Detailed description

Hercules® útvíkkunaröflunareining B&G er viðbótarmódúl sem hannaður er til að fjölfalda gagnasöfnunarkerfi B&G. Hún virkar með aðal öflunareiningum á borð við Triton™ Edge™, Hercules® eða Hercules® WTP og gerir kleift að tengja við margvíslegar analogar og raðtengdar skynjara til að framkvæma ítarlega frammistöðugreiningu, bæði í kappsiglingum og í háprestakreppu.

Mikil aukning á inntaks/úttaks möguleikum

Þessi módúl bætir við sérhæfða tengingar við stýrikerfið þitt. Hún er útbúin með 9 analogum 12-bita göngum, 3 púls-göngum og 2 gagnasamskiptagöngum (NMEA 0183 samhæfð). Þessi uppsetning gerir kleift að tengja við skynjara sem eru ekki NMEA 2000, svo sem kraftmæla (load cells), sérhannaða hornmæla, eldri analoga tæki eða önnur raðtengd tæki. Tenging við aðal öflunareininguna fer fram um einn af tveimur 100BASE-T Ethernet portum, sem tryggir stöðugt og hraðvirkt gagnasendingar. Til öryggis hefur hún einnig 2 stillanlegar viðvaranir og sérstakt inntak fyrir "Maður út af borð" (MOB) takka.

Atvinnuleg innlimun og stillingar

Hercules® útvíkkunaröflunareiningin tengist auðveldlega inn í B&G vistkerfið. Gögnin sem safnað er miðlað til aðal öflunareiningarinnar og dreift um allt netið til sýningar á Triton™ 2, H5000, Nemesis™ skjám, HV sýnishlutum og á kortateiknunum Vulcan™ og Zeus®. Stillanir á inntökum, stillingar skynjara og gagnastjórnun fara fram í gegnum vefviðmót sem er auðvelt í notkun og er aðgengilegt í gegnum Ethernet frá tölvu eða með B&G forritinu. Hugbúnaðaruppfærslur eru einfaldar og fara fram í gegnum microSD™ kortalás (upp að 256 GB, FAT32 sniði).

Tæknispecifikasjonar

Hönnuð fyrir sjávarumhverfi er kassinn vatnsheldur samkvæmt IPX6 og IPX7. Hann virkar á 12V eða 24V DC spennu (9,0 til 31,2 V DC), með hámarksorkunotkun upp á 19 W við 13,8 V (3A öryggisrofi mæltur). Starfshiti er frá -15 °C til +55 °C. Einingin vegur 0,70 kg og hefur fulla tengingar: 2 Ethernet portar (RJ45), 2 NMEA 0183 raðtengd göng, 9 analog göng, 3 púls göng, 2 viðvaragöng og einn microSD™ port.

Expert review

Pol CONIN

Digital Manager

« The analog and NMEA 0183 connectivity hub for B&G systems »

The Hercules® Expansion processor is the missing link for complex and customized B&G navigation installations. It is not a central processor, but a specialized data acquisition hub that bridges analog or serial sensors with the high-performance digital ecosystem of B&G. For racing sailboats or superyachts relying on data from load sensors, specific rudder angle sensors, or other non-NMEA 2000 instruments, this module is essential. Its strength lies in its input density: 9 analog, 3 pulse, and 2 NMEA 0183 ports. Dual Ethernet connectivity ensures fast and reliable data transfer to the central unit (Hercules® or Triton™ Edge), ensuring performance calculations are based on real-time data. Configuration via web interface greatly simplifies setup and calibration, a major asset for installers and preparators.

Frequently asked questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the Hercules® Expansion processor used for?

The Hercules® Expansion processor is an expansion module designed to increase the capabilities of your B&G navigation system. It does not operate independently but connects to a main processor (such as Triton™ Edge™ or Hercules®) to allow the connection of a larger number of sensors, including analog or serial sensors that are not NMEA 2000 compatible.

With which B&G main processors is this expansion module compatible?

The Hercules® Expansion processor is designed to operate in conjunction with the following B&G navigation processors:

Triton™ Edge™Hercules®Hercules® WTPIt connects to one of these processors via an Ethernet cable to extend their data acquisition capabilities.

What are the main connectivity options for this module?

The Hercules® Expansion processor provides extended connectivity for various sensors:

9 12-bit analog channels2 bidirectional NMEA 0183 serial ports2 Ethernet ports (100BASE-T) for connection to the main processor2 configurable alarm outputs1 input for Man Overboard (MOB) button

What power supply is required for the Hercules® Expansion processor?

The module is compatible with 12V or 24V DC electrical systems. The acceptable input voltage range is 9.0 to 31.2 V DC.

Can I connect NMEA 2000 sensors directly to the Hercules® Expansion?

No. Although the module has a physically present CAN port, the technical documentation specifies that this port is not used on the Hercules® Expansion. This module is specifically designed to integrate sensors via its analog inputs, pulse inputs, and NMEA 0183 serial ports.

How is the configuration of sensors connected to the module performed?

Configuration of inputs, calibration of sensors, and data management are performed via an intuitive web interface. This interface is accessible from a computer, tablet, or smartphone connected to the boat's Ethernet network, via the main navigation processor to which the Expansion module is connected.

What is the ingress protection rating of the Hercules® Expansion processor?

The Hercules® Expansion processor has an ingress protection rating of IPX6 and IPX7. This means it is protected against powerful water jets (IPX6) and temporary immersion in water (IPX7), allowing installation in demanding marine environments.

On which B&G displays can the collected data be shown?

Once the data is collected by the Hercules® Expansion and centralized by the main processor, it can be displayed across the entire B&G network, including on the following screens:

Triton™ 2 and H5000 displaysNemesis™ screensHV displaysVulcan™ and Zeus® chartplotters

How is the module's software updated?

Software updates are installed using a microSD™ card. Download the update file, transfer it to a microSD™ card (maximum size 256 GB, formatted as FAT32), then insert it into the dedicated port on the processor.

What temperature range can this module operate in?

The Hercules® Expansion processor is designed to operate within a temperature range of -15 °C to +55 °C (5 °F to 131 °F).

Can this module operate autonomously?

No, the Hercules® Expansion is not a standalone navigation processor. It is an expansion module that must be connected via Ethernet to a primary B&G processor (Triton™ Edge™, Hercules® or Hercules® WTP) to function.

What type of fuse should I use for the installation?

To protect the module’s power supply, use a 3 A fuse.

What is the power consumption of the device?

The maximum power consumption of the Hercules® Expansion processor is 19 Watts with a supply voltage of 12/24 V DC.

How does the expansion module connect to the main navigation processor?

The connection between the Hercules® Expansion processor and the main navigation processor (Triton™ Edge™, Hercules® or WTP) is made via a standard network cable using one of the two 100BASE-T Ethernet ports (RJ45) available on each device.

What types of sensors can I connect to the analog and pulse inputs?

These inputs allow you to integrate sensors that do not communicate over NMEA 2000. You can connect, for example:

Load sensors (load cells)Custom angle sensorsExisting analog instruments (wind, speed, temperature)Pulse-output sensors (paddlewheel speedo)

Does this module have built-in safety functions?

Yes, the Hercules® Expansion processor includes security features. It has two configurable alarm outputs (for buzzers or lights) and a dedicated input for an "Overboard" (MOB) button, allowing the system to trigger an alarm in case of emergency.

What is the weight of the processor?

The Hercules® Expansion processor weighs 0.70 kg (1.55 lb).

What are the characteristics of NMEA 0183 serial ports?

The module features 2 serial ports compatible with NMEA 0183. Default communication parameters are as follows:

Transfer speed: 38 400 baudData bits: 8Parity: NoneStop bits: 1

How to connect a Man Overboard (MOB) button?

The processor has a dedicated input for an MOB pushbutton. Connect the two wires of the button to the MOB send and MOB return terminals on the alarm connector to activate this safety feature.

Is the module compatible with sensors from brands other than B&G?

Yes. The Hercules® Expansion is specifically designed to integrate a variety of sensors. Any sensor with an output compatible with the module's inputs (analog, pulse, or NMEA 0183 serial) can be connected, regardless of brand, and then calibrated via the web interface.
