It works in conjunction with main navigation processors such as the Triton™ Edge™, Hercules® or Hercules® WTP, enabling the integration of a wide range of analog and serial sensors for comprehensive performance analysis, whether in regattas or high-performance cruising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMassive expansion of input\/output capabilities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis module adds specialized connectivity to your navigation hub. It features \u003cstrong\u003e9 analog 12-bit channels\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e3 pulse channels\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e2 bidirectional serial ports (NMEA 0183 compatible)\u003c\/strong\u003e. This setup allows connection of non-NMEA 2000 sensors such as load cells, custom angle sensors, existing analog instruments or other serial devices. Connection to the main processor is via one of two 100BASE-T Ethernet ports, ensuring stable, high-speed data transfer. For safety, it also includes 2 configurable alarm outputs and a dedicated input for a \"Man Overboard\" (MOB) button.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProfessional integration and configuration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hercules® Expansion Processor seamlessly integrates into the B\u0026G ecosystem. Collected data is centralized by the main processor and broadcast across the network for display on Triton™ 2, H5000, Nemesis™ displays, HV instruments, and Vulcan™ and Zeus® chartplotters. Input configuration, sensor calibration and data management are handled via an intuitive web interface, accessible via Ethernet from a computer or through the B\u0026G app. Software updates are installed simply via the microSD™ card slot (up to 256 GB, FAT32 format).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for the marine environment, the enclosure is waterproof to IPX6 and IPX7 standards. It operates on 12V or 24V DC power (9.0 to 31.2 V DC range), with a maximum consumption of 19 W at 13.8 V (3A fuse recommended). Operating temperature range is from -15 °C to +55 °C. The unit weighs 0.70 kg and includes full connectivity: 2 Ethernet ports (RJ45), 2 NMEA 0183 serial ports, 9 analog inputs, 3 pulse inputs, 2 alarm outputs and a microSD™ port.","brand":"B\u0026G","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53723767898452,"sku":"000-15137-001","price":1878.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/main_9641128a-9e51-4f24-a3e4-658bd2f76441.png?v=1772631770","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/en-us\/products\/b-g-hercules-expansion-processor","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
