Fieldbus and PLC interfaces
CAN, CANopen and Modbus.
CAN and CANopen
- Connects CAN and CANopen devices such as joysticks, operator panels and drives.
- Each joystick axis and button is linked to the matching function in the simulator, with scaling and inversion where needed.
- If a device drops out, the simulation keeps running and picks the device up again when it reconnects.
Modbus and PLCs
- Connects to Modbus devices such as PLCs and crane chairs.
- Commands go to the simulator, and sensor values, positions, loads and vessel motion come back.

Crane chair over Modbus
A crane chair with its own control system, connected over Modbus to our crane model on a heavy-lift vessel crane simulator, with a switch between our control system and the chair's own.
CANopen joysticks
CANopen joysticks for crane and winch control, with configurable bit rate and node ID.
Azimuth controls
Azimuth controls over CAN.
Control panels
Our own panels with microcontroller-based CAN nodes.
