The Actisense® NGT-1 NMEA2000® to PC Interface provides an easy way to link a PC to an NMEA2000® network and precisely transfer messages to and from the NMEA2000® bus. The NGT-1 makes it possible for software applications to read from and write to the NMEA2000® bus while maintaining network integrity. It enables software developers to create feature rich software applications that can fully interact with an NMEA2000® network all of its data.

The diagnostic NMEA Reader software allows viewing of NMEA2000® messages with configuration options, enabling the set-up of all Actisense products on the NMEA2000® bus making it a vital NMEA2000® diagnostic tool.

NGT-1-USB is the standard option - USB interface for bi-directional connection to a PC. It is used as a NMEA2000® gateway to a PC that has a USB port providing full USB interface for bi-directional connection to a PC. Can be used with NMEA2000® chartplotter software or similar that has been certified as compatible with the NGT-1 or with free NMEA Reader software.

Full galvanic Opto-isolation is provided for superior protection of the PC’s USB port maintaining full isolation between the PC input and output and the NMEA2000® bus connections.

INSTALLERS NOTE:

NGT-1 units are NMEA2000® gateways. Their typical application is to interface a NMEA2000® backbone to a PC, usually for chart plotting software or PC based ship controls/diagnostics. NGT-1 units are NOT designed to work directly with standard NMEA 0183 software. If NMEA2000® to NMEA 0183 translation is required, the Actisense® NGW-1 has been designed for this operation.
