The improved system especially designated for the ASD maritime vessels and consequently consider as their intelligent brain.
Azimuth Thruster Remote Controller is considering to bring about intuitive safeties & automations over the propulsion system.

An impeccable maneuvering for any ASD, performing by means of Azimuth Thruster Remote Controller & Safety system.

RCS-ZMZ-002576-79 product is enhancing an intelligent remote control system over the propulsion system (combinations of the azimuth thrusters & engines).

The RASHBM company’s safety & remote control system offers for any offshore vessel to upgrade ( like the Azimuth Stern Drive).

An intuitive software basis over the marine-approved type Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) from the prominent brand, the SIEMENS.

The RCS-ZMZ-002576-79 internally integrates various control and safety functions, allowing operators to manage the ship’s propulsion systems from the several remote stations.

In this system the remote controller functions are combining the CPP & RPM control signals, and therefore every parameters are at the operator’s disposal.

An intelligent Control & Safety system retrofitted over the bridge control consul for an ASD Tugboat; therefore upgrades it and enhances its maneuverability.

ASD vessel retrofitted by means of the RCS-ZMZ-002576-79 system, which is comprising two sets “Z-Peller” azimuth thrusters (Japanese maker).

The ASD maritime vessel upgraded from an obsolete 2×180 degree azimuth rotation to a cutting-edge technology of the 2×360 degree azimuth full-turn.

Installation and retrofit of the RCS-ZMZ-002576-79 Azimuth Thruster Remote Controller system led to improve the vessel’s capibilities.

Azimuth Thruster Remote Controller (RASHBM RCS-ZMZ-002576-79) includes the several Control Levers and Human Machine Interface (HMI).

An enhanced PROFINET network established for the monitoring means and control purposes, accessible by the operators.

The software implemented and embedded either on the single separate frame or together with the driver PLC(s), in the control cabinets.

Azimuth Thruster Remote Controller system comprising a technical hierarchy to establish the software over the hardware.

In the designed hierarchy several devices and equipment are located in the different levels, communicating each other over the PROFINET network.

The HMI, the control levers, together with their monitoring and safety background means will be assigned as the medium level interface in the hierarchy.

Finally, the lower level equipment in the hierarchy consisting of a wide range of input sensors and outputs, like the actuators & transmitters.

The output amplifiers are established to drive the engine (governor), pitch electro-hydraulic controller and the steering actuator.

Imperative and designated alarms assigned to the several points of CPP(s), Engine, Gearbox or Azimuth thruster’s sensors.
Distributed Control & Fieldbus safeties related to the system establishes to act as the intelligent and necessary inputs to the system.

Remote Controller & Safety (RCS-ZMZ-002576-77-79) for the Azimuth Thrusters SYSTEM’s ARCHITECTURE:

Azimuth Thruster Remote Controller consisting of the two independent sets of the central PLC(s), compose the main RCS stations.

PLC as the higher layer in the hierarchy, located both in the ECR and the BRIDGE).

Several Sub-Stations connecting to the main stations (as the medium layer, including the Control Levers and HMIs).

The communication links and data transfer lines establishing through the PROFINET.

Several sub-stations allocates in the several locations under PROFINET network, in the wings and the Emergency Stand.

There are several remote stations consisting of the compact Control Levers and the HMI(s) as the Control and safety monitoring stations.

The HMI (machine control/ interfaces to the operators), locating in the several monitoring stations like BRIDGE, WINGs, ECR, Emergency Stand and etc.

The enhanced network depending on the individual types of maritime vessels and their requirements.

The interconnections to the exterior monitoring systems and data Networks, like the bridge control station, are achieving through the PROFINET.

Important Note: Mainly offshore vessel’s owners are mostly concentrating on the hull-refurbishing & engine/Propulsion repair.
Mostly, they’re neglecting to concentrate on the upgrade the brain of the vessel: Azimuth Thruster Remote Controller system.
Renovation & upgrade the brain of the vessel (automations) consequently leading to a cost-effective establishment of the marine strategies & safeties.
Implementing the Azimuth Thruster Remote Controller & safety system improves maritime vessel’s maneuverability & moreover the safeties to save owner’s costs in long term.
