Expansion modules
There are two types of Expansion module, Analog and Serial. The modules act as the interface
between analog sensors, serial devices and other in and outputs to and from the CPU.
The correct module must be used in conjunction with its corresponding sensors. All modules
are powered from the network and can supply power to the sensors connected.
Analog
The analog module has 6 analog inputs and 2 pulse inputs. This allows the unit to act as an
interface for masthead units, speed sensor, analog rate-gyros, potentiometer etc.
Serial
The serial module has 2 COM ports, each with input & output. The modules support RS232,
RS422, RS485 and NMEA 0183 devices.
Modules can be located wherever is most convenient for the installer and can connect
anywhere on the network.
