Controller cabinet
Usually located on bridge or in instrument room. This cabinet distributes signals to and
from the bridge and ECR. It controls all the signals from the Helicon X3 and send them
to the I/O cabinet. There is one controller cabinet per propeller/thruster.

The I/O cabinet is often located in the thruster room near sensors and actuators. This
cabinet distributes signals to the different propulsion/thruster units. There is one I/O unit
per propeller/thruster.
The I/O cabinet sends signals to the actuators on the propellers/thrusters and receives
signals from the sensors. There is CAN bus communication between each I/O and
controller cabinet.

4 Functions
Tunnel Thruster Control Functions
The control functions included in the Tunnel Thruster Control system:
• Pitch control
• Command transfer
Main Propulsion Azimuth Control Functions
The control functions included in the Main Propulsion Azimuth Control system:
• RPM control
• Azimuth control
• Command transfer
Pitch Control
The function of the pitch controller is to move the propeller blades in accordance to the
control lever order. The actuator unit represents the interface between the remote control
and the main servo system, which performs the actual positioning of the blades
