5 About this product

5.1 Performance description

The Marex ECS Control Unit is used to actuate marine

transmissions and throttles of marine propulsions. The

Marex ECS Control Unit provides in- and outputs to collect,

process and output analog and digital signals.

The following in- and output variables can be processed:

2 analog output signals 0 - 20mA,

2 analog output signals 0 - 10V

2 analog output signals PWM

2 analog input signals (frequency … Hz)

5 digital outputs (high-side-switch)

10 digital outputs (low-side-switch)

10 digital inputs

The type and number of in- and outputs depends on the system

configuration and the related Marex ECS wiring harness.

The Marex ECS Control Unit is designed for the operation

with Marex ECS. Depending on the software some of the

functions which are described in these assembly

instructions may not be supported.

5.2 Product description

The Marex ECS Control Unit receives and processes the

operation commands which are set via the Marex ECS control

head(s) and transmits the resulting signals to the ship‘s

propulsion system to control the throttle and transmission

direction.

The Marex ECS Control Unit is connected to the Marex ECS

components by the STATION bus cable which is used for the

data communication between the components.

Between ship propulsion and Marex ECS Control Unit the data

can either be communicated via analog and digital interfaces or

the PROPULSION bus cable.
