About the NSE:
The NSE has a highly scalable system architecture. A system can consist of a basic stand alone chart plotter, or expand to a networked, multi-display system connected to a wide range of accessories. This unit uses a different backlighting composed of LEDs instead of the traditional CFL lights built into most LCD displays on the market today. The system architecture is modular with a wide range of peripherals and accessories that can be connected to SimNet or NMEA2000 devices such as instrument systems, AIS, GPS and heading sensor to Ethernet devices such as Radar and Echosounder. For multi display installations the system can be set up to be truly masterless, i.e. have no dependency on other displays being powered on.
A NSE display can connect to other devices in the system by Ethernet, SimNet /NMEA2000 or NMEA0183.
A system can have:
between one and six displays, The displays can be any mix of NSE8 and NSE12
• one radar only
• one echosounder only
Networking, Data Interfacing
The NSE system can use three data networks. SimNet (NMEA2000), Ethernet and NMEA0183.
1.) Power port
2.) Video in port. Supplied cable provides two composite video inputs and one RS422 port for NMEA 0183 input/output.
3.) Simnet/Nmea 2000
4.) Video out (DVI-I)
5.) 3 Ethernet network ports (Simrad’s proprietary connectors)
6.) Usb port. Used for Software updates, chart data base updates, backing up waypoints routes and tracks. A better option to the front port if it is exposed to
the weather. Note. A Water proof optional USB cable is available to extend this port to a dry location.
