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

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.
