Common failures & inspection points

CAN-Bus System Redundancy Verification

Verify dual CAN-bus connections are properly terminated, monitored, and functioning in redundant configuration per IEC 61162-460

Wire Break Detection and Failsafe Operation

Test wire break alarm function (Type 148-620 device) - confirm 24V monitoring triggers immediately upon disconnection and halts follow-up steering without rudder movement

Rudder Angle Feedback Signal Integrity

Measure actual rudder angle using Type 136-065 indicator against command signal; verify ±1° accuracy and <50ms response time per IMO SOLAS requirements

Proportional Valve Control Response

For Type 139-155/159 proportional amplifiers: verify torque motor current, solenoid valve modulation, and time to full rudder deflection (<30 seconds); test at Bridge/Local/Emergency modes

Steering Stand Electrical Safety and Grounding

ComPilot 20: Verify all pre-wired connections per installation drawings, test earth continuity, confirm 24VDC supply voltage regulation ±10%, and validate emergency steering bypass circuit function
