CANbus Engine Data Converter

The Engine Data Converter converts tachometer signals and analog gauge voltages from virtually any engine into CANbus digital messages (NMEA 2000). It is configurable for either single or dual engine installations and includes a USB PC interface for initial configuration, data monitoring, and software updates. Output messages are applied to the CANbus for display by compatible devices.

The unit is designed for versatile interfacing to almost any type of analog engine sensor or gauge commonly used on marine or automotive engines. it has six analog (gauge) inputs and siz digirtal 5 v inputs
or 12 digital 5v inputs supports both 12 and 24 volt systems. The analog inputs can be assigned all to one engine or be split between two engines. Multiple units can be installed on the same CANbus.
The unit can be used with existing analog gauges or as a replacement for them.
Current sources within the unit will power resistive sending units where gauges have been removed or new senders(without gauges) have been added.

Translate analogue signals from all over the boat to an NMEA2000 ®

The new AlbaCombi is a second generation device, built following our successful Alba line of converters, that translate analogue signals from all over the boat to an NMEA2000 bus. The AlbaCombi can be used to get engine data, tank levels, alarm status, generic pressure and temperature indications from any 4-20mA sensor.

Monitor all boat parameters anytime anywhere
With AlbaCombi you can monitor engine data, tank levels, alarm status, generic pressure and temperature not only from any multifunction display but also from any smartphone or personal device with an Internet connection.
Customize your monitoring interface
The Alba-Combi has an embedded monitoring web server that will allow to create a full monitoring display with analogue or digital gauges to be displayed in PC, Mac, iOS or Android devices. Whether it’s

Powerful
With the AlbaCombi you get twelve 0V to 32V inputs that can be used for anything from reading voltages of batteries to interfacing with any analogue gauges. Six channels can be configured to measure resistance from any industry standard engine sensor. Also there are two RPM inputs, one PTC temperature input, one shunt and two relay outputs.

Configuration and setup from PC and without any calibration tools
The AlbaCombi has an Ethernet port that will allow web based calibration. Just connect your laptop to the AlbaCombi via Ethernet and you will get to the calibration and testing page. No calibration tools or special interfaces are required. This device is future proof and can be upgraded in the field via its Ethernet port.

Customize your monitoring interface
The Alba-Combi has an embedded monitoring web server that will allow to create a full monitoring display with analogue or digital gauges to be displayed in PC, Mac, iOS or Android devices. Whether it’s onboard via WiFi or ashore via an Internet connection, you can see what is happening aboard your vessel.

Precise
All twelve resistance and voltage channels have comprehensive calibration that allow you to create an 8 point calibration table or select a predefined industry standard calibration table for most common sensors and gauges.

Versatile
The AlbaCombi can be used to get engine data, tank levels, generic pressure and temperature from any resistive, voltage or 4-20mA sensor (additional resistor needed)

Capable
Satisfy the most demanding applications. The isolated NMEA2000 port will feed all the converted data into a NMEA2000 and raymarine STNg network.
