E-STEER Electronic Steering Systems
The E-STEER system represents BCS Marine’s most advanced solution for electronic vessel steering control. Based on a steer-by-wire architecture, it combines the precision of digital control with the reliability of hydraulic actuation, ensuring high performance, driving comfort and maximum operational safety.
Thanks to its modular and fully customizable architecture, E-STEER can be configured to meet the specific requirements of each vessel, from large pleasure craft to professional and commercial units.
The independent control of each rudder by the central CPU allows advanced steering strategies to be implemented, improving maneuverability, turning precision and the dynamic response of the system.
Digital communication between components and continuous monitoring of rudder position ensure smooth, quiet and precise operation, minimizing maintenance requirements and simplifying integration with other onboard systems.
Benefit
Advanced Functions
The advanced control functions available with E-STEER make it possible to implement steering logics normally reserved for higher-end marine systems, improving maneuverability, safety and driving comfort.
Differential Steering
Thanks to the independent control of the rudders, E-STEER can automatically apply different rudder angles to the port and starboard rudders during turning.
Dynamic Rudder Angle Limitation
To increase safety and comfort at high speeds, the system can automatically limit the maximum rudder angle according to vessel speed or engine rpm.
Modular Architecture
The modular architecture of E-STEER allows the system to be configured and expanded according to the specific requirements of each project.
