Detailed description

Namenjen sistemom avtopilota Evolution podjetja Raymarine, napajalna enota ACU-400 (E70100) je krmilna enota aktuatorja za sisteme, ki zahtevajo upravljanje z visoko močjo. Ta modul služi kot vmesnik med centralnim senzorjem EV-1, krmilnimi pulti (p70, p70s, p70R, p70Rs) ali multifunkcijskimi prikazovalniki (MFD) ter aktuatorjem krmilnega sistema plovila.

Integracija in združljivost

ACU-400 se integrira v omrežje SeaTalk NG podjetja Raymarine, kar olajšuje komunikacijo in distribucijo podatkov. Združljiv je z širokim razponom gonilnih sistemov, vključno z linearni aktuatorji tipa 1 in 2, linearni hidravličnimi sistemi tipa 2 in 3, I/O Stern pogoni, sistemov z volanskim krmiljenjem, Sport Drive, Verado, ter rotacijskimi pogoni tipa 1 in 2 in hidravličnimi črpalkami tipa 1, 2 in 3. Ta vsestranskost zagotavlja združljivost z različnimi konfiguracijami krmiljenja na srednje velikih do velikih plovilih. Fizične dimenzije ohišja so 284,9 mm x 261,0 mm, višina 59,6 mm, z minimalnim prostorskim odprtjem 50 mm za kable.

Položaj v seriji Evolution

Napajalna enota ACU-400 je najrobustnejša rešitev v seriji ACU (ki vključuje tudi ACU-100, ACU-150, ACU-200 in ACU-300). Medtem ko so ACU-100 in ACU-150 namenjeni aplikacijam z nizko do srednjo porabo moči, je ACU-400, skupaj z ACU-200 in ACU-300 v namestitvenih vodnikih, dimenzionirana za aktuatorje krmilnega sistema z visokimi tokovnimi zahtevami, kot so velike hidravlične črpalke ali močni linearni cilindri. Ta enota je bistvena za vzdrževanje natančnega in odzivnega nadzora avtopilota na bolj zahtevnih plovilih glede moči krmiljenja.

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

The Raymarine ACU-400 power drive 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. Its broad compatibility with various actuator types (linear, hydraulic, rotary) makes it a versatile choice. However, its sizing clearly targets 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 for optimizing steering performance. Choosing the ACU-400 means opting for a solution capable of handling the demands of the most demanding steering systems, delivering 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 drive unit in a Raymarine Evolution autopilot system?

The ACU-400 power drive unit is an actuator control unit dedicated to Raymarine Evolution autopilot systems. It serves as the essential interface between the EV-1 central sensor, 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.

Which types of steering actuators is the ACU-400 control unit compatible with?

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. For proper installation and cable routing, 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 into Raymarine's SeaTalk NG network. This connection enables communication and data distribution between all components of the Evolution autopilot system, including the EV-1 central sensor, control heads, and multifunction displays, ensuring smooth and rapid data exchange.

Which control pods or multifunction displays are compatible with the ACU-400 control unit?

The ACU-400 control unit is designed to work with the following Raymarine autopilot control pods:

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 hull type via the controller menu.Use the dockside calibration assistant (Dockside wizard) to configure basic parameters.Select the steering drive type.Check rudder alignment (for systems with rudder angle sensor).Set the rudder limit.Verify the steering 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. It is imperative to use a dedicated drain wire for this ground connection.
