Please not this pack does not come with the heading sensor.
Engineered for responsiveness robustness and ease of use the AP70Mk2 pairs a precision rotary control dial with dedicated buttons for instant access to steering modes several custom-configurable work modes and multiple rudder/thruster integration.
Wheelmarked for use on SOLAS vessels: The AP70 Mk2 builds on and continues the legacy of the SIMRAD Pro autopilot product portfolio. Its performance robustness and quality are proven and recognised with the wheelmark symbol making it suitable for all vessels ranging from small work- boats to large tankers.
Advanced configuration and tuning options to suit all ships: Parameters ranges and tuning options to support vessel dynamics. Adjustable for all weather conditions hull types work situations. Suitable for retro-fit on old ships as well as modern new-builds.
Compatible with all common rudder/drive types: Water jet Azi-pods Voith-Schneider Rudder outboard. Control signals to control hydraulic pumps solenoids analog current/voltage control/handshake signals.
Up to 6 rudders/thrusters integration: Dual rudders fore and aft thrusters supports large and complex installations and redundancy.
Heavy-duty rudder feedback support: Simrad heavy-duty rudder feedbacks are supported.
Configurable Work Mode and Low/High Speed Modes: Autopilot settings can be tuned for optimal performance in separate low-speed high-speed and Work modes. The user-configurable Work mode allows the autopilot system to be configured for optimal response in a specific situation such as a fully laden vessel configurable thruster usage.
No Drift Steering: No Drift mode integrates GPS navigation with auto-steering using position data to counteract the effects of wind and tide. This allows the AP70 Mk2 to maintain a straight track over ground on the current course without the need to manually set a waypoint or route.
Navigation steering route following: Navigation steering controls the ship on a pre-planned route from a Simrad MFD Simrad ECDIS or third party MFD and ECDIS.
Command transfer and multiple control stations support: Command transfer is a mechanism useful in multi-controller installations. It enables the officer on watch to allow deny the transfer of autopilot control to control devices such as a secondary AP70 Mk2 or a remote controller on a bridge wing station above deck or aft bridge depending on the work scenario. The AP70 Mk2 can also be used in an open configuration where control flow is unrestricted.
Note; this Autopilot pack excludes a heading sensor. A heading sensor is an essential Autopilot component. If you do not have an existing compass which outputs heading information then have a look here.
Note; this Autopilot pack excludes a drive unit. A drive unit is an essential Autopilot component. If you do not have an existing drive unit then please select from here.
