The Carling Technologies® OctoPlex® system puts the user in complete control of all AC and DC loads within the vessel. Utilizing an NMEA 2000® CAN bus network, system reliability and safety are achieved through a redundant architecture that eliminates single point failures. The OctoPlex system offers significant weight reduction in wiring and reduced installation complexity, while also allowing for the monitoring and control of common NMEA 2000 marine devices, such as compass, GPS, tank level adapters and more. Field-replaceable AC and DC circuit breakers can be controlled remotely through the NMEA 2000 network, allowing panels to be placed in remote locations, thereby eliminating the need for traditional large electrical panels.
Through the use of a Multi-Function Display, Carling Technologies has created a fully configurable and/or customizable user interface. Acting as the main human interface of the system, the Multi-Function Display brings the system functions, status reports and alarms directly to the user. The OctoPlex G2-Series suite of products also includes the Network Power Supply (NPS), Battery Monitor, System Interface Unit Monitor (SIU), AC Monitor, AC Distribution Units (8, 13, & 19 positions) & DC Distribution Units (8 & 16 positions).
