CZone Network Bridge Interface Quick Manual

• Provides power isolation between two independent

CAN networks:

- Allows one bus to be powered off while the other remains

operational, (power saving i.e. drop out electronics over

night 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 long

networks i.e. install NBI in centre of bus and connect power

supplies either side (at midpoint of each network)

• Allows NMEA 2000 and proprietary messages to pass between

two independent CAN networks

• Filters and stops any corrupt NMEA messages from passing from

one network to the other

• Can be used to expand a network when the node limit maximum

has been reached (a node is a device connected to and operating

on the NMEA 2000 network) – When the 40 node limit has been

reached (or bus load is too great) a NBI can be fi tted to allow a

further 40 nodes to be added to the network

• Should one bus “lock up” the NBI will prevent the second bus from

becoming corrupted ie protects mission critical control network

from becoming corrupted by any faults on the secondary monitor-

ing network

• LED repeater on case for network status reporting

• Dimensions L69mm x W69mm H50mm (L2.75” x W2.75” x H2”)
