iKonvert - NMEA2000 to NMEA0183 Converter (ISO)

The iKonvert NMEA 2000 to NMEA 0183 Gateway/Converter is a versatile and intelligent device that serves as a gateway between NMEA2000 and NMEA0183 equipment. It enables seamless communication between new NMEA2000 devices and older NMEA0183 equipment. The conversions are bidirectional, allowing you to transfer data from older NMEA0183 sensors to your NMEA2000 network. Additionally, if you have a new NMEA2000-only MFD and wish to send GPS and Navigation data to your older NMEA0183 VHF and Autopilot, the iKonvert can efficiently perform the necessary data conversions.

Practical uses may involve linking various types of equipment from different brands, among other possibilities. iKonvert was created to cater to a wide range of scenarios. To facilitate this, we have incorporated a straightforward yet efficient mode selection process using DIP switches located inside iKonvert. By unscrewing two screws, opening the iKonvert enclosure, and using a small screwdriver, you can choose the desired mode. Upon the next power-up, iKonvert will automatically execute the conversions you have specified.

A number of modes already defined include; Heading, Sounder, AIS, GPS, Wind, Instruments and an all data gateway mode. This automatically sets the conversions to be done and the baud rate iKonvert will use. Furthermore, if you need a mode that we have not defined yet, just let us know and we will consider including it.

The iKonvert Gateway is compact and its housing is easy to mount. It features an integral NMEA0183 cable and standard NMEA2000 Micro drop cable (male). In addition, it takes its power from the NMEA2000 network. It also provides full galvanic isolation between the NMEA0183 and NMEA2000 networks. Hence, iKonvert is the perfect solution for all NMEA conversions.
