Proširenje H5000 serijskim priključkom

The H5000 Serial Expansion module is designed to extend the capabilities of your B&G H5000 instrumentation system. It serves as an interface to connect external navigation devices that communicate via serial protocols, such as NMEA 0183, thus enabling the integration of older or third-party equipment 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 providing analog signals (for example, older temperature or pressure sensors).

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

You can connect a wide range of devices communicating over 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 to protect the module. 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 Series Extension module has an IP66 ingress protection rating, providing high protection against dust and powerful water jets, making it suitable for marine environments.

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

The module features two bidirectional serial ports that support multiple standards, including:

NMEA 0183

The typical power consumption of the module 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 transmits them onto the H5000 system’s NMEA 2000 network, allowing you to centralize 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 safe distance of at least 0.3 meters (1 foot) from a magnetic compass to avoid any 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).

The 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. This is a standard value used to calculate the total consumption of your network to ensure the power supply is sufficient.
