Digital Switching

Product catalog summary
Introduction to Digital Switching
Raymarine Digital Switching integrates advanced home automation into marine vessels, allowing control of electrical and electronic systems such as lighting, air-conditioning, and entertainment systems via network-connected displays, smartphones, or tablets. It replaces traditional mechanical circuit breakers with digital power distribution, offering seamless operation and cost-effective installation.

System Architecture
The system utilizes compact Circuit Control Modules (CCMs) that support up to 16 circuits each, connected through the vessel's NMEA2000 network. This setup reduces cabling needs and simplifies installation and troubleshooting. The system also supports ENOcean wireless, energy-harvesting switches and sensors, enhancing design flexibility.

Graphical Interface
Raymarine's interface allows personalization with boat images and customizable screens. Users can control various systems like audio, lighting, and climate through Raymarine multifunction displays or mobile devices using Raymarine apps.

Master Control Unit (MCU)
The MCU acts as the central processor, managing communication between CCMs and storing configuration files. It supports GSM connectivity for remote communication and integrates with third-party systems via CAN-bus.

Circuit Control Module (CCM) Features
CCMs offer configurable outputs, inputs, and multiplexed channels, supporting functions like dimming and tank monitoring. They are compatible with ENOcean wireless devices, allowing for flexible installation without wiring constraints.

System Design and Configuration
Raymarine assists in designing systems for new or retrofitted vessels, matching equipment needs with appropriate CCMs and accessories. The system is configured and tested to ensure optimal performance.

MCU and CCM Details
The MCU provides configuration storage and communication facilitation, with models offering GSM and CAN-bus capabilities. CCMs are versatile, supporting various input and output configurations, and are expandable with additional modules.

Conclusion
Raymarine Digital Switching offers a modern, efficient solution for marine vessel automation, enhancing control and reducing installation complexity. The system's flexibility and integration capabilities make it suitable for a wide range of applications.
