Actisense NGX-1 NMEA 2000 Dual Gateway
Intelligent Gateway technology enables interfacing with NMEA 2000 and a PC, and converting between NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000.
The NGX-1 is an intelligent multi-function gateway, combining the power of our two previous generation products (NGT-1 and NGW-1) into one, cost effective, flexible product.
The NGX-1 provides an uncomplicated way to link between a boat’s data networks and converts NMEA 0183 data into NMEA 2000 data and vice-versa. Multiple NGX-1 units can be used to multiplex numerous NMEA 0183 devices onto the NMEA 2000 network, using the network as a means of combining and transferring all data from one place to another.
The NGX-1 is also an NMEA 2000 to PC interface, able to precisely transfer messages to and from the NMEA 2000 bus. It is compatible with a wide range of chart-plotters, display and configuration applications available for PCs.
