CPAC Systems - Marine Vehicle Control System Computer Networks

As a world-class integrator in embedded control systems, CPAC Systems provides the marine industry with vehicle control systems.

CPAC Systems designs and produces electronic control systems for marine vehicles with duties in tough environmental circumstances. Their offer includes project consultancy as well as hardware and embedded software with a focus on safety-critical functionality.

MARINE VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEMS

CPAC Marine Control Systems are non-branded products. This means that the end user's benefits in terms of safety, comfort, performance and increased industrial efficiency contribute to strengthening the OEMs own brand. This leads to increased demand for related products and services from boat-owners.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM PLATFORM

CPAC Systems' electronic platform is developed based on state-of-the-art technology with tests and experience from control systems in environments where absolute reliability is crucial - aircrafts, cars, ships etc.

One of CPAC Systems' major customers is Volvo Penta, for whom the company has developed the EVC system as a part of the revolutionary IPS system with the unique joystick for docking.

The expandable platform provides upgrading capability over time, enabling flexibility, reliability and extended operating economy.

Engine control, instrumentation, accessories, diagnostics, fault handling, service tools etc. are integrated in the CAN Bus based platform. The CPAC platform support is scalable, enabling a standardized solution for customized installations.

COMPUTER NETWORK MARINE VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM SOLUTIONS

There are several technological principles in which control systems in marine vehicles can be built, e.g. analogue signals, wires, and hydraulics systems. The CPAC solution - a computer network - provides several advantages:

• Lower cable volume needed
• Easy installation
• Flexible solutions
• High quality from extended testing and Volvo Group’s development requirements
• Cost effective, robust design

MARINE CONTROL SYSTEMS DEVELOPED AND PRODUCED FOR TOUGH DUTY

Control systems that use computer technology provide great possibilities to control functions that can't be achieved with conventional technology. However, installing this kind of system in environments where there is a risk of influence from so many other systems is not an easy task. The control system must work totally safe 'in real life', in tough duty, with eliminated risk of disturbance from other systems.

SHORT TIME-TO-MARKET AND SHORT TIME-TO-REVENUE

Thanks to the role as a major producer for Volvo Penta's market segment, CPAC Systems can offer OEMs in other segments:

• Quick access to a platform/stand-alone control unit at low initial costs, resulting in short time-to-market and short time-to-revenue
• Functionality, quality level and costs at a level right from the start that you see in mature production lines
• Core values such as safety, quality and environmental concern
• A strong brand – CPAC Marine Control System is a non-branded product within the OEM's total offer.

When it comes to vehicles in tough environments, CPAC can provide a ready-to-use control system for engine suppliers or OEMs.
