MConnect is an advanced NMEA2000 certified web server that collects real-time data from your onboard devices and displays it in customisable, modern graphical user interfaces. The system connects directly to your vessel's NMEA2000 network and displays information on over 400 different sensor and system values, such as engine and battery data, tank levels, navigation or weather parameters.
System architecture
The on-board data is provided via an HTML5-based user interface. This is accessed via a normal web browser. No separate client or software is required. It can be accessed via Ethernet or WLAN. Up to 4 users can access the web browser simultaneously.
Interfaces
The MConnect WebServer reads standardised NMEA2000 PGNs and can be connected to two independent NMEA2000 networks. Over 400 NMEA2000 data points can be read out and displayed. These include engine and battery data, tank levels, navigation or weather and environmental parameters.
In addition, the transmission of certain control PGns is also supported, e.g. for controlling compatible digital switching systems.
Visualisation and operation
The collected real-time data can be visualised in customisable displays. Ready-made layouts are available, but you can also create completely customised displays. Various display formats are available, such as diagrams, value fields or status displays. Colour distinctions and symbols show you immediately if there are deviating values or errors.
Areas of application
As MConnect works via an HTML5-based user interface, it can be easily used with different end devices, such as tablets, smartphones, PCs or compatible multifunction displays from various brands such as:
Garmin, Raymarine, Navico/Simrad, Furuno and others. Simple implementation in existing on-board networks.
