STEERING CONTROL SYSTEM HLD-SC 600-Highlander

Product Overview

HLD-SC 600 Steering Control System is based on years of intensive research & development by Beijing Highlander Digital Technology Co., Ltd. The latest generation digital steering control system has been type approved by China Classification Society (CCS) and DNV GL.

HLD-TCS 600 adopts advanced online ship-model identification and dynamic parameter tuning technology, delivering high control precision with fewer rudder movements. This effectively reduces fuel consumption and wear on the steering gear, thereby lowering the vessel's operating costs.

Functions

· Non-Follow-up steering Control

Non-Follow-up Unit using solid and reliable handle, operating feeling good.

· Follow-up steering Control

Helm wheel can be locked in every position, and the dial scale near zero degrees especially has been amplified in order to precise steering.

· Override

Support direct operate the Non-follow-up Unit to override control when on Automatic steering Control mode.

· Automatic steering Control

Support the heading control, course control, track control.

· Remote Control

Multiple remote control stations, select by Remote Control Link Unit.

Product Features

Wide range of applications

● Modular design: all modules are of a standard size or a multiple of the standard size. Different module combinations can be configured to support different system types, such as single-rudder and dual-rudder systems, hydraulic steering gear systems, torque-motor steering gear systems, and proportional-valve steering gears. ● Autopilot module available separately. ● Steering Gear Pump Starter, Steering Gear Alarm, and NFU Control Box are provided separately. ● Suitable for container ships, government/utility vessels, large bulk carriers, offshore engineering vessels, small fishing vessels, etc.

High reliability

Online self-monitoring technology detects system abnormalities at any time. Strict channel isolation technology ensures that each channel is electrically independent and fully isolated from other channels.

High control accuracy & energy efficiency

Advanced control algorithms ensure follow-up control accuracy of less than 0.3°, and better than 0.3° in Sea State 3 under automatic control mode; they also reduce steering frequency, avoid large rudder angles, save fuel, and reduce wear and tear on the steering system.

Friendly interface

Full-color 7-inch touch screen with both touch and button operation modes.

All-digital design

All-digital interfaces (IEC 61162-1), including the interface with the VDR; supports two heading source inputs.

Easy installation and maintenance

Original calibrated correction technology, simplifies Rudder Feedback Unit connecting rod installation.

Intelligent alarm system

100 records of historical alarms, each accompanied by a fault-recovery guide.

Multiple automatic control functions

Supports heading, course, and track control.

Big data logging

The system records 2 hours of heading and rudder-angle data, helping the crew review and improve their steering habits.

Remote maintenance

Maintainable remotely together with HLD-VDR 600.
