Detailed description
Detailed description
The MADINTEC MAD Controller pack is the power unit dedicated to controlling actuators within the MADBrain Autopilot system. Designed with over 10 years of offshore racing experience, including the IMOCA, Ocean Fifty, Ultim, Class40, and Mini 6.50 circuits, this controller delivers precision and reliability derived from the most extreme navigation requirements. It is now accessible for equipping a wide range of vessels, from cruising catamarans to superyachts, including IRC monohulls.
Performance and Steering Precision
The MAD Controller pack can control any type of actuator, whether electric or hydraulic, and is compatible with linear or rotary actuators. It stands out with its 100 Hz high-frequency control and rudder positioning to the tenth of a degree, ensuring responsiveness and finer adjustments than many competing systems. Its 12/24V compatibility ensures flexible integration into various onboard electrical configurations. The MADBrain system, of which the MAD Controller is a key component, uses advanced artificial intelligence algorithms for real-time data interpretation, providing smooth and rigorous course-keeping even in unstable conditions.
Integration and Reliability of the MADBrain System
This controller natively integrates via the CAN bus into the NMEA 2000 network, enabling a "plug & play" installation with standard sensors and displays on the market. The MADBrain system offers extended integration with third-party systems, allowing enhanced connectivity and performance. The MAD Controller contributes to a significant reduction in rudder stress and actuator energy consumption, thereby optimizing the durability of the entire steering system. Compared to more standard solutions, the MAD Controller pack, with its America's Cup and Vendée Globe heritage and its ability to actively adapt to wind and boat dynamics, delivers steering performance and route stability that push the traditional limits of autopilots.
