Marine joysticks are control input hardware converting motion commands into electrical signals. With controller thrust allocation, they enable berthing/unberthing, DP, and multi-thruster control, easing low-speed operations.
I. Product Positioning: A marine joystick is control input hardware, not a complete joystick control system. It converts surge, sway, and yaw commands into electrical signals, while the higher-level controller performs thrust allocation and actuator coordination. It does not directly drive thrusters; its analog output must be processed by a PLC, signal conditioning circu...
