WDU is a web server unit that distributes rich custom graphics to any HTML5-compatible device. The WDU device allows you to control and monitor any EmpirBus system through a user interface fully optimized for its purpose and compatible with our GPSMAP® multifunction touch screens for the control bridge. HTML5 pages and applications can be configured graphically without limits, and they work perfectly with the EmpiriBus software.

The WDU device, which works through an NMEA 2000® network, works at Ethernet speeds (GMN circular connector) for HTML5 distribution. It also offers optional connectivity for wireless connections through Wi-Fi® technology. This is how compatible smartphones and tablets can be used as control devices for the EmpirBus switching system.
