Ship control panel WCS

wiper

The Mega-Guard Wiper Control System (WCS) controls up to 9 windshield wipers. Each wiper has its own on/off pushbutton and fore and aft wipers are grouped together for simultaneous on/off control. Separate Aft and Fore pushbuttons are available for Low/High Speed, Heating and Washing functions. In Low speed mode the interval can be varied with the Interval+ and Interval- pushbuttons. The wipers are synchronized with each other. The washing function includes spraying, wiping and purging. The Mega-Guard Wiper Control System supports multiple Operator Panels. A typical lay-out includes two Wiper Operator Panels: one installed in fore bridge and one installed in aft bridge. The Operator Panels are inter-connected by a redundant Ethernet network. A text sheet with a representation of the bridge lay-out is inserted in the front of the Wiper Control System to get a realistic on/off control of the window wipers
