The NORISTAR 4 can be used in controllable pitch propeller systems for controlling the pitch and/or speed and in reversing gears and reversing diesel engines for controlling a speed controller. As standard each system is equipped with a user-friendly full follow-up control and a simple non-follow-up back-up control. NORISTAR 4 comprises a central processing unit provided by the NORISYS 4 automation system and operator panels connected via a bus system.
