The radio remote control system enables the operator to move around freely on the ship’s deck to be positioned in a location that gives the best view of the hold for a safe and effective operation. The system offers advanced and safe 2-way communication between the operator and the equipment. No cables are attached to the portable radio remote control box.

DESCRIPTION

The portable radio remote control box version 3-6 indicates the cause of the stop or any other kind of alarm in detail on the display. For installation of the radio remote control system, version 3-6, which is based on fieldbus technology, it is necessary to have either an existing electrical application with a PLC-system, or to install a new PLC-system.

BENEFITS

We can now offer an improved portable remote control box. With this new design, four rows of information can be viewed on the new liquid crystal display. Users can also choose between twenty signs each and is multifunctional. The radio remote control box can be programmed to show a scale result ton/hour.

The design incorporates a new base plate containing two batteries, which can be replaced one-by one without any disruption of operations. Each battery pack has a capacity of 2200 mAh, which is sufficient for 8 hours of continuous operation. The operator will get a detailed explanation for any stop/alarm, as well as guidance on how to correct any fault without unnecessary time losses. 

With the radio remote control system the operator can streamline troubleshooting and maintenance, without consulting other staff or recourse to the display in the central control room.
