NautoSteer Advanced Steering Control
The NautoSteer® AS Advanced Steering Control System is designed accordingly to fail to safe principles. All components of the steering control system are connected via reliable CAN-bus technology.
NautoSteer Advanced Steering control is a sophisticated steering control system for customers that require reliability, safety and an outstanding functional range.
NautoSteer Advanced Steering control provides important safety features such as wire break monitoring, steering failure monitoring and data integrity monitoring as a standard. Two independent steering modes, “NFU Direct” and “Main” provide a fallback position in emergency situations and allow fast and safe decision making when time is crucial.
The operator benefits from a user-friendly and intuitive design of all system components and from advanced functions like a central alarm reset and central dimming or take-over of steering control positions.
