The noriStar propulsion control system (PCS), also known as remote control system (RCS) for ships, is an electronic system that controls, monitors, regulates and automates the operation and performance of a ship's propulsion system.
It involves the control of engines, gearboxes, propellers and other propulsion components to ensure efficient and safe navigation.
Whether your vessel uses conventional, hybrid, or fully electric propulsion, noriStar delivers precise and reliable control across all ship types and sizes. The system can be configured for multiple control stations and is suitable for various propulsion systems:
Built on our proven noriSys 4 platform, noriStar features a robust multi-master architecture with modular I/O components for flexible expansion – approved by all major classification societies.
The independent automation core complies with IEC 61131, ensuring high reliability and straightforward integration of third-party components.
The core of the noriStar 4 is the independent automation software in accordance with IEC 61131. The open system architecture makes it very easy to integrate third-party systems and components.
The remote control components communicate using various proven interfaces and protocols:
The advanced film and lighting concept offers high flexibility and adaptation to the environment:
The noriStar EOT system ensures a secure command transmission. The order is transmitted from the bridge to the engine room via the touch of a button, where it is then signalled visually and acoustically on one or more telegraphs. The staff in the engine room need to acknowledge the order to make the visual and acoustic alarm stop.
The emergency order telegraph system is flexible and scalable, meaning it is suitable for small applications with just two devices (e.g. bridge and in engine room) right up to large installations with several systems (multiple bridges and engine rooms). Different device versions are available for use on the bridge, aft bridge or in the engine control room. Read more about EOT
