Accessories are supported via an accessory port on ROV that includes power and an interface to the APIC
(Auxiliary Pair of Independent Conductors). The tether includes an APIC for dedicated communications to the
topside, where the conductors can be accessed at the AUX connector on the control panel. The ROV
communications bus is also exposed on the accessory port of the ROV allowing a direct interface between
VideoRay Cockpit software and the accessory.
Most accessories, with the exception of the manipulator and cutter, use a stackable pass through connector that
allows multiple accessories to be connected in parallel.
The accessory port must be sealed with a terminated accessory connector or the accessory port
terminator dummy plug. Failure to seal the accessory port may lead to loss of control of the ROV or damage to
the components.
The specifications for the ROV accessory port can be found in the
Guide
The specifications for the control panel AUX port can be found in the
