Detailed description

Dissenyat per als sistemes de pilot automàtic Evolution de Raymarine, el caixa de potència ACU-400 (E70100) és una unitat de control d'accionador dedicada a instal·lacions que requereixen una gestió d'alta potència. Aquest mòdul actua com a interfície entre el sensor central EV-1, els pupitres de control (p70, p70s, p70R, p70Rs) o les pantalles multifunció (MFD), i l'accionador de direcció del vaixell.

Integració i compatibilitat

L'ACU-400 s'integra en la xarxa SeaTalk NG de Raymarine, facilitant la comunicació i la distribució de dades. És compatible amb una àmplia gamma de sistemes d'accionament, incloent-hi els accionadors lineals de tipus 1 i 2, els sistemes hidràulics lineals de tipus 2 i 3, les transmissions I/O Stern, els sistemes de roda, Sport Drive, Verado, així com els accionaments rotatius de tipus 1 i 2, i les bombes hidràuliques de tipus 1, 2 i 3. Aquesta versatilitat assegura la compatibilitat amb diverses configuracions de direcció en embarcacions de mida mitjana a gran. Les dimensions físiques de la caixa són de 284,9 mm x 261,0 mm, amb una alçada de 59,6 mm, i requereixen un espai mínim de 50 mm per als cables.

Posicionament en la gamma Evolution

La caixa ACU-400 es posiciona com la solució més robusta de la sèrie ACU (que també inclou els ACU-100, ACU-150, ACU-200 i ACU-300). Mentre que els ACU-100 i ACU-150 estan destinats a aplicacions de baixa a mitjana potència, l'ACU-400, agrupada amb els ACU-200 i ACU-300 en els guies d'instal·lació, està específicament dimensionada per als accionadors de direcció de consum elevat, com ara bombes hidràuliques de gran capacitat o cilindres lineals potents. Aquesta unitat és essencial per mantenir un control precís i reactiu del pilot automàtic en embarcacions més exigents en termes de potència de direcció.

« Raymarine ACU-400: Power management for demanding Evolution autopilot systems »

The Raymarine ACU-400 power box is a critical component for Evolution autopilot systems, particularly suited to vessels equipped with high-power steering actuators. Its primary function is to provide a robust and reliable interface between the SeaTalk NG network and hydraulic power cylinders or pumps, ensuring that autopilot commands are transmitted with the required power and precision.

During installation, it is essential to comply with wiring requirements, including dedicated grounding via a drain wire, to ensure system stability and protection against electromagnetic interference. The wide compatibility with various actuator types (linear, hydraulic, rotary) makes it a versatile choice. However, its sizing is clearly intended for installations where ACU-100 or ACU-150 units would be undersized, typically for type 2 or 3 hydraulic pumps.

Commissioning involves detailed configuration steps via the autopilot controller, including hull type and drive type selection, as well as in-water calibration. These steps are critical to optimizing steering performance. Choosing the ACU-400 means opting for a solution capable of handling the demands of the most demanding steering systems, providing added value in terms of reliability and performance on larger vessels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the role of the ACU-400 power module in a Raymarine Evolution autopilot system?

The ACU-400 power module is an actuator control unit dedicated to Raymarine Evolution autopilot systems. It serves as the essential interface between the EV-1 sensor core, control heads (such as p70, p70s, p70R, p70Rs) or multifunction displays (MFD), and the vessel's steering actuator. It is specifically designed for installations requiring high power management for steering.

With which types of steering actuators is the ACU-400 unit compatible?

The ACU-400 is compatible with a wide range of steering drive systems, ensuring versatility for various vessel configurations. It supports the following actuator types:

Linear actuators Type 1 and 2Linear hydraulic systems Type 2 and 3I/O Stern DrivesSport DriveVeradoRotary drives Type 1 and 2Hydraulic pumps Type 1, 2 and 3

What are the physical dimensions of the ACU-400 housing and the space required for its installation?

The physical dimensions of the ACU-400 housing are 284.9 mm x 261.0 mm, with a height of 59.6 mm. To allow for proper installation and cable connections, a minimum clearance of 50 mm is required around the unit.

How does the ACU-400 connect to the SeaTalk NG network?

The ACU-400 integrates directly with Raymarine's SeaTalk NG network. This connection enables communication and data distribution between all components of the Evolution autopilot system, including the EV-1 sensor, control heads, and multifunction displays, ensuring smooth and rapid information exchange.

It is also compatible with Raymarine multifunction displays (MFD) that can be used as autopilot controllers, enabling full integration into your navigation system.

What is the difference between the ACU-400 and the other power modules in the Evolution series?

The ACU-400 is the most robust solution in the ACU series (which also includes the ACU-100, ACU-150, ACU-200, and ACU-300). While the ACU-100 and ACU-150 are designed for low to medium power applications, the ACU-400 is specifically sized for high-current steering actuators. It is ideal for high-capacity hydraulic pumps or powerful linear actuators, essential for maintaining precise and responsive autopilot control on vessels with higher steering power demands.

What are the main steps for commissioning a Raymarine Evolution autopilot system using the ACU-400?

Commissioning a Raymarine Evolution autopilot system with the ACU-400 involves the following steps:

Power up all components of the autopilot system.Select the vessel's hull type via the controller menu.Use the dockside calibration assistant to configure basic parameters.Select the steering drive type.Check rudder alignment (for systems with rudder angle sensor).Set the rudder limit.Check the rudder drive.If no rudder angle sensor is installed, specify the hard-over time.Perform compass linearization.

Does the ACU-400 power housing require a dedicated ground connection?

Yes, for optimal and safe operation, the ACU-400 power housing requires a dedicated ground connection. A dedicated drain wire must be used for this ground connection.
