M3 System | V2 | Introduction and Presentation

Introduction and PresentationTip: Click Marport logo at the bottom of pages to come back to the table ofcontents.

IntroductionAmong Marport’s receivers, the M3 is specifically designed for smaller vessels.

Marport M3 is designed as a highly sophisticated multi-function acoustic receiver.Although it is the most compact receiver from Marport, it uses leading edge digital signalprocessing that we have combined with the smartest software available. The aim is tomake possible multi-channel operation without any compromise between transmissionrange and signal detection.

The M3 works with an Apple Mac Mini computer, that processes the data from thesensors and displays them on your screen.

The M3 has a full range of capabilities:

• You can listen to 3 hydrophones simultaneously. Only data coming from thehydrophone delivering the best signal are interpreted. As a result, you do not need anhydrophone selection switch, as often used in older types of receivers.

• You can have a simultaneous reception from up to 12 data (depth, pitch, roll...) fromstandard sensors (e.g. door spread, catch).

• You can combine standard sensors with 1 high-defintion reception sensor (e.g. HDTEor NBTE sensor such as trawl explorer, catch explorer).

• You can configure your sensors to have a net monitoring configuration that suits yourtype of trawl’s gear.

• There are 1 NMEA and 2 NTC entries to receive hydrophones' temperature data.

Understanding Receiver LEDsBoot sequence

When the receiver restarts, the hydrophone and PoE LEDs light up according to a specificsequence. At the end of the sequence:

• LEDs are off if no hydrophone is configured.• LEDs are red or blue if hydrophones are configured.

If one or several LEDs stay green after the boot sequence, there is a problem with thereceiver. Contact your local support service.

PoE LED

You can refer to the PoE LED color to know if the receiver is correctly connected to thecomputer.

• Blinking green: the receiver is connected to a power source and to the computer.• Blinking blue: the receiver is connected to a power source but it is disconnected from

the computer. Check that the computer is connected to the PoE adapter.• Blinking red: Ethernet is resetting.

Hydrophone LEDs

The LEDs on the hydrophone ports identify the type of hydrophone that is connected tothe receiver.

• Blue: passive hydrophone• Red: active hydrophone• No light: no configured hydrophone

| 61


c) Click OK.

Wait for the update process to complete (approx. 10 sec.).

3. You can now have access to the multiplexer settings through Network Settings dialogbox.

Configuring InputsYou can configure the NMEA inputs of the multiplexer from MPX-Config3 software.

NMEA devices are connected to the multiplexer. See NMEA Multiplexer Cabling on page53 for guidance.

Important: Close Scala if open: MPX-Config3 software uses UDP channel totransmit and receive commands to the MiniPlex multiplexer. This channel needs toremain exclusive during the configuration of the multiplexer.

Important: ShipModul multiplexer cannot read NMEA messages longer than thestandard maximum length (82 characters), nor other format messages longer than61 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 canextract 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 outputon port 10110 will be done.

If Device 1 and Device 2 emit the same type of data (e.g. temperature, position), give thema talker ID like the following image, in order to distinguish data between the two of themwhen they are received by Scala.

| 62


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 2000.

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.

| 63


Other formats

If your device outputs messages in other formats than NMEA, for example Rapp Marineor non-standard NMEA messages beginning by @: 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 themultiplexer.

Configuring ScalaYou need to configure Scala software to receive and display the NMEA data received onthe multiplexer.

About this task

Important: You cannot use Scala and configure the multiplexer on MPX-Config3at the same time: MPX-Config3 software uses UDP channel to transmit and receivecommands to the MiniPlex multiplexer. This channel needs to remain exclusiveduring 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 10110 as port.

5. Click OK.

| 64


6. From the Sensor Data section of the control panels, under the tab NMEA, check theactivity of data received.

If you gave talker IDs to the devices you configured on MPX-Config3, you can see thateach 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, sothat Scala can distinguish them.
