Commander Control Makes Debut

Radamec Control Systems Ltd launched a new range of rugged PCs into the marine marketplace last year. The new range includes an 8.4in IP67 Portable PC with full daylight touch screen display.

The ruggedised design meets MIL-STD 810F and is available with a wide range of options for interfacing and RF. A 20Gb hard drive is standard and the unit will soon be available with 30Gb or flash cards of up to 4Gb.

At only 1.6kg (incl battery) the unit is a truly useful and portable tablet PC.

Also within the portfolio is a range of fixed mount PCs in 10in, 12in and 15in screen sizes, built to the same standard as the portable unit with shock ratings of 30g. Again IP67 ratings are available as standard and IP68 is soon to be offered. Processor speeds up to 1.4GHz are available as well as touch screens up to 1000 NIT. The same range is also available as a screen only option.

Radamec's new Commander continues to broaden capabilities already well proven in reversing gearbox and CPP applications, Commander is now being installed in a number of water-jet applications. Commander enables a greater level of sophistication to be integrated into the system, with improved control given by increasing the sensitivity of the lever at the central bucket position, where it is needed most. This significantly improves the ease of operation, with combination control optimising bucket and thrust settings to simplify operation.

Commander is now being quoted for both Azimuth and Voith systems, including the new 3 axis Voith control head.
