a virtual communications port via a PC connection.
By allowing the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ to work together, NGW-1 avoids the all-or-nothing headache of upgrading to an NMEA 2000 system.
