The Azimuth Thruster Control System (ACS) fully automates from bridge the control of the electric azimuth thruster systems through the VFD or AFE drive control and provides full 360 degree control with full feedback (closed loop) units.
The Azimuth Thruster Control System fulfills the rules of the classification societies and includes steering control, remote control, safety, steering, RPM indication and a back-up control system.
The Azimuth Thruster Control System can be used in combination with a Dynamic Positioning or Joystick System.
Competence & experience in propulsion technology
We can offer a “One Source Solution’ providing complete control systems, Switchboards with Power management Systems and motor speed controllers (air and water cooled).
Special Features
The electrical power (KW) is divided equally between the gen-sets allowing for full power management and therefore maximizing fuel economy;
- Reduced cavitation and noise
- More thrust at low or high speeds
- Fully azimuthing
- Rugged construction with FULL RELIABILITY
