System configuration
IEC61162-450 (Lightweight Ethernet) Infrastructure
Contrary to most other systems on the market, Netwave’s NW-6000 VDR system architecture is unique in the fact that the various components throughout the ship are interconnected by means of one single Ethernet cable, both Power and Data are provided over this very same single cable, eliminating the need for extensive and complex, and therefore costly, cabling requirements. Compared to other VDR systems, cabling costs are typically reduced by 50{4da36bcbe167e387e9aa5a54ebb05b69b2aee799d82e7b268e6a4fe6b2a8942f}! The standard VDR and (S)VDR systems consist of the following components:

NW6860-1000 Fixed capsule for VDR & S-VDR
Netwave has originally developed and is manufacturing its own ‘fixed’ capsules for over 10 years now. The capsule is still unique in the marketplace today in the sense that in spite of the integration of the Central Processing Unit and Data Storage Server onto a single chip within the armored stainless steel capsule, this autonomous system is run from a single Ethernet cable leading to the compass deck. The capsule contains 48 hours of data.
Netwave capsules are not only deployed in conjunction with a Netwave VDR system but also the FRM of choice used by other VDR manufacturers. Netwave’s capsules are the only capsules in the market completely made from A316 grade stainless steel. As per the supply standard, this ‘fixed’ Final Recording medium is fitted with Netwave’s Underwater Locator Beacon compliant to the SAE8045AS standard

NetWave NW-64xx Data Acquisition Uni
The NW-6400 Bus-coupler is a DIN-rail mounted interface unit which provides a gateway between the Core Module and the serial, digital and/or analogue adaptors placed adjacent to the same Bus-coupler. The Bus-coupler is connected through a backplane strip for power and data exchange to the adaptors. The Bus-coupler provides a 24V DC (provided by PoE) for dry contacts to be sensed by the digital adaptor, to overcome additional power sourcing requirements or galvanic isolation. It also provides a primary Serial interface (up to 38K4) for connected NMEA concentrators or multipliers above 4K8.
Interfacing with all different types of interconnections such as:
- NMEA (NW642xx) available in different modules/ configurations: 8, 16 and 24 channels
- Digital (NW643xx) available in different modules/ configurations: 8, 16 and 24 channels
- Analogue (NW644xx) available in different modules/ configurations: 4, 8 and 12 channels
- Any special protocol like Canbus etc.
- Scope can be adjusted by adding adaptors as per above standard adaptors
- PoE connection to the Core Module
- Dimensions:
W, H, D, WT: 436 x 182 x 232 mm WT: 4.80 KG
NetWave NW-6060 VHF / Audio Interface NW 6022
The audio-interface serves two combined functions:
- As a VHF (line-in) interface for up to two VHF installations.
- As a power converter for the microphones.
Function 1: Audio (line-in) VHF interface
This primary function serves to gather audio (line-in) information from the VHF communications equipment.
Function 2: Power conversion for Bridge Audio (microphones)
This secondary function converts (from Power over Ethernet, being 48 V) to 24 VDC to power the microphones while maintaining data transparency between the microphones and the Core Module.
