Heading Control System · Autopilot & Bridge Systems
Rexroth / Bosch SL 500kNm Rotary — Autopilot & Bridge Systems. The supplied category identifies the equipment as Heading Control System, and it is normally installed on the bridge with interfaces to the gyro or heading sensor, steering gear and navigation controls. In that listed role, its primary purpose is to command steering corrections that maintain a selected heading or track-related steering objective. Autopilot and heading-control variants differ in integration and control algorithms, but all close a steering loop using heading input, rudder feedback and steering commands. Within the supplied list, neighbouring variants are distinguished by their model designations and naming, while the source does not state further model-specific hardware differences. No additional performance, approval or construction detail is inferred from the model code beyond the information supplied in the source record. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
Every value below comes from the manufacturer datasheet or class-society record on file for this model.
