Applications

  • Radar Systems (antenna azimuth)
  • Navigation Systems (gyrocompass, speedlog, course, pitch, and roll)
  • Industrial Processes (position, velocity)
  • Meteorology Instruments (wind speed and direction)
  • Many Others

The BBG-2000 is a stand alone system which interfaces to several types of analog and digital inputs and outputs (I/O). An onboard microcontroller controls the processing of these signals to provide conversion to user requested outputs. An optional LCD display enables display of raw or converted data.Serial data interfaces use the standard National Marine Electronics Association(NMEA) message formats NMEA-0183 as shown below. This I/O is available in RS-232, RS-422, RS-423, RS-485, or MIL-STD-188C protocols. Standard output update rate is once per second. Custom serial data formats and frequencies are available upon request.

During power up or reset, an onboard microcontroller reads the configuration switch, configures the interface card, and provides all signals and controls necessary to read the desired interface, process and display the data, and output the converted information.
