2.1 System Description
The Optimus 360 Joystick Control System builds on the base Optimus
Electronic Power Steering (EPS) system. It uses the same helm, PCM,
power steering pumps, service valves and smart steering cylinders.
It also operates using the same CANbus networks (CAN1, CAN2,
and the optional CAN3). It differs from the base Optimus system in
that it includes a joystick and advanced control algorithms to enable
complete vessel control using the engine manufacturer's Electronic
Shift and Throttle (EST) system.
Like the Optimus EPS, the Optimus 360 system can support
multiple control stations.
