Rolls-Royce Marine 389-496-00 Joystick Remote Control Panel 6799-W, 389-996-00

Controller cabinet

Usually located on bridge or in instrument room. This cabinet distributes signals to and

from the bridge and ECR. It controls all the signals from the Helicon X3 and send them

to the I/O cabinet. There is one controller cabinet per propeller/thruster.

The I/O cabinet is often located in the thruster room near sensors and actuators. This

cabinet distributes signals to the different propulsion/thruster units. There is one I/O unit

per propeller/thruster.

The I/O cabinet sends signals to the actuators on the propellers/thrusters and receives

signals from the sensors. There is CAN bus communication between each I/O and

controller cabinet.

Pitch Control

The function of the pitch controller is to move the propeller blades in accordance to the

control lever order. The actuator unit represents the interface between the remote control

and the main servo system, which performs the actual positioning of the blades
