Detailed description

MAD Brain Box podjetja MADINTEC je procesor navigacije in sistem avtopilota z visokimi zmogljivostmi, ki je namenjen centralizaciji in optimizaciji vseh elektronskih podatkov na krovu. Sistem temelji na več kot desetih letih izkušenj in zmagah v tekmovanjih na morju s čolni IMOCA, Ocean Fifty, Ultim, Class40 in Mini 6.50. Uporablja napredne algoritme umetne inteligence za doseganje natančnosti in zanesljivosti, ki sta zdaj dostopni tudi katamaranom za križarjenje, enotrupnikom IRC in superjaham.

Zbiranje in obdelava podatkov

MAD Brain Box zagotavlja zbiranje podatkov z visokim ločljivostjo, zlasti za veter (do 50 Hz preko modula MADMast), ter zajema gibanja čolna z visoko natančno lastno inercialno enoto (3 žiroskopi, 3 pospeškomeri). Te surovinformacije obdeluje v realnem času s pomočjo umetne inteligence, kar omogoča napredne dinamične izračune za pravi veter, navidezni veter, učinkoviti veter in veter glede na tla, pa tudi izračune učinkovitosti. Za razliko od konvencionalnih avtopilotov, ki reagirajo, MAD Brain Box predvideva poti, kar zagotavlja stabilnejšo smer in večjo odzivnost.

Vključevanje in upravljanje

Z razširjeno povezanostjo, ki vključuje Ethernet vhod in dva CAN 2.0 vodila, kompatibilna z NMEA2000 in lastnimi protokoli MADINTEC, se MAD Brain Box naravno vključi v senzorje in prikazovalnike vodilnih proizvajalcev, kot so B&G, Garmin in Raymarine. Deluje kot centralni možgan, ki povečuje vrednost podatkov vseh senzorjev NMEA2000 in modulov MADINTEC. Ko je povezan z MADControllerjem, omogoča izjemno natančno upravljanje hidravličnega cilindra (100 Hz, do desetine stopinje), kompatibilno z električnimi ali hidravličnimi cilindri, ter prispeva k 40-odstotni zmanjšavi energetske porabe aktuatorja.

Načini upravljanja in varnost

Sistem ponuja različne načine upravljanja, kot so vzdrževanje smeri, kot pravega vetra (TWA) in polarni način. Nadgradnje "ELITE" odklepajo načine "SUPER-PILOT", kot so "HEEL" (za nagib pri vetru in vetru od zadaj), "SPEED" in "APPARENT WIND TRACK", ki samodejno prilagajajo smer za optimalno učinkovitost. Za varnost so vključeni načini nadzora nagiba, z opcijskim "Multihulls Heel Security Pack", ki določa maksimalne meje in sprožja korektivne ukrepe. MAD Brain Box je zasnovan tako, da vzdrži izjemno stabilnost tudi v težkih morskih pogojih, preprečuje nepredvidene izključe.

Njegova modularna arhitektura, sestavljena iz sedmih lastnih visokokakovostnih modulov, povezanih preko CAN vodila MADINTEC, zagotavlja fleksibilnost razvoja sistema. Proizveden v Franciji, ima robustno zasnovo, prilagojeno morskemu okolju, in intuitivno uporabniško vmesnik preko MADRemote (žično ali brezžično), MADControl Center (spletna konfiguracija) ter aplikacije MADLight za enostavno upravljanje iz prikazovalnikov navigacije ali mobilnih naprav.

« MADINTEC MAD Brain Box: the intelligent navigation brain for enhanced performance »

The MADINTEC MAD Brain Box represents a major advance in marine electronics, not merely as an autopilot, but as a centralized navigation processor. Its strategic value lies in its ability to aggregate and interpret all sensor data with exceptional resolution, up to 50 Hz for wind and using a proprietary high-precision inertial measurement unit. Through artificial intelligence algorithms, this processor converts raw data into anticipative and ultra-precise steering decisions, tailored to each vessel’s specific behavior and sailing style.

In terms of field reliability, MADINTEC’s offshore racing pedigree is undeniable, with proven performance on demanding circuits like the Vendée Globe. The MAD Brain Box ensures smooth and rigorous course-keeping, even in rough seas or gusty conditions, minimizing overreactions and optimizing every helm movement. This precision reduces actuator strain and significantly lowers energy consumption, a major advantage for extended passages.

System integration is a critical strength. With its CAN bus and Ethernet interfaces, the MAD Brain Box natively integrates into existing NMEA 2000 architectures, ensuring broad compatibility with B&G, Garmin, and Raymarine sensors and displays. The high-frequency control (100 Hz) of the actuator via the MADController, with precision to the tenth of a degree, guarantees optimal helm responsiveness. Additionally, the modular design of the MADINTEC system allows for easy scalability, ensuring the navigation brain remains at the cutting edge of technology and adapts to the boat’s future needs. Automatic sensor failure management and continuous software updates further enhance its robustness and longevity.
