SCHOTTEL has unveiled PropControl 4, the latest generation of its propulsion control systems. The new solution helps operators and crews manage complex propulsion systems safely, efficiently, and intuitively. It combines control functions, user-friendly handling, operational reliability, and digital connectivity within a single platform.
Designed for azimuth thrusters, transverse thrusters, and controllable pitch propellers, the system can be modularly adapted to a wide range of vessel types and propulsion configurations, ensuring the appropriate functions and operating modes for any propulsion configuration.
Control system for advanced control tasks
The growing focus on more efficient vessel and propulsion solutions presents operators with new challenges in terms of control and automation. With PropControl 4, SCHOTTEL offers a propulsion control system for applications that go beyond conventional propeller control. For example, the system supports mechanical-hybrid propulsion concepts, the combination of combustion engines and electric motors through Power Take-In (PTI) and Power Take-Off (PTO) functions. In addition, a wide range of operating modes is available for different application requirements, enabling, among other things, straightforward propulsion control of dual-fuel engines, the use of the propulsion system during firefighting operations, and various other applications.
