Control station configurations

• Main station with 2 touch screens
• Station 2 - 4 with 1 touch screen each
• 2 Control levers for speed/steering per station (common command with 1 lever possible)
• 1 or 2 steering tillers/wheels per station
• Independent backup control at main station

FEATURES and Benefits

For designers

• Flexible system architecture allows custom solutions
• Simple or complex system configurations available
• Addition of stations or functions can be done easily, even at a later stage

For yards

• Modular CAN-BUS design, with plug-in control devices and touch screens
• Factory calibrated components with minimal startup requirement
• Less wiring thanks to CAN communication
• Yard cabling with connectors between units provides fast connection of  the system (optional)

For operators and owners

• Full redundancy in controls for waterjet propulsion lines
• Increased reliability due to “firewalls”
• Enhanced intuitive and easy to use MMI
• Fully separated Backup system

Joystick (optional)

The joystick system provides a convenient “one handle control” for manoeuvring the ship. Using the joystick the operator can steer, control the thrust, change heading, move sideways, and rotate, by means of a single control lever.

Auto positioning (optional)

Added functionality (mode) to existing waterjet joystick for automatic position keeping.

Auto positioning allows the vessel to stay within a certain position,  utilising the propulsion at hand, based on signals from GPS, wind sensor and Gyro.

The current position is stored and will be maintained.

The system will compensate for wind and currents working to maintain position and heading.

The position can also be fine adjusted in the touch screen.

Head to wind

The set course will follow the direction of the wind keeping head to wind.

Economic power mode

The system responsiveness will decrease to save fuel and reduce load on propulsion units.

Alarms

Following alarms are available, depending on waterjet setup, from waterjet to an alarm system or a separate optional alarm panel:

• Control failure (including power supply)

• Hydraulic Low oil level
• Bearing Low oil level
• Bearing High oil temperature

Interfaces

Standard interfaces includes:

• Main engine
• Gearbox clutch
• Autopilot
