DCS system for PG.DCS

SuperYacht Line

The Distributed Control System (DCS) is designed for the management of SPEICH windscreen wiper motors and window auxiliary devices. It consists of a microcontrollers network, integrated on board of each motor, in communication via CAN bus. For PG.DCS straight line wipers DCS system have the following features:

  • two operating modes: in perfect synchronization, both in continuous and intermittent mode, and at  the maximum wiping speed for all the wipers;
  • the management of the wipers in groups that can have different working modes, each other independent;
  • wiring simplified due to a reduced number of wires, standard connectors and items connected one to the other like in a chain;
  • great flexibility in varying the composition of the groups, modifying the park position side and adding items to the system (control panels, wipers and auxiliary devices) even after installation;
  • management of auxiliary devices (electrovalves for water).

Operation modes

CAN bus commands can be generated from a control panel, with a standard keypad from us proposed, from a gateway connected with switches installed by the customer on the consolle or directly from the integrated bridge system.

We propose the softouch panel type DCS.STN with standard graphic and customizable number of groups. This panel allows to operate up to 5 groups from 1 up to 8 wipers and allow to drive:

  • the electrovalves for window washer equipment with a predetermined washing cycle;
  • the dimmer of panel light.
  • System DCS for PG.DCS example
  • Control panel DCS description
  • Pannelli DCS

When the customer wants to compose the control panel with his own switches and lights, they can be connected to a gateway (code DCS.GW) able to communicate with the CAN bus network. With this device you can operate:

  • up to 5 groups from 1 up to 8 wipers ;
  • the electrovalve for washing system.
  • System DCS for PG.DCS with Gateway example
  • Gateway DCS.GW Dimensions
  • Gateway DCS.GW

The DCS control system can be interfaced with the integrated bridge system via a dedicated CAN bus port. In this case SPEICH company provides the protocol for the development of the necessary software. A general recommendation is to use also a backup standard panel for testing or emergency purposes.
