NMEA 2000 Digital Control Module for Marine Switching and Monitoring

Provides configurable DC power distribution, switching and monitoring for integrated marine electrical systems. Sixteen universal user-configurable bidirectional channels allow connected equipment and signals to be controlled or monitored, supporting applications such as lighting, dimming, windscreen wipers and other onboard electrical functions. Output channels feature electronic overcurrent protection, undercurrent detection, soft start and soft stop functionality, while compatible outputs can be paralleled where increased capacity is required. High-side and low-side switching provides additional installation flexibility, and analogue inputs support voltage, current and resistance monitoring depending on the selected model. NMEA 2000 connectivity enables integration with compatible vessel systems, while the compact IP65 polycarbonate enclosure supports installation in space-constrained marine environments.

Key Features

• 16 Configurable Channels: Provides 16 universal user-configurable bidirectional input/output channels for marine switching, control and monitoring.
• Digital Power Distribution: Controls onboard electrical loads without relying on conventional mechanical switching and relay arrangements.
• Electronic Circuit Protection: Output channels incorporate programmable electronic overcurrent protection and undercurrent detection.
• Soft Start and Stop: Supports controlled activation and deactivation of compatible loads to reduce abrupt electrical switching.
• Electronic Dimming: Compatible output channels can be electronically dimmed for applications such as onboard LED lighting.
• Wiper Control Capability: Compatible configurations can directly control windscreen wipers, including applications requiring low-side switching.
• Parallel Output Support: Compatible outputs can be paralleled where increased output capacity is required.
• Flexible Input Monitoring: Supports digital and analogue inputs for monitoring voltage, current and resistance depending on model configuration.
• NMEA 2000 Connectivity: Communicates through a CAN-bus NMEA 2000 network for integration with compatible marine systems.
• 12 V and 24 V Operation: Supports a 9–32 V DC supply range for use with common marine electrical systems.
• 100 A Maximum Current: Supports up to 100 A maximum power supply current.
• IP65 Enclosure: Polycarbonate housing provides IP65 ingress protection for marine installation environments.

Integrating switching, monitoring and circuit protection within a compact module reduces the hardware required for sophisticated onboard electrical control systems. Configurable channels and NMEA 2000 communication provide a flexible foundation for building customised vessel automation and power-distribution systems.
