6 M6 System V1 Introduction and Presentation Introduction and Presentation Tip: Click Marport logo at the bottom of pages to come back to the table of contents. Introduction The M6 is the latest addition to Marport s acoustic receiver range. It has the same functions as the M4 system and is meant to replace it. It has also the latest advanced features of the Mx receivers: It works with the latest digital signal processing, combined with the smartest software available. You can receive up to 100 simultaneous data from sensors. This way, you can have a full coverage of data received from sensors to fully monitor the trawl. You can listen to 6 hydrophones simultaneously. Only data coming from the hydrophone delivering the best signal is interpreted. This way, you do not need an hydrophone selection switch, as often used in older types of receivers. Thanks to the numerous hydrophones, you can have a better reception of the sensors. You can receive data from standard sensors, net sounders and high-definition sensors at the same time. Data received can be displayed on echogram images that you can watch from the wheelhouse. The receiver can detect signals received even from a long transmission range. There is a large frequency range. This way, you have enough bandwidth to add multiple sensors. There are 2 NMEA and 4 NTC entries to receive hydrophones' temperature data. The M6 works with an Apple Mac pro and two Mx receivers. The computer processes the signal and displays on a screen data received. You can configure the sensors and display data to suit your needs. 6

From Assign IP Address dialog box: a) Enter the MAC address of the multiplexer (see label on topside of multiplexer). Fields must be separated by dashes. b) Enter a valid IP address. c) Click OK. 65

66 M6 System V1 Installation Configuring Inputs Wait for the update process to complete (approx. 10 sec.). 3. You can now have access to the multiplexer settings through Network Settings dialog box. You can configure the NMEA inputs of the multiplexer from MPX-Config3 software. NMEA devices are connected to the multiplexer. See NMEA Multiplexer Cabling on page 57 for guidance. Important: Close Scala if open: MPX-Config3 software uses UDP channel to transmit and receive commands to the MiniPlex multiplexer. This channel needs to remain exclusive during the configuration of the multiplexer. Important: ShipModul multiplexer cannot read NMEA messages longer than the standard maximum length (82 characters), nor other format messages longer than 61 characters, nor Marelec messages. Use another multiplexer if this is your case. You need to indicate the correct baud speed for each input so that the mulitplexer can extract data and diffuse it correctly through all outputs. NMEA0183 Example Device 1 is a heading sensor with GPS at 4800 bauds. Device 2 is a warp length sensor module at 9600 bauds. The multiplexer has to be set up the following way: As it is, the multiplexer will not output NMEA messages to Output 1 or 2. Only UDP output on port will be done. If Device 1 and Device 2 emit the same type of data (e.g. temperature, position), give them a talker ID like the following image, in order to distinguish data between the two of them when they are received by Scala. 66

67 M6 System V1 Installation The console will output the following messages: You can see the talker IDs AA and BB at the beginning of the NMEA sentences. On the multiplexer, the LED NMEA0183 blinks green. NMEA2000 Example Device 3 is a WeatherStation WX220 from Airmar on NMEA The multiplexer has to be set up the following way: The console will output the following messages: NMEA sentences from this device all begin by $CC. On the multiplexer, the LED NMEA2000 blinks green. 67

68 M6 System V1 Installation Other formats If your device outputs messages in other formats than NMEA, for example Rapp Marine or non-standard NMEA messages beginning from Input Mode, select Plain Text. If you do not select Plain Text, messages will not be received by the multiplexer. Note: Messages in plain text longer than 61 characters will not be received by the multiplexer. Configuring Scala You need to configure Scala software to receive and display the NMEA data received on the multiplexer. About this task Important: You cannot use Scala and configure the multiplexer on MPX-Config3 at the same time: MPX-Config3 software uses UDP channel to transmit and receive commands to the MiniPlex multiplexer. This channel needs to remain exclusive during the configuration of the multiplexer. Procedure 1. Open Scala. 2. From the top left corner of the screen, click menu > Settings. 3. From the tab NMEA Inputs, click Add. 4. Select UDP and enter as port. 5. Click OK. 68

69 M6 System V1 Installation 6. From the Sensor Data section of the control panels, under the tab NMEA, check the activity of data received. If you gave talker IDs to the devices you configured on MPX-Config3, you can see that each device is identified by its talker ID (AA, BB and CC). Note: You need to give talker IDs to devices sending the same type of data, so that Scala can distinguish them. 69
