NX2 Race Software
The FDX, Fast Data eXchange, is the protocol that allows the PC to become a fully integrated
NX2 instrument when connected to the NX2 Server.
The NX2 Race software free of charge with all NX2 FDX Servers, so bring your PC onboard
and use all capabilities that the NX2 system can offer!
The NX2 Race software enables you to monitor all data in analogue or digital format, create
waypoints and routes, logging all data, calibrate the transducers and system setup. You can
also activate the NX2 Steer Pilot, set backlight levels on the instruments etc. In short - control
the whole NX2 system.
The latest NX2 Race software can also be downloaded on the web for use with Silva NX2 FDX
server based systems. The NX2 Sail Performance software will not work with NMEA0183
protocol.
Connect your PC direct to the NX2 FDX Server PC port that normally is operating in
NMEA0183 mode. When the NX2 Race software is started, the Server will automatically
switch to FDX mode to be fully integrated with the NX2 system.

NX2 General
Every unit/instrument with the name ”NX2” can be connected to the network. You can
configure the system in pretty much which way you want with up to 32 NX2 units connected to
the network. The Server must be a part of the system.
Server:
Is the brain of the
NX2 system. To the
Server you will
connect all
transducers you
want information
from, instruments in
which you want to
see the information
and all other non
NX2 units, e.g. a
PC, you want to
have in the system.
The Server must
be used together
with the Multi
Control and
Remote Control.

Compass Data
Is an instrument that
is able to present all
information (two
lines of information
at the same time)
available in the NX2
network. This
instrument can also
control all the
information in the
Server e.g. settings
and calibrations. It
also has the feature
to be used as a
remote control for
other instruments.
Works basically as
the Multi Control.
The difference is
that it has larger
digits.
Multi XL must be
controlled from the
Multi Control and/or
the remote control.

Shows both TWA &
AWA at the same
time. Can also
present TWS, AWS,
BSP among other
things. TBS can be
presented if a PC is
connected to the
server.
Shows current
position, SOG, COG

based information.
Also has the ability
to enter and edit
waypoints, routes
and sailplans in the
instrument.

NX2 AUTOPILOT.
NX2 Autopilot consists, for boats up to app. 45 feet, of 5 parts. For
boats above app. 45 feet the integrated drive unit, HP40, will be
split in to two parts; a separate ram and a separate pump.
GPS ANTENNA
• Integrated hydraulic drive unit:
The unit that affects the rudder to move when the
autopilot is engaged. Will be mounted a tiller arm
attached to the rudder stock or the quadrant.

• Rudder angle transmitter:
Important to give the autopilot as accurate rudder

• Compass transducer HPC:
Gives the autopilot information about the actual course which will
be compared to the set reference course. The compass
transducer shall be connected to the network.
HPC measures compass heading, roll and pitch.
