1 Introduction

Fig. 1-1 Nav Data Distribution Box SAM 9512

The Nav Data Distribution Box SAM 9512 offers the ability of easy handling of two nav data sources to
eight outputs. Each output can be connected to two possible receivers (resulting in a maximum of 16
listening devices). Additional features are opportunity of flexible switching, alteration of data-speed,
merging of data and fail-safe routing in case of loss of power-supply (with installed piggy-pack PCB
9512PP).
The status of the SAM9512 is displayed via 6 LED on the front (see 5 "LED-Indicators").
An alarm-signal with potential-free NC- and NO-relay-contacts is available (with installed piggy-pack PCB
9512PP - see 4.1 "Alarm").

☞ This document describes the functionalities of the software-version 1.1.1 and above.

2 General information Technical Manual

2 General information

The SAM 9512 has two inputs for NMEA-signals 1). Both signals can be routed in different ways. The setup
of the options is done via the DIP-switch SW1, with its contacts SW1-1 to SW1-5. SW1-6 is not used
(see 3.1 "Configuration of SAM 9512").
The resulting output then is applied to the outputs OUT1 to OUT8. To each output two listeners may be
connected, defining the maximum of 16 receivers that can be supplied from one SM 9512. For enhance-
ment of outputs the SAM 9512 can be installed cascaded, meaning an output of the first SAM 9512 is
connected to an input of a downstreamed SAM 9512 (see 3.2 "Electrical Connection").

2.1 Enhancement through the Piggy-Pack 9512PP

The piggy-pack 9512PP ensures to have the incoming-signal at IN1 be available at OUT8, even in case
of loss of power supply to the SAM 9512 or in case of a failure of the SAM 9512.
The connection to these ports is controlled by relays and wired on the piggy-pack 9512PP and the in-
and outgoing cabling to the external units has to be connected the labeled ports INPRIO and OUTPRIO
(see 3.6 "Connection of prioritized signals").

3.1 Configuration of SAM 9512

The configuration of the SAM 9215 consists of

- the setting of the transmission speed of the incoming signal
- the determination of the assignment of the input-signals
- different transmission speed of IN2, in case of multiplexed routing of two input signals.

* Baudrate for IN1, IN2

and OUT defined by
Switches 1+2

** Baudrate only for IN1

and OUT defined by
Switches 1+2

Fig. 3-1 Configuration DIP-switch SW1

SW1 consists of 6 independent DIP-switches of which only the switches 1 to 5 are used.
NOTE: The transmission-parameters are set to 8-N-1
CAUTION: Always push RESET-button after modification of DIP-switch setting.
See figure 2-1 "Piggy-pack 9512PP installed with internal connections"
Alternatively the unit can be powered OFF and On.

☞ Standard-configuration at the time of delivery is all switches set to OFF, resulting in a fixed routing
for input-signal at IN1 with a baudrate of 2400bd.

Mode Explanation
Fixed The named input-channel is used (routed) only. The other input-
(Input-modes 1&2) channel will not be used at all.
The input-channel that is named as PRIMARY will be routed to the
Auto-Switch outputs. Only in case of loss of the primary input-signal, the SAM
(Input-modes 3&4) 9512 automatically switches over to routing of the secondary input-
channel.
the input-channel IN1 and IN2 will both be routed to the outputs.
if one incoming data-telegram has been fed to the output, the next
telegram will be taken from the next active incoming signal.
The baudrate of the output will always be the same as for IN1. The
Multiplex data-speed for this has to be set according to table
3-1 "SW1-(1+2) - Setting of primary baudrate".
(Input-modes 5...8)
However, the baudrate of IN2 may be different and will be
converted to the set output-baudrate.
The baudrate for IN2 has to be selected via modes 5 ... 8 of above

3.2 Electrical Connection

RS-422-connection consist of cables with three wires and a shielding.

In general, the shielding of the cables has to be connected on the transmitter only (the so-called
TALKER) The receiver-side (the so-called LISTENER) should not be connected to the shield.
For the SAM 9512 only the output-cables have to have the shielding connected. Each output may be
connected to two listeners.

Fig. 3-2 RS-422-cabling according to IEC 61162-1

Depending on the shielding-type of the cable in use, different methods of connection are required.
Please check carefully which type of cable is
used before connecting the RS-422-wires.

The INputs of the SAM 9512 are Listeners,

the OUTputs are Talkers

In case of trouble with stability of the

incoming signals, please check the correct
connection of the shielding or refer to 3.7.1
"Signal Termination"

3 Installation Technical Manual

For easy wiring it possible to connect listeners in daisy-chain as shown in the lower section of the
following drawing.

Fig. 3-4 RS-422-cabling according to IEC 61162-2

Please pay attention that this is the connection-method in general.

For the SAM 9512 a maximum of two listeners is permitted to be connected to one output.
If you need more than the possible 16 listeners further SAM 9512 can be connected to each output,
extending the capability from 2 listeners for this output to the resulting 16 outputs of the down-streamed
unit.

3.3 Connection to the SAM 9512

The cables can be mounted by means of stainless-steel clamps to the shackles of the housing.

Fig. 3-5 Cable mounting (seen from the back)

Depending of the type of the wire (See figure 3-3 "Shielding variations") at least contacts A&B have to be
connected.

3.4 Power-Supply

The SAM 9512 supports redundant power-supply by using two independent 24VDC-Power-Supplies.
In case of loss of primary power-source PS1, or even drop of voltage below the required minimum-value,
the control-logic automatically switches over to PS2. The power-supply in use is indicated on the front-
panel (see chapter 5 "LED-Indicators").
Both power-supply-input are protected individually on the Main-PCB via the safety-fuses F1 & F2, rated
500mA / 250V (See figure 3-8 "Connectors of SAM 9512").

3.5 Alarm-Contacts

The alarm-contacts have to be taken from the piggy-pack 9512PP only.

The alarm-contacts from X6 of the Main-PCB have to routed to SV2 on the piggy-pack 9512PP to ensure
correct emergency switching.

3.6 Connection of prioritized signals

The most important input- and output-signal have to be connected to the piggy-pack-unit 9512PP,
which ensures to have the incoming-signal at IN1 be available at OUT8, even in case of loss of power
supply to the SAM 9512 or in case of a failure of the SAM 9512.
This means instead of connecting the main output to OUT8, it has to be connected to OUTPRIO on the
piggy-pack 9512PP and the most important input-signal must be connected to INPRIO on the 9512PP.
All necessary cabling to the Main-PCB is done at factory-side as shown below.

Technical Manual 3 Installation

3.7 Manual input-selection

If two input-signals of the same type (e.g.

two GPS-sources) are connected to the
SAM 9512, only one signal may be
forwarded to the outputs. Signal-multi-
plexing is not possible before Software-
Version V 1.1.2 (See 7.2 "Version 1.1.2 -
S/N above DWyymm02215").
The forwarded signal can be chosen with
the settings 1...4 of SW1-(3&4) (See table
3-2 "SW1-(3...5) - Setting of input mode").
To make signal-switching easier it is
possible to connect an external switch to
contacts S0-S1-S2.
If there is no connection from S0 neither to
S1 nor to S2, the signal-routing will be
performed according to the internal DIP-
Switch-Setting.
If S0 is connected to S1, always IN1 will be
used during normal operation.
If S0 is connected to S2, always IN2 will be
used during normal operation.
Fig. 3-8 Connectors of SAM 9512
This allows external signal-selection.
Perhaps two GPS-signals have to be
selected this way, since normally only one is allowed to be active at the same time.
In case of loss of power-supply or malfunction, the emergency routing from INPRIO to OUTPRIO via
installed piggy-pack 9512PP is performed as in any other operational mode.

3.7.1 Signal Termination

Standard-configuration of the inputs is termination with 4,7kOhm

In case of trouble with stability of the incoming signals, both IN-channels can be supplied with an addi-
tional terminator via a jumper-clamp on the pins 2+3 of JP1 for IN1 and JP2 for IN2. This applies termi-
nation with 120hm in parallel.
For location of JP1 and JP2 see above figure 3-8 "Connectors of SAM 9512".
☞ The termination of the inputs only applies. if the SAM 9512 is active. In case of failure-routing from
INPRIO to OUTPRIO, no termination is active. This is according to common signal-specifications.

4 Status-Signals Technical Manual

4 Status-Signals

There are two potential-free status-signals to indicate important system-conditions.

The signals are provided via two contacts each.
Both signals are designed for maximum load of 50mA / 50 V. It is recommended using a relays in case
of higher power.

4.1 Alarm

These contacts Alarm+ and Alarm- indicate any system-malfunction like:

- loss of both DC-power-supplies
- loss of internal power-supply to the internal buffer-amps and/or to the µ-controller
High resistance indicates error-condition.
This alarm-signal is routed to the piggy-pack 9512PP only, where it is used to control the emergency-
switching of the priority-signals.
The EXTERNAL alarm-contacts have to be connected to X2 of the piggy-pack 9512PP, where they are
available as electrically-isolated NC- and NO-contacts.

4.2 Active Input

These contacts (X7-5 + X7-6) indicate the current statically used input signal (not valid for multiplex-
operation).
High resistance indicates the usage of IN1, low resistance indicates usage of IN2.

☞ If the SAM 9512 is configured for multiplex-mode, the status-signal for Active-Input is set to high-
impedance.

Technical Manual 6 Technical Data

6.1 NMEA-signals

6.1.1 GNSS-data for GMDSS or Nav equipment

The SAM 9512 can be used for GMDSS-equipment to connect two GNSS-data-transmitters for combined
NMEA data transfer to GMDSS or Nav equipment. This so-called multiplexing is available since software
version V1.1.2.
Please refer to the following chapter 7.2 "Version 1.1.2 - S/N above DWyymm02215" for details.
The setup for the different modes (including manual-, or automatic-input-switching) can be found at
paragraphs 3.1 "Configuration of SAM 9512" and 3.7 "Manual input-selection"

6.1.2 GNSS-data-restriction for NACOS Platinum

If the SAM9512 is used to supply NMEA messages from GNSS-equipment to NACOS/Platinum only the
INPRIO and OUTPRIO terminals have to be used. It is not permitted to connect another GNSS equipment
to input terminal IN2 neither for manual switch-over nor for multiplex and other available operating
conditions which can be set by the DIP switch.

7 Software-Versions

7.1 Version 1.1.1 - S/N up to DWyymm02215

Up to S/N DWyymm02215 with Software V 1.1.1 it is mandatory to use an external switch for input-
selection, if the installed NAV equipment is of the same kind (congeneric).
Signals of identical type like two GPS, GPS & DGPS, two DGPS or two echo sounders (etc.), may not be
multiplexed.

7.2 Version 1.1.2 - S/N above DWyymm02215

Above serial no. DWyymm02215 a new SW version 1.1.2 is used to enable multiplex operation of NAV
equipment of the same type on German flag vessels as well, due to an additional “byte of origin”, which
is set ahead the NMEA messages starting with either a “$” or “!”.
This byte of origin indicates the input ports to which the signals are connected to.
NOTE: This new functionality does not overrule the statement under 6.1.2 "GNSS-data-restriction
for NACOS Platinum".
Multiplex operation example with byte of origin:
- Internal selected Mode: Multiplex, channel 1 and 2
- External selected Mode: no selection

7.3 Determination of installed software

Please use of PC and serial I/O cable.

1. Connect the serial I/O cable to one of the 8 output terminals:
- RxD line (pin 2 of D-SUB 9 COM port) to terminal B and
- GND line (pin 5 of D-SUB 9 COM port) to terminal A
or
- RxD line to terminal B and GND line to terminal C).

2. Boot the PC, start HyperTerminal (or any other Terminal-software) and set up a new connection for
this service:
- Baudrate 4800, if 9512 is configured accordingly
- Data bits 8
- Stop bits 1
- Flow control none

3. Press Reset key on the PCB of 9512 (See figure 2-1 "Piggy-pack 9512PP installed with internal
