PROGRAMMABLE AUTOMATIC TRIM CONTROL SYSTEM FOR MARINE APPLICATIONS

摘要

A programmable automatic trim control system (1) for marine applications preferably includes a controller (10), a control panel (12), at least one display device (14) and a plurality of sensors (16). The controller (10) receives input from the control panel (12) and the plurality of sensors (16). Each display device (14) shows various data from the controller (10). Each sensor monitors a single drive device (20), trim device (22) or operational parameter. The controller (10) further includes output ports connected to the drive devices (20) and trim devices (22) for the control thereof. The trim control system (1) preferably includes a manual mode, a diagnostic mode, a program mode and an automatic mode. The positions and/or settings of the trim (22) and drive (20) devices and operational parameters are set in the program mode and recorded in the controller (10). Data stored in the controller (10) is accessed and utilized by the trim control system (1) when in the automatice mode.
