MPC 800

REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM

FULL CONTROL
OF CP PROPELLERS
AND THRUSTERS
The Remote Control MPC 800 enables
the crew to control and oversee CP
propellers and thrusters for all types of
­vessels. It gives you clear information
on graphical displays – at all control
stations.
The system utilizes the latest micro-
processor technology and is specially
designed by Caterpillar Propulsion.
MPC 800 is a powerful control system specially designed for control-
ling CP propellers and thrusters in all types of vessels.
The control panels have daylight readable graphical displays, which
can be easily c­ onfigured to control or interface with a wide range
of supplementary systems including: clutches, PTH systems, shaft
brakes, joysticks, DP systems, VDR and conning systems.
A number of service modes can also be ­configured, including differ-
ent combinator curves and constant speed modes. The ­system uses
modern field bus technology with ­duplicated bus and electronics for
maximum redundancy. The serial field bus significantly reduces the
required wiring. The duplicated bus and electronic circuits ensure
full functionality of the system in the event of a total failure of one
of the electronic branches.
The system operates on two separate 24V DC supplies, one for
each electronic branch.
