Applications

Energy Underwater Vehicles Survey & Hydrographic

Simplify the interfacing of SeaKing or SeaPrince sensors with the Tritech Multicomm Intelligent Junction Box.

The Multicomm enables seamless connection to multiple SeaKing sensors, allowing communication with the Surface Control Unit (SCU) through the RS232 protocol. Additionally, the Multicomm offers the capability to function as a transparent interface, supporting communication via Tritech’s ARCNET protocol. This transparent interface also accommodates SeaPrince sensors, providing a convenient junction box solution for time-sensitive system installations.

In addition to interfacing with the complete range of SeaKing sensors, the Multicomm can accept a serial output from third-party sensors, such as gyros, through its Aux Port.

With its exceptional flexibility, the Multicomm junction box can be easily integrated into various system configurations, offering users a versatile solution for seamless sensor integration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Why does my device appear as UNKNOWN in Seanet Setup?

If your device shows UNKNOWN in Seanet Setup, it is typically due to an issue with the RS232 ground connection. To resolve this, please check for continuity on the copper sections between each end of the cable. In rare cases, if the issue persists, it may indicate that you have an RS485 device connected to an RS232 port.
