“Multiplexed Power Distribution” Definition
-
The Word “Multiplexed” because multiple control and status signals are transmitted over the same network cable
-
The Words “Power Distribution” because the Power Panels are distributed throughout the vessel as opposed to a central
location |
- Multiplexed Power Distribution Benefits
> Reduced Wire (Panels are Distributed Closer to Loads)
> Reduced Labor (Shorter Runs to Loads)
> Reduced Weight (Less Wire on Vessel)
> Monitor and Control AC and DC Circuit Breakers from Multiple Places on the Vessel
> Enhanced DC circuit breaker functionality; No-load or Burnt Out Bulb Indication, Dimming and Indicated
Current Consumption
> Remote Monitoring and Control (Monitor and Control AC and DC Circuits from Anywhere in the World)
> Remote Diagnostic and Configuration (Increased Serviceability)
> Industry Standard Network NMEA 2000 (Aftermarket Navigation Equipment Plugs Into Existing Backbone) |
