| BENEFITS |
| Flexible configuration options to buffer autoswitch or combine NMEA data |
| ISO-Drive separates the Listener from the Talker to protect both the PRO-BUF and each connected device. |
| Fast bi-directional data connection to a monitor and control software application |
| PRO-BUF can be configured using any web browser on any Operating system |
| Works out-of-the-box without configuration for basic installations, or can be easily user configured as required |
| Relay output is compatible with on-board alarm systems and NMEA Alarm sentence can be displayed and actioned on an MFD |
| Easy to access via network, doesn’t require the device to be moved or have a serial connection to the PC. |
| Quick visual check gives the user confidence that each input and output is passing data |
| Features can be utilised to fine tune data, avoiding data overloads on the outputs and connected listeners |
| Allows automatic data priority selection between two devices of the same type of data (e.g. GPS) |
| Shows the NMEA 0183 on each I/O Port, and how frequently it arrives, great for low level diagnostics |
| Allows use on large vessel 24V DC power supplies systems |
| Additional features in future firmware revisions are accessed using a simple update process via Actisense Toolkit over Ethernet |
| Fast installations and supports both screw and screwless terminal types. Ideal for quick diagnostic swapping |
| Increased durability, ease of installation and high performance |
| Can be installed on vessels governed by Class Society Rules |
