| Description: Albatross On Board Module
ALBA-ENGINE - NMEA 2000
Engine Monitoring Interface for Engines without a Digital Interface
The Albatross Alba-Engine module
transforms data from analogue monitoring sensors to the digital format NMEA 2000
in order to display it locally or remotely. The wide catalogue of sensors which
are compatible with the Albatross modules makes possible a scalable and tailored
solution for each vessel.
Alba-Engine monitors RPM, oil and
boost pressure, coolant and oil temperature and alternate voltage by translating
the measurements into the NMEA 2000 communication protocol.
The RPM measurement is made through
the W signal of the alternator or by means of the impulses generated by a
magnetic sensor. Standardized resistive sensors measure pressures and
temperatures. Alba-Engine is directly connected to the alternator voltage.
