What is INTERSCHALT A067.74-VDR EOT BUS CONTROLLER REV C?
The INTERSCHALT A067.74-VDR EOT BUS Controller Rev C is a dedicated PCB module designed for integration with seagoing Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) systems, in particular with reference to EOT (Engine Order Telegraph) signals. Developed by INTERSCHALT, an established brand in marine electronics, the controller serves as an important communication interface between ship command systems and the VDR unit, ensuring proper recording and monitoring of engine orders.
This controller receives command signals, digitizes them for data transmission, and forwards them to the VDR. It is a heavy-duty, engineered device ideal for the tough conditions found in marine environments and is widely used in commercial ships, cargo vessels, and passenger fleets.
Major Features
MTBUS Communication Interface
