The Consilium SAL R1A Speed Log Main Unit ELC (703800) is the central electronics and processing unit of the SAL R1A electromagnetic speed log system. As the primary control board unit (PCBU), it manages signal acquisition, processing, and output for accurate vessel speed and distance measurement through water. This unit plays a critical role in onboard navigation systems, providing reliable data to ECDIS, autopilot, and other integrated bridge systems. Accurate speed-over-water data is essential for voyage planning, fuel optimisation, and compliance with navigational watch requirements.
Key Features
✓ Functions as the core processing and control board unit (PCBU) within the Consilium SAL R1A electromagnetic speed log system, managing all primary signal processing tasks.
✓ Carries specific firmware and boot software revisions (BOOT 700209 REV.A2 and SW 700210 REV.E4), ensuring compatibility with the SAL R1A system architecture — firmware versions should be verified prior to installation.
✓ Designed for integration within the SAL R1A speed log system by Consilium Marine & Safety AB; compatibility with other Consilium speed log variants is subject to confirmation.
✓ Typically installed within the main unit enclosure in a protected electronics space or navigation equipment cabinet; exact environmental ratings are subject to confirmation based on the full system configuration.
✓ As a direct replacement PCBU, this unit supports maintenance and service continuity for vessels operating the SAL R1A speed log, minimising navigational downtime during repairs.
Marine Applications
✓ Commercial cargo vessels and bulk carriers requiring continuous speed-over-water data for voyage and trim optimisation.
✓ Tankers and gas carriers where accurate speed log data supports both navigational safety and charter party reporting requirements.
✓ Container ships and ro-ro vessels integrating speed log output with ECDIS and automated bridge systems for enhanced situational awareness.
✓ Offshore support vessels and platform supply vessels relying on precise speed measurement for dynamic positioning reference and manoeuvrability.
✓ Passenger vessels and ferries where speed log data feeds into integrated navigation and voyage management systems on the bridge.
