Onwa N2K and NMEA0183 Bidirectional Converter

Description

The Onwa N2K and NMEA0183 Bidirectional Converter is a versatile device designed to seamlessly integrate NMEA 0183 and NMEA2000 systems. With its advanced capabilities, this converter offers a range of features that enhance compatibility and connectivity between these two marine communication standards.

The converter excels at converting NMEA 0183 sentences to NMEA2000 Parameter Group Numbers (PGNs), enabling smooth data exchange between devices utilizing different protocols. It also performs the reverse function by converting NMEA2000 PGNs to NMEA0183 sentences, facilitating interoperability with legacy equipment. One of the standout features of this converter is the built-in WIFI solution, a new addition that enhances convenience and accessibility. With WIFI connectivity, users can easily configure and control the converter using compatible devices, streamlining the setup process.

Designed with efficiency in mind, the converter draws power directly from the NMEA2000 network, eliminating the need for an external power supply. This makes installation hassle-free and reduces clutter onboard.

The converter offers flexibility in configuring the baudrate for NMEA0183 communication, allowing users to tailor the settings to their specific requirements. It supports both RS232 and RS422 interfaces for NMEA0183 input/output, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices. To enhance reliability and protect connected systems, the converter features opto-isolation on the NMEA2000 CAN bus, providing electrical isolation and preventing potential issues caused by ground loops or electrical interference.

Thanks to its intelligent design, the converter can automatically detect the baudrate and supported sentence types of incoming NMEA0183 data, simplifying the setup process and ensuring seamless communication between devices.

The converter offers convenient firmware upgrade capabilities and the ability to configure the NMEA0183 output baudrate through a user-friendly webpage interface. This allows for easy updates and adjustments to match specific requirements. With its plug and play installation, the converter can be quickly integrated into existing NMEA networks, minimizing downtime and maximizing operational efficiency. Its user-friendly nature ensures a smooth experience for both novice and experienced users alike.

In summary, the Onwa N2K and NMEA0183 Bidirectional Converter with NMEA2000 Certification is a feature-rich solution that bridges the gap between NMEA 0183 and NMEA2000 systems. With its advanced functionality, built-in WIFI capabilities, easy installation, and configurable options, this converter provides a reliable and convenient solution for seamless communication and integration in marine applications.
