For optimum performance and reliability, these exclusive engine control and
monitoring systems are specifically designed for Caterpillar electronic marine
propulsion engines.
mini marine power Display (mpD)
The Mini MPD is a compact, selfcontained
engine monitoring and display
system that provides the operator with
engine and transmission information. The
screen layouts can be easily configured
to suit individual format preferences. In
the event of an engine or transmission
problem, an audible alarm alerts the
operator and a text window with
diagnostic information appears on the screen. The high-resolution transflective
screen improves readability as ambient light conditions change.
color marine power Display (mpD)
The Color MPD combines all of the
functionality and simplicity of the
MPD with the ability to monitor two
engines on a single display. Now,
customizing the individual screen layout
for up to three operators can be done
directly from the display unit. Other
enhancements include a significantly
brighter screen display with adjustable intensity and twice the resolution to
sharpen the streaming video being displayed from up to four camera inputs.
marine Analog power Display (mApD)
MAPD is an innovative system of electronically
controlled analog gauges that monitor
engine operation, offering accuracy
and dependability with visual
simplicity. Two sizes of gauges are
available with choices of gauge face
colors and bezel finishes. All gauges are LED backlighted and automatically
calibrated. Up to 12 individual gauges or the convenient MAPD panel with up to
seven gauges can be easily installed.
multi-station control system (mscs)
MSCS provides engine and transmission
control for single or dual engine
applications with up to eight control
stations installed throughout the vessel.
Control of the engine and transmission can
be easily transferred from one station to
another. A fully redundant backup system
is included to ensure propulsion system
operation in the event of a failure to the
primary control system. In addition to the eight primary control stations, eight
backup stations per vessel can also be installed. Transmission shift logic contains
anti-stall strategy to prevent stalling the engine during quick shifting maneuvers.
Several control head options are available for convenience and to coordinate
with the vessel’s interior design.
