Interface Analog Drive AD80

Drive interface for analog or proportional control of rudder or thruster using analog voltage or low level current with possibility for frequency, voltage or current angle feedback, digital drive handshake and external mode input.
 

Key Features

• Analogue Drive Interface for Additional Drives or Thrusters: This feature provides an interface that allows for the integration of additional drives or thrusters using analogue signals. It supports analog control signals, typically in the range of 4-20mA, providing precise and proportional control over the connected drives or thrusters. This capability is particularly useful for vessels that require additional propulsion control beyond the standard rudder systems, enhancing maneuverability and operational flexibility.

• Galvanically Isolated Analogue Output, 4-20mA: The system includes galvanically isolated analogue outputs, ensuring electrical isolation between different components to prevent interference and ensure reliable operation. The 4-20mA output range is standard in industrial instrumentation, offering robust and accurate signal transmission over long distances without signal degradation. This feature enables seamless integration with external devices or systems that require analogue input signals, enhancing compatibility and versatility in marine applications.
