Features

The PMS is a stand alone unit and works in the following way:

A pendulum potentiometer located on the inboard arm measures the angle of the inboard arm with respect to vertical.
A pendulum potentiometer located on the outboard arm measures the angle of the outboard arm with respect to vertical.
A direct coupled potentiometer located at the base riser swivel joint measures the slewing angle.
Information from the potentiometers is relayed through a PC hooked to the local control panel.

Features include:

Remote maintenance
Display redirection via TCP/IP or modem
