{"product_id":"garmin-empirbus-mcu-v2","title":"Garmin EmpirBus MCU v2","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe MCU device, which allows you to control and monitor all on-board electronic systems from your Garmin plotter or a compatible third-party display, is an essential component of larger-sized digital control installations. It is the central processor that controls the system and provides computing power, intelligence and decision-making functions, in addition to coordination between the distribution control modules (DCM) of the system, including the NXT™ DCM and Connect 50™ DCM units from EmpirBus.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn addition, there are several interfaces for connecting to external devices. The updated MCU v.2 device has two auxiliary CAN ports and two galvanically insulated RS485 ports that can be configured for additional third-party integrations in parallel.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe MCU device communicates with all other components of the system through the NMEA 2000® network. The configuration files for installation are stored on the MCU device, so if a DC module is damaged, it is simply replaced: the MCU will take care of programming it. Although the MCU device is designed to support more complex and larger switching systems, in smaller systems one of the Connect 50 units or other DCM units can be configured to act as the main control of the system.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable style=\"height: 624px;\" width=\"857\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eMisc\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003ctable style=\"height: 359px;\" width=\"721\"\u003e \u003ccolgroup\u003e \u003ccol width=\"33%\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"67%\"\u003e \u003c\/colgroup\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eDimensions (An. x Al. x Pr.)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e17,3 X 8,9 X 3,25 mm (6,8″ X 3,5″ X 1,8″)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e200 g (7,1 oz)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCommunication\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eNetwork CAN-bus NMEA 2000® (LEN-4)\u003cbr\u003e 2 auxiliary CAN ports\u003cbr\u003e 2 auxiliary RS485 ports\u003cbr\u003e 1 9-32 V digital input\u003cbr\u003e 2 digital outputs of 100 mA\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eClassification of the water in the box\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eIP65\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eAmbient temperature\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eDe -20 °C a 55 °C\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eElectric power\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eFeeding through NMEA 2000\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eEnergy consumption\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eMáX.\/media: 195 mA a 9 voltios\/165 mA a 9 voltios\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eFeeding voltage\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003ePower voltage: 9-32 volts of DC\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch4\u003eConector\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ccolgroup\u003e \u003ccol width=\"33%\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"67%\"\u003e \u003c\/colgroup\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eNMEA 2000\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eMicro 5-pin M12 male\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003ePC\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eMini-USB\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eDigital input\/exit, auxiliary CAN, auxiliary RS485\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eM12 of 12 male pins\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- sr-faq v=1 vendor=garmin source_sha256=d9c3a41971738fe5cd7922834fc72fa8e84e04755200b5db75c93979fdafa8c3 --\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sr-faq-wrap\" style=\"margin-top:4rem\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-box sr-faq-box\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-block\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"accordion faq-item\"\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary style=\"align-items:center\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"faq-block__heading\" style=\"flex:1 1 auto;margin:0;padding-right:2rem;font-size:1.5rem;font-weight:700\"\u003eShould additional fuses or breakers be used during installation?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csvg class=\"icon icon-filter-two\" width=\"12\" height=\"7\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 7\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M10 1.5L6 5.5L2 1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"square\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"faq-block__description\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnsure the power source is adequately protected by a properly rated fuse or automatic circuit breaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-block\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"accordion faq-item\"\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary style=\"align-items:center\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"faq-block__heading\" style=\"flex:1 1 auto;margin:0;padding-right:2rem;font-size:1.5rem;font-weight:700\"\u003eWhat maintenance is required for the MCU v2?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csvg class=\"icon icon-filter-two\" width=\"12\" height=\"7\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 7\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M10 1.5L6 5.5L2 1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"square\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"faq-block__description\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are no routine user maintenance tasks;
