Autopilot control option The AP mode of the DockerPro and EZVector remotes allows you to control a compatible autopilot. You can change the autopilot's operating mode (Standby/Auto) and command course adjustments of ±1º and ±10º with the remote. Note: This is a figurative illustration and is not a literal representation. This feature is available for the DockerPro and EZVector remote controls and requires an autopilot interface module. Chain Counter and Anchoring Scope Calculator The chain counter function displays the length of chain deployed, the depth of the seabed, and the chain...

DobleClic The DobleClic function recognizes a double press of a button or switch, allowing different commands to be assigned to both single and double presses. For example, two thrust levels can be configured for a thruster or engine. Although it resembles the "click" and "double-click" of a computer mouse, it is slightly different, as the button or lever must be held down for the action to take effect. The example in the following figure shows the case of a proportional bow thruster, where the remote control has been adjusted to send 60% thrust commands with a single click and 90% thrust...

DPS: Dynamic Positioning System Shipcontroller DPS is an automatic control system that maintains the position and heading of the boat within narrow margins of error. Launched in 2021, it marked a milestone in the market by being the first affordable generalpurpose DPS system that can be installed with a wide variety of boat propulsion configurations. Shipcontroller DPS uses a high-performance satellite compass as the position and heading reference unit, selected and configured specifically for this function: It supports GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS positioning systems. Support of...

EZVector (“EasyVector”) The EZVector technology facilitates simple or combined maneuvers of engines and thrusters, making the handling of the boat easy and intuitive when using the joystick of the remote control. EZVector is the algorithm that determines how the engines and the bow and stern thrusters are operated when we move the joystick lever in the horizontal plane (XY plane). EZVector supports different combinations of engine and thruster control modes, such as proportional control, on/off control, or PulseThrust control, allowing for easy and precise boat handling and facilitating the...

Hold mode with thrusters The Hold mode allows you to activate both the bow and stern thrusters to the same side with the simple press of a button, keeping the boat against the dock with a gentle thrust. The power applied to the bow and stern thrusters can be dynamically adjusted using the thruster control buttons. The initial thrust levels for Hold mode can be set independently for the bow and stern thrusters through the remote control's settings menu. When Hold mode is activated, you can see the thrust being applied to each thruster on the remote control's screen. This mode is available on...

RC mode The RC mode expands the control capabilities of the Shipcontroller system through additional expansion modules, such as:  A 4-axis control module for aft platforms, gangways, garage doors, etc.  An engine start/stop module.  A general-purpose relay expansion module. The RC mode is available on the EZVector and DockerPro remote controls and requires an additional control module. Navigation Data Telemetry The Shipcontroller system can connect to the boat's navigation data network, including NMEA2000, SeatalkNG, NMEA0183, and others. This integration allows the system to read...

NET (Shipcontroller NET system) Shipcontroller NET is an extension of the Shipcontroller system that allows multiple radio transceivers to be deployed across the boat's deck, forming a mesh of communication nodes that provides advantages such as:   Increasing the robustness and range of the radio system, especially on large vessels or when the deck is metallic and can shield radio signals. Providing redundancy and high availability of the radio system for critical applications. The radio transceivers are interconnected via the Shipcontroller CANbus, which can reach a length of 200 meters,...
