Product Description
The Rutter RUT-02395 Data Management Module is a marine data interface and processing unit used to centralize, convert, and distribute navigation, sensor, and control data on board vessels. It is typically installed as part of an integrated bridge system (IBS) or navigation network where multiple sensors and systems must communicate and share information reliably.
The module acts as a gateway and protocol converter, allowing data from various marine instruments (GPS, gyrocompass, log, echo sounder, autopilot, radar, AIS, etc.) to be consolidated and routed to multiple consumers (ECS, ECDIS, displays, autopilots, GMDSS, etc.) over standard maritime data networks such as NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000, and Ethernet.
Technical Specification
Typical Capabilities
While Rutter does not publicly publish a full datasheet for RUT-02395, modules in this family generally include the following functionality:
Data Interfaces
-
NMEA 0183 Ports — Multiple bi-directional RS-422/RS-485 interfaces for legacy sensors
-
NMEA 2000 Gateway — Connects to CAN-bus marine data networks
-
