Actisense NGW-1-USB can convert NMEA0183 data to NMEA2000 and vice versa. So you can very easily connect your new NMEA200 equipment to your older NMEA0183 equipment.
Using the configuration software, it is easy to set up. With setting, you specify what data is needed for data traffic to occur in both directions.
See below for just some of the benefits of using the NGW-1:
Upgrade NMEA 0183 devices to NMEA 2000
Allow NMEA 0183 devices to receive vital data from NMEA 2000
Use the NMEA 2000 bus to multiplex different NMEA together 0183 signals
Configure using NMEA Reader
The Actisense NGW-1 is available for four configurations:
The Actisense NGW-1-ISO has an opto-isolated input and ISO-Drive output for direct NMEA 0183 device bi-directional connection.
The Actisense NGW-1-ISO-AIS is the NMEA 0183 AIS option. This is a pre-configured version of the standard NGW-1-ISO that converts NMEA 0183 AIS data to its equivalent in NMEA 2000. This provides an “out of the box” solution for quick installation with no configuration required. See the conversion list in the downloads section to see what AIS conversions the device can perform.
The Actisense NGW-1-USB is the NMEA 0183 chartplotter option. USB (1.1 and 2.0) interface for bi-directional connection to a PC.
The Actisense NGW-1-STNG is the Raymarine SeaTalk NG option. This version allows users to convert NMEA 0183 data to SeaTalk NG and vice-versa, allowing seamless integration with Raymarine products. The NGW-1-STNG option combines a standard NGW-1-ISO with a Raymarine SeaTalk NG adapter cable to interface legacy instruments to the NMEA 2000-based SeaTalk NG bus.
