The MiniPlex-3 Series NMEA multiplexers comprises a range
of advanced NMEA
multiplexers which combines data from multiple navigation
instruments.
Through an advanced filtering and routing system, this
data can be sent to other navigation instruments and to computers, tablets
and smartphones.
A bi-directional SeaTalk1 interface enables conversion
between SeaTalk1 data and NMEA 0183 sentences. This conversion works both
ways, allowing the MiniPlex-3 to replace Raymarine's SeaTalk-NMEA bridge
(E85001).
MiniPlex-3 models with an NMEA 2000 interface (-N2K
suffix) connect directly to an NMEA 2000 backbone and convert between NMEA
2000 PGN's, NMEA 0183 sentences and SeaTalk1 datagrams in all directions.
All data is available on one or more computer interfaces
in NMEA 0183 format. NMEA 2000 PGN's and SeaTalk datagrams for which no NMEA
0183 equivalent exists, can be converted to special NMEA 0183 sentences, allowing
software developers to support processing of raw NMEA 2000 and SeaTalk data.
Each and every port on a MiniPlex-3 multiplexer is
galvanically isolated from the internal electronics and from every other
port. This guarantees that no ground loops will be created when adding a
MiniPlex-3 to a navigation network. It also ensures a trouble free connection
to any type of NMEA 0183 port of any device.
The MiniPlex-3 multiplexers are all functionally identical
but differ in type and number of computer interfaces.
