Detailed description
Detailed description
The Raymarine EV2 sensor calculator is the central component of the Evolution autopilot systems, specifically developed for vessels equipped with electronic steering systems of the drive-by-wire (DBW) type. It serves as a direct interface between the Raymarine SeaTalk NG navigation network and the proprietary CAN buses of major engine manufacturers, enabling precise and responsive control of the helm without requiring a traditional power unit (ACU).
Brain of the autopilot for Drive-by-Wire systems
Unlike the EV1 sensor, which is designed for conventional helm systems (hydraulic, mechanical) and requires an ACU (such as the ACU-200 or ACU-400), the EV2 is the dedicated integration solution for modern propulsion systems. It connects directly to the bridges of systems like Volvo Penta IPS or Yamaha Helm Master, translating autopilot commands into digital instructions that the vessel’s propulsion system can execute. This architecture significantly simplifies installation, reduces wiring and clutter, and eliminates the need for a physical rudder angle sensor.
9-axis sensor technology and Evolution AI algorithms
At the heart of the EV2 is a 9-axis semiconductor Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) sensor. This sensor continuously monitors the vessel’s movements on all three axes (yaw, roll, pitch). The data is then processed by the Evolution AI intelligent control algorithms, which instantly adapt helm commands to sea conditions and the vessel’s dynamics. The result is remarkable course-keeping precision, optimized energy consumption, and superior piloting performance, without complex manual calibration.
Network integration and installation
The EV2 is powered and communicates via the SeaTalk NG network, ensuring seamless integration with Raymarine multifunction displays and p70s/p70Rs control heads. Its compact and splash-resistant housing (protected against dripping) allows flexible mounting, on a deck or bulkhead, sheltered from the elements. Installation is simplified, limited to connecting to the SeaTalk NG network and the propulsion system’s CAN bus, followed by a short commissioning procedure via the multifunction display.
