<p><strong>PRO NMEA 0183 Buffer - 2 OPTO Inputs, 12 ISO-Drive Outputs, Serial Port, Ethernet Port, Pluggable Screw Terminal</strong></p><p id="isPasted">Two OPTO-isolated inputs and twelve ISO-Drive™ isolated outputs. Offering device protection and excellent flexibility, all in one product - the Actisense® PRO-BUF-2, the intelligent, type-approved PRO range buffer.</p><p>The PRO-BUF-2 is rugged, with a stainless steel housing, and provides isolation on all inputs and outputs. With two NMEA 0183 inputs, twelve NMEA 0183 outputs, a bi-directional serial port, and an Ethernet port, the PRO-BUF-2 is a perfect solution for larger leisure vessels, commercial shipping, and is a great addition for systems that require type-approved devices.</p><p>The PRO-BUF-2 is designed to suit the majority of NMEA 0183 systems and is ready to go ‘out of the box’ by simply hard-wiring the two-mode inputs as required.</p><p id="isPasted">The Intelligent NMEA 0183 Buffer's manually configurable basic modes of operation include variations of buffer modes, intelligent auto-switch, and combine modes.</p><p>For all other configurations, leaving the mode inputs floating selects the ‘User Configuration Mode’. The web-based configuration tool allows full customisation of the PRO-BUF-2, and is compatible across all popular Operating Systems. Using the web-based configuration tool allows for fine-tuning of the data available on each output.</p><p>To make installation quick and simple, the PRO-BUF-2 features 2-part pluggable connectors that allow the use of screw terminals*, and a professional DIN Rail mounting system (DIN Rail not included). The device can also be mounted directly to the bulkhead.</p><p>Helpful LEDs indicate power, data in, data out, and the alarm status to aid diagnostics.</p><p>Data statistics and load indication via the web tool provide a real-time view of data.</p><p><strong>Features:</strong></p><ul><li id="isPasted">2 Opto-Isolated inputs</li><li>12 ISO-Drive NMEA 0183 outputs</li><li>Ethernet Port</li><li>Flexible operating modes</li><li>Automatic Baud Rate matching on inputs</li><li>Alarm output options</li><li>Web-based configuration tool</li><li>Diagnostic LEDs</li><li>Advanced Data Filtering and Routing</li><li>2 virtual Autoswitch modules</li><li>Data statistics and load indication via a web tool</li><li>Designed for a 12 / 24 Volt supply</li><li>Future-proofing with easily upgradable firmware</li><li>2-part pluggable connector system</li><li>Stainless Steel Housing with DIN rail mount option</li><li>Type Approved</li><li id="isPasted">Flexible configuration options to buffer autoswitch or combine NMEA data</li><li>ISO-Drive separates the Listener from the Talker to protect both the PRO-BUF and each connected device.</li><li>Fast bi-directional data connection to a monitor and control software application</li><li>PRO-BUF can be configured using any web browser on any Operating system</li><li>Works out-of-the-box without configuration for basic installations, or can be easily user-configured as required</li><li>Relay output is compatible with on-board alarm systems, and the NMEA Alarm sentence can be displayed and actioned on an MFD</li><li>Easy to access via network, doesn’t require the device to be moved or have a serial connection to the PC.</li><li>A quick visual check gives the user confidence that each input and output is passing data</li><li>Features can be utilised to fine-tune data, avoiding data overloads on the outputs and connected listeners</li><li>Allows automatic data priority selection between two devices of the same type of data (e.g., GPS)</li><li>Shows the NMEA 0183 on each I/O Port, and how frequently it arrives, great for low-level diagnostics</li><li>Allows use on large vessel 24V DC power supply systems</li><li>Additional features in future firmware revisions are accessed using a simple update process via Actisense Toolkit over Ethernet</li><li>Fast installations and supports both screw and screwless terminal types.
