Digital Yacht iKonvert NMEA2000 to USB Gateway, Bi-Directional Converter

Seamlessly bridge your marine navigation systems with the Digital Yacht iKonvert USB Gateway, an intelligent and flexible solution for integrating NMEA2000 networks with your computer. This bi-directional converter allows software applications to efficiently read and write NMEA2000 data, either as raw binary PGN data for advanced analysis or converted to the widely supported NMEA0183 format. Powering directly from your NMEA2000 network, the iKonvert ensures reliable data flow and system longevity through full galvanic isolation. Enhance your vessel's electronic capabilities and optimize data exchange across all your devices today.

In the Box:

• Digital Yacht iKonvert Gateway Unit
• Integral USB Type A Cable (approx. 0.75m)
• Integral NMEA2000 Micro Drop Cable (Male, approx. 1m)

Key Benefits & Features:

• Bi-Directional Conversion: Enables communication between new NMEA2000 equipment and legacy NMEA0183 devices, supporting both data input and output.
• NMEA2000 Network Powered: Draws power directly from the NMEA2000 network, simplifying installation and eliminating the need for an external power supply.
• High-Speed USB 2.0 Interface: Features a reliable FTDI chip for stable and compatible USB drivers across Windows, macOS, LINUX, and Android operating systems.
• Flexible Data Modes: User-configurable via internal DIP switches to operate in various NMEA0183 conversion modes (4.8KB, 38.4KB, 115KB baud rates) or a 230KB 'Raw Mode' for binary PGN data.
• Full Galvanic Isolation: Provides complete electrical isolation between the USB and NMEA2000 interfaces, protecting your electronics from ground loops and electrical interference.
• Developer-Friendly: Supports 'Raw Mode' for developers to read/write NMEA2000 PGNs using a simple serial data format, compatible with projects like CanBoat and Signal K Node Server.
