Electronic marine propulsion controls

Name: Electronic marine propulsion controls
Brand: Smart-Ship

Smart-Ship controls for throttles, bow and azimuth thrusters, tillers, HMIs and integrated panels, with optional force feedback via adjustable forces, detents and LED indication.

Description

Smart-Ship electronic marine propulsion controls are operator controls for throttles, bow thrusters, azimuth thrusters and tillers, together with HMIs and integrated control panels, specified for the vessel and application. Optional force feedback returns system information to the operator through adjustable forces, distinct detents and LED lighting.

Product range

Throttle controls: single and twin levers for main-engine and propulsion-system control
Bow thruster controls: proportional control for electric and hydraulic bow thrusters
Azimuth controls: combined steering and power control for azimuth thrusters and steerable propulsion units
Tiller controls: compact steering controls with a project-specific feedback profile
HMIs: interfaces for status, settings, alarms and operating-mode selection
Integrated panels: complete control panels combining controls, HMIs, indication and switching functions

Force feedback

Tactile zones help the operator stay within an efficient power range
Feedback clarifies limits to help prevent unnecessary component load and wear
Forces, detents and lighting communicate system status without extra screen actions
Feedback and functionality configurable by sailing mode, control position or application

Project approach

Functions, users, control positions and feedback are defined per use case; mechanics, electronics, lighting and force profiles are then configured, integrated with Smart-Ship or an existing control system, and validated.

A100-L / A200-L

Accelleron A100-L and A200-L turbochargers for low-speed two-stroke marine engines from 3,000 kW to 28,000 kW, with efficiency up to 75%, up to 30% lower weight than TPL-B and Turbo Insights included.
