The Simrad AD80 analog drive interface is designed for rudder or thruster control with Simrad AP70 and AP80 autopilot systems. This drive interface enables analog or proportional control of the rudder or thrusters using analog voltage or low-level current.
The device offers the possibility of frequency, voltage, or current angle feedback for enhanced precision. It also features a digital drive handshake and external mode input for complete integration. The interface includes a galvanically isolated 4-20 mA analog output, ensuring the protection of electronic components. The device weighs 0.5 kg, facilitating installation in various boat configurations. Compatibility with AP70 and AP80 systems ensures native integration and full functionality.
This technical configuration ensures a controlled and reliable response in demanding marine environments. By incorporating this interface, the autopilot system's control capacity is expanded.
