MAD Interface Digital, módúl fyrir stýriskilaboð

The MAD Interface Digital, also called MADDigital, is a command acquisition module designed by MADINTEC. It serves as an interface to collect signals from remote controls and transmit them to the MADBrain autopilot system.

In the MADBrain Autopilot system, the MAD Interface Digital centralizes and transmits commands received from the remote controls (MADRemotes) to the MADBrain navigation processor via the CAN bus. It is the entry point for manual interactions with the autopilot.

The MAD Interface Digital is compatible with MADINTEC MADRemotes. This includes wired remotes and, via the MADRemote Receiver, wireless remotes.

The MAD Digital Interface connects to the rest of the MADBrain system via the MADINTEC CAN bus. This bus is NMEA 2000 compatible, enabling a simple and fast installation described as 'plug & play'.

Yes, the MAD Interface Digital integrates natively with the NMEA 2000 network via its connection through the MADINTEC CAN bus, which is compatible with this standard.

Yes, the MAD Interface Digital is a key component of the MADBrain autopilot system. It is included in the base pack and is required for acquiring external commands transmitted by remote controls.

The MAD Interface Digital module is designed and manufactured in France, like all MADINTEC products.

The MAD Interface Digital is specifically designed to work with MADRemotes remote controls from MADINTEC. Compatibility with remote controls from other brands is not guaranteed and is not mentioned in the documentation.

No, the MAD Interface Digital does not require a separate power supply. It is powered directly via the CAN bus MADINTEC to which it is connected, simplifying installation.

MADDigital is the acquisition module that receives and processes signals from the controls. The MADRemotes are the remote controls themselves, which are used by the helm to send instructions to the MADBrain autopilot.

The MADBrain Autopilot package includes the MADDigital and a wired MADRemote remote control. Wireless remotes and their associated receivers are typically offered as optional extras.

Yes, like the entire MADBrain Autopilot system, the MAD Interface Digital is continuously improved through regular software updates, ensuring enhanced performance and features.

Yes, the MAD Digital Interface is part of the MADINTEC marine electronics range and is specifically designed to provide optimal reliability and durability in the demanding conditions of the marine environment.

The MAD Interface Digital module weighs approximately 0.2 kg, making it a lightweight and easy-to-install unit on board.

No, the installation of the MAD Interface Digital is designed to be simple. It is described as 'plug & play' thanks to its direct connection to the MADINTEC CAN bus, which minimizes handling and configuration.

Yes, the MADBrain Autopilot system can integrate multiple MADRemotes (wired or wireless via a receiver). The MADDigital is the module that acquires commands from these different sources.

Yes, the MAD Interface Digital is a component of the complete MADBrain Autopilot system. To operate and have its commands interpreted, it requires the presence of the MADBrain navigation processor as well as other essential system modules.

No, the MAD Digital Interface is not a navigation processor. It is a command acquisition module. The central navigation processor role is handled by the MADBrain module.

The main function of the MADDigital module is to acquire and transmit commands from the MADRemotes remote controls to the MADBrain autopilot system, enabling the helm to control the autopilot.
