Retrofit of Propulsion & Thruster Control Systems

The 5th generation BruCon platform is a scalable and dynamic framework of hardware and software. Today, a range of control products build on the BruCon platform, and share standardized hardware, connectivity solutions, and software building blocks. Some of the products are the BruCon PTC, BruCon DP, BruCon CMS, and the list continues. See below for an overview of the propulsion and thruster control options.

BruCon PTC - the 5th generation propulsion and thruster control system

Manoeuvring and propulsion made easy and accurate with full control from bridge to blade. Brunvoll has built up decades of experience in reliable solutions for manoeuvring, positioning, and propulsion control.

Alerts and alarms give clear guidance for decision support. Early warnings enable quick intervention, reducing risk.

By monitoring sensor feedback, checking signals, and displaying statuses, BruCon PTC increases the operator's overview and control of the vessels manoeuvring and propulsion capability at all times. Examples are pitch or azimuth feedback, pressure measurements, and HPU running statuses.

The extra option of adding a BruCon Condition Monitoring System (CMS) helps to optimize vessel performance and makes it easier to plan smarter preventive maintenance for thrusters, main propellers and drive systems.
