Description

The NGX-1 is Actisense's intelligent dual gateway, combining the capability of the earlier NGT-1 and NGW-1 into one flexible, cost-effective device. Configure it as an NMEA 2000 to PC interface or as a bi-directional NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000 conversion gateway, so a single unit covers both jobs.

This USB version is fitted with a moulded USB cable for genuine plug-and-play connectivity with a PC or Mac, and is fully galvanically isolated to prevent dangerous ground loops. Data transfers at up to 230,400 baud with support for fast heading at 10Hz. Used as a PC interface, the NGX-1 acts as a rule-enforcing firewall between the computer and the network, giving full control of the data that passes to and from the bus.

Housed in a rugged IP67 polycarbonate case and fully NMEA 2000 certified, the NGX-1 works with the free Actisense NMEA Reader diagnostic software and is configured through Actisense Toolkit. It carries the largest conversion library of any Actisense gateway, including AIS.

What is the difference between the NGX-1-USB and NGX-1-ISO?
Both are the same dual gateway. The NGX-1-USB has a moulded Type A USB cable for plug-and-play connection to a PC or Mac and is fully galvanically isolated to prevent ground loops. The NGX-1-ISO instead has a bare-wire ISO cable for connecting to an NMEA 0183 device or serial port. Choose the USB version for straightforward PC connectivity.
Does the NGX-1 replace the older NGT-1 and NGW-1?
Yes. The NGX-1 combines the functions of both earlier products into one device. It can operate as an NMEA 2000 to PC interface like the NGT-1, or as a bi-directional NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000 conversion gateway like the NGW-1, and carries the largest conversion library of any Actisense gateway.
Which PC applications work with the NGX-1-USB?
The NGX-1 interfaces with a wide range of PC chartplotter and navigation applications, such as TimeZero over NMEA 2000 and OpenCPN over NMEA 0183. When used as a PC interface it acts as a rule-enforcing firewall between the computer and the NMEA 2000 bus.
