HARDWARE
The IAS is an integrated marine automation concept, designed to meet the complete range of automation and control task on board a modern vessel. The IAS is modular and scaleable in order to fit into any system from small system with some hundreds I/O up to larger systems with several thousands of signals NETWORK AND COMMUNICATION The controller is using a redundant IP network with communication up to the Operation Station. For I/O communication it is using Profibus. The IAS can be interfaced to other equipment with different types of communication like Modbus RTD, Modbus TCP/IP, Profibus, NMEA, fileshare.
