The 3155 NMEA2000 to Modbus Gateway
provides a powerful solution to convert NMEA2000
messages from engines, tank senders, generators, AC
monitors, battery banks, battery chargers and
control switches to the Modbus RS485 format.
Large yacht monitoring systems use the Modbus RS485
standard to communicate with PLCs and sensors on
board to control and monitor on board systems such
as tank levels, pump, ventilators, lighting, alarms
and other equipment.
Marine equipment manufacturers are increasingly
using the NMEA2000 interface to output data from
engines, generators, tank senders, battery chargers
and other equipment. The 3155 NMEA2000 to Modbus
Gateway provides the perfect link from these device
interfaces to the long established Modbus based
systems. The Gateway is designed to be DIN rail
mounted is a suitable location conveniently
positioned to connect by a single cable to the
NMEA2000 network and a single RS485 cable to the
Modbus system.
With this Gateway the Modbus system can simply
interrogate the NMEA2000 data from the attached
devices and even control up to 8 banks of 28
switches/relays to control on board facilities.
It comes with a detailed User Manual that identifies
what NMEA2000 data is available, it’s content, the
data format and the data range with the Modbus
address to read or control that data.
The 3155 is simple. powerful, reliable and very easy
to use.
