Digital Yacht iKonvert NMEA 2000/0183 Gateway Converter with USB
Dgital Yacht DIGIKVTUSB NMEA2000 Gateway/Converter
Model: ZDIGIKVTUSB
The iKonvert NMEA2000-0183 Gateway/Converter is an intelligent and flexible gateway for allowing software applications to read/write NMEA2000 data, either as RAW binary PGN data for ultimate analysis and control or converted to the older and more commonly supported NMEA0183 data.
Every popular Marine Navigation application that runs on PC/MAC/LINUX computers, can read NMEA0183 data and for all of those programs, iKonvert provides a simple, reliable and cost effective way to access the navigation data on an NMEA2000 network. Simply set the DIP switches inside iKonvert to the required data mode that you want to use and iKonvert will extract the selected data from the NMEA2000 network and provide them to your marine application in a format and at a baud rate they support.
For developers creating new applications or who know how to decode NMEA2000 PGNs, iKonvert can be easily set to its "RAW Mode" where data can be read/written to using a simple serial data format that we publish on our iKonvert Github site. No special libraries or proprietary code are required to integrate iKonvert, which has attracted the interest of a number of developers and it is already compatible with CanBoat and the popular Signal K Node Server.
Digital Yacht's iKonvert Gateway is housed in a compact and easy to mount housing, with an integral USB cable and standard NMEA2000 Micro drop cable (male). Taking its power from the NMEA2000 network, and providing full galvanic isolation between the USB interface and NMEA2000 network, iKonvert operates at a baud rate of 230KB in "RAW mode" and 4.8KB, 38.4KB or 115KB in NMEA0183 conversion modes. All modes can be simply selected using the internal DIP switches with no special configuration software or firmware changes required.
iKonvert's USB interface features an FTDI chip that has the most reliable and compatible USB drivers for all of the popular operating systems (Windows/Mac/LINUX/Android), whilst an ISO Version of iKonvert will soon be released for direct connection between NMEA2000 and NMEA0183 systems.
The Digital Yacht iKonvert offers a powerful solution for connecting NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 marine networks. This converter ensures smooth data transfer between the two protocols, enabling marine devices to communicate effortlessly. By bridging these traditional and modern communication standards, it supports compatibility across a wide range of instruments, sensors, and chart plotters. Whether upgrading existing equipment or integrating new systems, the Digital Yacht iKonvert eliminates the hassle of incompatible marine data formats for a more efficient marine electronics network.
One of the standout features of the Digital Yacht iKonvert is its USB port, providing a simple, plug-and-play connection to laptops and PCs. This enables users to configure and monitor network traffic in real time using intuitive software tools. The USB interface also allows rapid firmware updates to keep the converter up-to-date with the latest protocols and improvements. This ease of use makes the Digital Yacht iKonvert ideal for both professionals and hobbyists who demand reliable and flexible marine data integration.
Built to withstand harsh marine environments, the Digital Yacht iKonvert is housed in a rugged enclosure designed for durability and long-lasting performance. It supports a wide range of popular NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 devices, making it suitable for use on boats of all sizes and types. The converter simplifies complex wiring setups and reduces installation time. With its robust design and versatile compatibility, the Digital Yacht iKonvert is the go-to device for modernizing marine communication systems while ensuring reliable performance at sea.
