Oct 08, 2023
The embedded system has a range of excellent features, including comprehensive navigation, automatic control, collision avoidance, rich graphical interface and automation of communication and navigation management and control. These characteristics make the navigation of the ship highly automated, thus improving the safety, economy and efficiency of navigation. This system has many remarkable features, including high automation, high reliability and easy maintenance, as well as excellent software compatibility. In addition, it can meet the power demand of the ship and provide the required 24V power supply.
The main components of the system are mainly connected with multiple serial ports and network ports with all kinds of programmable logic controller (PLC) devices on board. It presents the information on the terminal by collecting and analyzing the data, and undertakes the control function to a certain extent. Considering the need for long-distance data transmission between the ship's PLC equipment and the main console, the RS485 communication mode is adopted to ensure the reliable data transmission.

The system can also withstand the harsh environmental conditions of the ship, including moisture, flooding and limited field of vision. It has excellent hardware stability and reliability and is suitable for shipboard standard rack and embedded installation requirements.
Industrial-grade tablet computer has been widely used in marine automation equipment. It has the following advantages: it can work in a wide temperature range and has IP65-level waterproof and moisture-proof performance; it adopts industrial-grade high temperature five-wire analog resistive touch screen to ensure the touch screen life; it adopts low-power Intel Lexus J series processor, which meets the requirements of ship energy saving. It has 6 RS232 serial ports (one of which can be switched to RS485) to meet the needs of serial communication.
In addition, the system adopts fanless design, combined with powerful heat dissipation technology to ensure the stable operation of the product in the harsh application environment. The design of the host module makes it easy for users to replace the hard drive and repair it.
At present, the industrial touch tablet computer has been successfully applied to the ship automation system, and its operation is stable and reliable. Through this system, managers and operators can realize the automatic control and management of the whole ship on the main console of the ship's cab.
In a word, this system has excellent features and advantages, such as 12V DC power supply, low power processor, rugged chassis design and RS485 communication, which make it play an important role in the field of ship automation.
