S-link™ Logo

S-link™ is a CAN-based control system with full intelligent communication between all units in the system, much like a computer network.

Main advantages include:
  • Round, compact and waterproof connectors with unique keying and color coding to avoid faulty hookup
  • Unlimited number of commands or information transferred on a single cable
  • User feedback at panel
  • Intelligent troubleshooting

Examples 1 & 2:

S-link™ system for boats with two control positions and two DC proportional thrusters. Depending on the boat's construction, there might be several different ways to route the S-link™ backbone. Find the most practical way to implement the backbone and remember that the S-link™ equipment does not need to be connected in a specific order.

Example 3:

S-link™ system for boats with one control position and one retractable thruster.

Example 4:

S-link™ system for boats with one control position and two DC proportional retractable thrusters.
