Propulsion Control Panel
We replaced the SEI 500 control system on this fishing vessel. All functions are now controlled electronically. This provides an advantage for timing and reliability.
This panel controls the throttle actuator for a CAT 399 engine. The Ram up time can be programmed. The shaft brake timing is now optimized to extent the live on the brake pads. The Ceram valves shift the hydraulic gear using the WABCO 1-0-1 shift cylinder.
Pneumatic final control elements provide a simple and very durable way to control engine speed and clutch engagement.
