Overview
Features
The ServoSentinel is an embedded computer module for industrial
and marine automation applications. Stand-alone, the module
provides a suitable platform for embedded Linux applications.

Real-time monitoring and alarm indication of a vessel’s
propulsion and auxiliary plant systems
Closed loop automation control using advanced scripting
Interface of 3rd party systems using Serial, Can or Ethernet
based data exchange
Multi-redundant Ethernet networking
The unit is based on a dual core 1.2 GHz PowerPC processor and
runs the Linux operating system. The ServoSentinel has been
designed to interface with the Rockwell 1734 and Wago 750 series
IO (Input/Output) modules providing a complete sensor and
actuator interface capability.
The functionality of the unit can be expanded by a series of plug in
expansion cards providing interface to 3rd party systems by means
of dual channel galvanically isolated serial interfaces (RS232,
RS422, RS485, CAN). A library of around 50 drivers provides
interface to a wide range of common and bespoke protocols.
