Simrad CZONE™ N2K Network Bridge Interface-Designed to isolate sections of the NMEA 2000 network to decrease standby current draw. Can be used for Isolation when bridging between two CAN networks.
CZONE™ Network Bridge Interface is designed to isolate sections of the NMEA 2000 network to decrease standby current draw. Can be used for Isolation when bridging between two CAN networks, (eg connecting CZone to Simrad Simnet) or for expansion of the NMEA 2000 network, when the maximum node limit (node = any device connected to the NMEA 2000 network) for the network has been reached. Once a Bridge Interface has been fitted, a further 40 nodes can be added.
Features
Provides power isolation between two independentCAN networks:
Allows one bus to be powered off while the other remains operational, (power saving i.e. drop out electronics overnight but keep CZone bus running)
Allows two different power supplies to be used, i.e. CZone network run from Domestic batteries while connected to an Engine monitoring network which derives power from Engine battery supply
Can be used to assist with voltage drop issues on longnetworks i.e. install NBI in centre of bus and connectpower supplies either side (at midpoint of each network)
Allows NMEA 2000 and proprietary messages to pass betweentwo independent CAN networks
Filters and stops any corrupt NMEA messages from passingfrom one network to the other
Can be used to expand a network when the node limit maximumhas been reached (a node is a device connected to and operating on the NMEA 2000 network) – When the 40 node limit hasbeen reached (or bus load is too great) a NBI can be fitted toallow a further 40 nodes to be added to the network
Should one bus “lock up” the NBI will prevent the second busfrom becoming corrupted ie protects mission critical controlnetwork from becoming corrupted by any faults on the secondary monitoring network
LED repeater on case for network status reporting
