sodemas AUTOMATION PRODUCTS

An adaptable autopilot which optimizes gain, and minimizes unnecessary steering action.

PT900 fully conforms to the technichal requirements below, and improves on economical efficiency, safety, usability, and extensibility.

This Autopilot can be adapted from small vessels to large vessels.

IMO Res A.342(IX), A694(17) and A.64(67) Annex 3 & 191(79)

ISO 11674(2006), IEC60945(2002), IEC61162-1(2010), IEC61162-2(1998), IEC62288(2014)

 Our new adaptive autopilot which features a 5-inch touch display with the hardware and software based on our uniform product philosophy, creating a consistent bridge and operational approach. The advanced track steering technology contributes to safe and efficient operation, defined by its simplicity in usage. The idea behind our new AlphaPilot was to design a modular system with standard components that also makes it easy to service. Due to our experience and feedback of our customers and engineers, our main goal was to design an autopilot that is easy to install, commission and to maintain. The new AlphaPilot had to be deployable as a small system as heading control system up to an advanced and complex autopilot system with multiple positions and to control main steering. 

 The DynaPilot is an add-on on the existing and already successful MFM autopilot that is already daily used at many vessels. This MFM autopilot is a type-approved modular heading or track control system (up to CAT-C) designed to fit ships, and vessels of any size including high speed crafts. With the DynaPilot add-on installed on board of the vessel, the officer on watch is then able to control his vessel with a joystick. Through years of experience in the dynamic positioning industry, engineers have integrated DP algorithms into the hardware of the DynaPilot system. These DP algorithms reduce the response time of the commands given by the control computer and control unit which are part of the DynaPilot system and will give a much better user experience. The DynaPilot is the game changer, making DP technology available for any seafarer. 

 The conning function on the MFD is a giant leap forward. As there are so many things that can be shown, the key ways to optimize how information is presented is in a simple and easy to understand format. Every little detail has been carefully considered. In general we have three basic tabs which are categorized as voyage, docking and custom, and on every tab the most appropriate information is presented for the officer. For example, the voyage tab has a 3D highway mode, showing own vessel with waypoint information as well as other pertinent voyage related data, while the docking mode shows more precise information in a more task-specific way. Besides these two pre-set tabs, we provide the officers the ability to set their own custom tab. 

The EV-200 Power Pilot is a complete autopilot solution for powerboats with hydraulic steering.  Ideal for many outboard or inboard powered boats, the EV-200 delivers precision autopilot control using the intelligent EV-1 sensor core and the ACU-200 actuator control unit.  

The complete system pack includes a Type 1 hydraulic autopilot pump that is compatible with outboard and inboard hydraulic steering cylinder capacities between 80cc – 230cc (4.9 in3–14in3).  EV-200 Power Pilot systems are available with p70Rs autopilot control head, ACU-200 actuator control unit, EV-1 heading sensor and a 12 Volt Type 1 hydraulic pump. 

The EV-300 system is for use onboard vessels with solenoid-controlled electro-hydraulic steering systems. The included ACU300 actuator control unit interacts directly with with the boat's steering gear solenoids, delivering accurate and reliable autopilot steering.

The EV-300 Solenoid autopilot also works with Raymarine and 3rd party constant running hydraulic drive units.   

The EV-300 Solenoid autopilot system includes our p70Rs color autopilot remote control with rotary controller, the EV-1 Sensor Core, the EV-300 Actuator Control Unit, and an Evolution autopilot cabling kit.
