Interface Solenoid Drive SD80

Drive interface for on/off or proportional control of rudder or thruster using galvanic isolated solenoids or high level current with possibility for frequency, voltage or current angle feedback, digital drive handshake and external mode input.
 

Key Features

• Solenoid Drive Interface for Additional Drives or Thrusters: This feature provides an interface that allows for the integration of additional drives or thrusters using solenoid valves. Solenoid valves are commonly used in marine applications for on/off control of propulsion systems. The interface supports solenoid outputs, which can control devices such as hydraulic pumps or other actuators used for propulsion and maneuvering.

• Galvanically Isolated Solenoid Output, up to 10A: The system includes galvanically isolated solenoid outputs, which provide electrical isolation to prevent interference and ensure reliable operation. The solenoid outputs can handle currents of up to 10A, allowing for robust and powerful control of connected devices. This capability is essential for managing high-current applications onboard vessels, providing safe and effective operation of additional drives or thrusters as part of the overall propulsion system.
