Propulsion control system PropControl

The modular and highly standardized propulsion control system from SCHOTTEL reliably transmits the control instructions of the ship's crew to the propulsion unit. Every propulsion type as well as auxiliary units, clutches, gearboxes and motors are controlled. Analogue, digital and serial interfaces are available to enable seamless and secure communication with peripheral systems on board. All elements of the system from the sensors and actuators to the switch cabinets, the underlying software and the control desk components are developed, designed and manufactured by SCHOTTEL. A wide range of control panels, indicators and control levers ensure that the high requirements in terms of ergonomics, safety and regulations are met in all applications.
