Navigation Data Distribution System
Highly Configurable Solution
- Electronicon AS developed hardware
- Simple buffering of serial data (one input to one or many serial outputs)
- Data format conversion (e.g. Proprietary to standard NMEA format)
- Transmission speed conversion (Data rate, Baudrate conversion)
- Combining data from different sensors into a single output interface
- Data filtering (only allow distribution of specific data messages, e.g. only distribute NMEA GGA, ZDA, VTG messages from a GPS unit)
- Data message manipulation (e.g.. add time stamp data, change data source indicator etc. to a data message before redistribution)
- Distribution of data from (Auto Selection) the best/prioritized data source
- Act as a low latency media converter: Serial Data -> LAN, LAN -> Serial Data
- Digital Distribution
- Synchro Distribution
- Synchro to Digital conversion
- Digital to Synchro conversion
- High power Synchro modules
- Analog to Digital conversion modules
- Multiple digital interfaces FormatsType text here
Navigation Interface Unit
The “Navigation Interface Unit” (NIU) is a data distributor, data translator and data monitor for ships using multiple navigational sensors (e.g. GPS, Gyro, INS, Log, AIS, Weather Stations, etc.) and having a large number of systems requiring data from these sensors.
Synchro Modules
- Standalone serial data to Synchro format converter unit
- Dual synchro output (1VA each)
- Fine + Coarse or two independent outputs
- 90V L-L (115V ref) or 11,8 V L-L (26V ref)
- Selectable formats: Heading, Roll, Pitch or custom.
- Ratio 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, 1:36, 1:45 or 1:360
- Two RS422 serial data input interfaces
- Status display for each synchro output
- Customizable serial data input formats
Module base Design
- DDM 8 input/output digital procesor module
