Thanks to its CANbus interface, Moxa's V481-T embedded computer (available for project-based orders) 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. |
