Rozšíření H5000 sériové

The H5000 Extension Series module is designed to expand the capabilities of your B&G H5000 instrumentation system. It serves as an interface to connect external navigation equipment communicating via serial protocols, such as NMEA 0183, enabling integration of older or third-party devices into your modern network.

The main difference lies in the type of data processed:

The Serial Extension (this product) handles digital data from devices communicating via serial protocols (NMEA 0183, RS232, RS422, RS485). The Analog Extension is designed to interface sensors that provide analog signals (e.g., older temperature or pressure sensors).

Yes, absolutely. The H5000 expansion module is equipped with an NMEA 2000 Micro-C network port for direct and simple integration into the main bus of your H5000 system.

You can connect a wide range of equipment communicating via serial, such as:

GPS sensorsGyrocompasses (e.g., B&G HGSC)Other heading sensorsVarious third-party or older instruments using the NMEA 0183 protocol

This module requires a 12V DC power supply. The acceptable operating range is 10 to 16V DC.

Yes, installing a fuse is required for module protection. You must use a 5A fuse.

The module is compact and lightweight. Its dimensions are 61 x 131 x 45 mm and it weighs 0.17 kg.

The H5000 Expansion Series module has an IP66 ingress protection rating, ensuring high resistance to dust and powerful water jets, making it suitable for marine environments.

Serial port configuration, including NMEA 0183 sentences, baud rate, and refresh rate, is performed via the H5000 processor's web interface in your system.

The module is equipped with two bidirectional serial ports that support multiple standards, including:

NMEA 0183

The module’s typical power consumption is very low, at 0.6W (50 mA at 12V).

The module is designed to operate within a temperature range from -10°C to +55°C.

Yes, this is one of its primary functions. It receives data from NMEA 0183 devices (and other serial formats) and forwards them onto the H5000 system’s NMEA 2000 network, enabling centralized access to all your navigation data.

The module has two bidirectional, configurable serial ports (COM) and one NMEA 2000 Micro-C network port.

During installation, you must maintain a minimum safety distance of 0.3 meters (1 foot) from a magnetic compass to avoid interference.

Yes, the module complies with IEC/EN 60945, ensuring robustness, reliability, and electromagnetic compatibility for use aboard a vessel.

This expansion module is specifically designed to integrate and operate with the B&G H5000 instrumentation system.

Yes, both serial ports (COM) on the module are bidirectional. This means they can be configured to receive data from a device (input) or to transmit data to a device (output).

Connection to the NMEA 2000 network is made via a standard Micro-C connector, ensuring perfect compatibility with the network's cables and connectors.

LEN stands for 'Load Equivalency Number'. A value of 1 LEN indicates the electrical load that the module represents on the NMEA 2000 network. It is a standard value used to calculate the total consumption of your network to ensure the power supply is sufficient.
