DIGITAL SYSTEM
Series
5400-1100
The Series 5400-1100
electric shaft control system
is an electrical alternative to
mechanical shafting for
interconnecting control
levers on a ship.
Moving the control lever at
one station causes all other
levers in the system to follow.
This provides continuous
display of the commanding
lever position at all stations.
Because all control levers
are continually aligned,
control transfer between
stations is smooth and
“bumpless”.
FEATURES
! Single or twin screw
! Multiple stations
! Dual potentiometers for
redundancy
! Dimmable internal
illumination
! Power fail and system
fault alarms
! Control head IP66 above
console surface
! Corrosion resistant
! Conformally coated PC
boards
! Rugged construction
! ”Unbreakable” transparent
cover
! Many different detent and
friction arrangements
! Easy to install
! Marine Approvals

ELECTRIC SHAFT
Electric Shaft System
Series 8503-2000 Digital Servo Controller are used
in conjunction with Type 5401-1100 or 5040-1100
control heads to form an electric shaft system.
The electric shaft control system is an electrical
a l t e r n a t i v e to m e c h a n i c a l s h a f t i n g f o r
interconnecting control levers on a ship.
Moving the control lever at one station causes all
other levers in the system to follow. This provides
continuous display of the commanding lever
position at all stations. Because all control levers
are continually aligned, control transfer between
stations is smooth and “bumpless”.
The system uses dual 24VDC inputs from ship’s
power supplies and serial communication with error
detection to ensure trouble free operation.
Diagnostics
Troubleshooting guidance is provided by a
Watchdog LED and a Fault Code LED. Under
normal operating conditions the Watchdog LED
will flash.
The Fault Code LED flashes two digit codes which
correspond to particular fault conditions.
A fault relay opens on a general system fault. A
critical fault relay opens when a fault is detected in
the system that would cause an electric shaft lever to
TYPICAL SCALES
Command Orders
To place a new command: Ensure that the station
you are operating is in command. Move the
Command Lever to the desired command position.
This will transmit the new command position to all
the stations. All other stations (unless disabled) will
align their Command Levers to the new command
position.
Command Jog
Jog buttons can be added, allowing the operator to
make fine adjustments to the Command Lever
position.
Control Transfer
Generally, command is transferred by pressing a
Control Transfer button. Optional auto transfer is
available, where moving the Command Lever at the
desired control station will also transfer command.
The control transfer logic can be performed by the
Digital Servo Controller or via external logic (PLC,
relays, control transfer boards).
Command Position
Optional command signal transmitters can be
installed at the factory. These transmitters work
independently of the electric shaft circuitry in the
Digital Servo Controller. Each transmitter has it's
own power supply with a self resetting internal fuse.
Even with a complete failure of other circuitry on
the Digital Servo Controller the transmitter will
continue to function properly.
