ShipModul MiniPlex-2S NMEA Multiplexer
The MiniPlex-2S NMEA Multiplexer from ShipModul is a professional solution for integrating multiple NMEA 0183 marine navigation instruments into a reliable and manageable onboard data network.
Designed for marine electronics installations where several NMEA devices need to exchange information, the MiniPlex-2S collects data from connected instruments and combines the information for distribution to other navigation equipment.
NMEA 0183 Marine Data Integration
The MiniPlex-2S can be used as part of an NMEA 0183 network incorporating equipment such as:
- GPS and GNSS receivers
- AIS equipment
- Autopilots
- Gyro and heading sensors
- Depth sounders
- Speed and log instruments
- Wind instruments
- Navigation displays
- Chartplotters
- Other compatible NMEA 0183 equipment
By combining multiple NMEA data sources, the multiplexer helps simplify onboard wiring and improves the organization of navigation data.
Intelligent NMEA Data Management
The MiniPlex-2S provides intelligent handling of NMEA data rather than simply combining incoming signals.
Its routing and filtering capabilities allow installers to control how NMEA sentences are distributed between connected devices. This can be particularly useful when several instruments transmit similar information or when specific data needs to be forwarded only to selected equipment.
Ideal for Marine Electronics Upgrades
The ShipModul MiniPlex-2S can be used for new installations as well as upgrades and modifications of existing NMEA 0183 navigation networks.
Typical applications include:
- Pleasure boats
- Sailing yachts
- Motor yachts
- Commercial vessels
- Workboats
- Navigation electronics retrofits
- NMEA 0183 network expansion
- Marine instrumentation integration
Professional NMEA Integration
Correct NMEA integration depends on the interfaces, communication requirements and existing equipment installed onboard.
For installations involving multiple navigation instruments or legacy marine electronics, professional configuration can help ensure reliable data communication.
