Industrial NMEA 2000 / NMEA 0183 to MQTT converters

This category includes industrial protocol converters operating in the NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 standards to MQTT. NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 communication protocols are widely used in industrial automation, particularly in marine and navigation systems, to build communication networks between electronic onboard instruments.

NMEA networks enable data exchange between devices such as GPS receivers, chart plotters, echo sounders, wind sensors, radars, engine monitoring systems and autopilots. Communication between these instruments allows, for example, automatic course correction by the autopilot based on GPS position data or environmental measurements.

An industrial NMEA 2000 / NMEA 0183 to MQTT converter enables integration of these traditional communication systems with modern IoT platforms, telemetry systems and cloud-based applications using the MQTT protocol. Data from the NMEA bus can be published to an MQTT broker, while MQTT messages can be used to control devices connected to the NMEA network.

Industrial protocol converters operating with MQTT

Converters communicating via the MQTT protocol and connecting NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 networks meet stringent industrial standards, allowing them to operate in very demanding environmental conditions. They are designed for applications requiring continuous and reliable operation.

These devices feature a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, resistance to electromagnetic interference and support for DIN-rail mounting. As a result, they are suitable for use on vessels, in offshore installations, as well as in land-based telemetry systems and specialized vehicles.

What are NMEA to MQTT converters used for?

The primary purpose of NMEA to MQTT converters is to provide remote access to navigation and measurement data generated by NMEA devices. This data can be used for fleet monitoring, engine performance analysis, voyage parameter visualization or long-term data archiving in supervisory systems.

Integrating NMEA with MQTT also enables data centralization from multiple vessels or distributed assets and real-time presentation of information in web applications and management platforms.

How to configure an NMEA 2000 / NMEA 0183 to MQTT converter?

Configuration of an industrial NMEA to MQTT converter is performed using free configuration software supplied with the device, which can be downloaded directly from our website. The configuration process does not require any modification to the existing NMEA installation.

During configuration, parameters such as mapping NMEA messages to MQTT topics, MQTT broker connection settings, data transmission direction and data filtering rules are defined. This allows the converter to be precisely adapted to the requirements of a specific application.
