I/O NMEA Serial Over Ethernet Gateway
NM-431MP
Power Supply
12 or 24 VDC
Input Ports
4 x isolated NMEA0183®
Output Ports
3 x RS422/TTL + 1 x RS232 (Shared with Input 1)
The NM-431MP is a multiport I/O interface featuring 4 optically isolated input ports, 3 RS422 signal level output ports, 1 RS232 signal level I/O port (shared with input 1) and a Serial over Ethernet I/O Interface It is intended for use with computer based marine systems such as ECDIS, SVDR/VDR and Conning systems where NMEA-0183 data must be acquired from multiple sources such as GPS, Gyro, Log, AIS, Radar ARPA, Echo Sounder, Wind instrument and BNWAS The connection to the computers is achieved via the Serial over Ethernet Interface with the use of a single CAT5 cable, either by creating four virtual serial ports or directly to four user selectable UDP sockets for application supporting this feature
