Thanks to its CANbus interface, Moxa's V481-T embedded
computer can be used as a controller to control the ship's thrusters.
Four of the V481-T's 8 serial ports connect a loading calculator, level
gauge for measuring the fluid levels, UPS (uninterrupted power supply)
for battery backup, and an integrated alarm system for emergencies. The
V481-T, which features a wide temperature design fit for harsh
environments, is located in the control room. The embedded computer in
the bridge retrieves data from the V481-T via the IKS-6726 managed
Ethernet switch. |
