Multifunction display capability, featuring ECDIS, Conning Information Display, Radar/Chart Radar* and Alert Management System**
* Radar sensor needs to be integrated in the network.
** Radar and Alert Management System display capabilities are to be implemented as software upgrade. (option)
Sensor adapter facilitates installation and maintenance
The sensor adapters act as central medium to gather all the sensor data and collectively feed it to ECDIS and Chart Radar in the system. Since the sensor adapters can be extended to cover all the sensors within the system, individual cablings in the sensor-to-ECDIS/Radar interface can be greatly reduced.
Navigation sensors can be directly interfaced with the ECDIS processor’s 8 serial I/O ports.
Sensor adapters are required under the following conditions

The sensor data is to be shared amongst multiple networked ECDIS and Radar systems.
The number of sensors interfaced is more than the number of the ports the processor has (8 serial I/O ports, 1 digital IN and 6 digital OUT), and/or
The networked sensors include analog sensors.
In order to integrate onboard sensors into the navigation network, the sensor adapter may be interfaced with the inteligent hub HUB-3000 from which distribution of the sensor data throughout the network is possible.
Alternatively, multiple sensor adapters may be interfaced via Ethernet to integrate onboard sensors for use in the shipboard network.
