LION sailing yacht automation
We brought the sailing yacht's lighting, power, tank and pump systems onto one automation platform, run by a Fultek PLC and three touch HMIs.
About the project
We built LION's automation from the ground up. A Fultek CPU 202 PLC with 32 digital input, 32 digital output and 8 analogue input modules gathers the yacht's lighting, power, tank and pump systems.
Three 10.1" Fultek FOCUS HMIs share the same interface: power, tanks, lighting, pumps and alarms are monitored and controlled the same way from every screen. Lighting is run by cruise, sail, backup and anchor modes, and the console also carries a manual switch panel for the fore, mid, engine, aft, underwater, mast and boom lights.
