5 Product description
The 3D Controller is the control unit of Marex 3D. The
commands which are set by the joystick are transmitted to the
3D Controller via the joystick CAN bus. The 3D Controller
processes and converts the signals and thus actuates engines
and thrusters in an intelligent way. As a result, the ship‘s
movement follows the setting of the joystick with a high grade
of precision. In the heading mode, the data from the heading
sensor is included in the vector calculation and used to hold the
ship’s heading by means of a closed loop control.
The 3D Controller is available as a cabinet version with a solid
metal housing. At the front, the housing has openings for
screwed cable glands (7 x 16.2 mm, 4 x 25.2 mm and 1 x
English
20.2 mm). Furthermore, 4 CAN bus connectors (3 female, 1
male) are provided. Within the housing there is an open
electronic board which provides 42 terminals subdivided into
the terminal blocks X5 to X9. A two-line display is installed on
the electronic board which includes 2 buttons for the operation.
The display is used to call up service information and error
messages . The cover of the housing must be removed in order
to connect the power supply and thrusters and access the
display.
