Actisense NGT-1-ISO NMEA 2000 Serial Interface

The Actisense® NMEA 2000 to PC Interface transfers NMEA 2000 messages to and from the NMEA 2000 bus using the Actisense Comms Dynamic Linked Library (DLL). This ensures that all Actisense certified PC software can send and receive pure NMEA 2000 data, without any translations getting in the way and changing the data.

The NGT-1 works in partnership with specialist PC software to allow viewing and/or sending of data to and from the NMEA 2000 bus. It can also be used with the Actisense configuration utility to re-configure any Actisense NGW-1 units that are on the bus - acting as the master remote control node.

The new Actisense NMEA Reader software utility can now be downloaded from the Actisense website. This utility allows the NGT-1 user to view and understand (in detail) the NMEA 2000 messages.

This version of the NGT-1 has a bare wire interface for use with a PC serial port. The very latest Actisense® ISO-Drive technology has been used in the NGT-1 to separate the output from ground. Electrical spike protection is provided as standard on the NGT-1's input using full galvanic Opto-isolation to provide superior protection to the PC (or equivalent) serial port. Thus full isolation is maintained between the PC (or equivalent) input and output and the NMEA 2000 CAN bus. Note that the NGT-1 does not convert from NMEA 2000 to NMEA 0183 and must be used with NMEA 2000 compatible software.

Simple to use, the NGT-1 is provided with all required cabling, and also incorporates screw terminal connectors within the case to allow customer specific wiring to be used (if required).
