Description
KONGSBERG NORCONTROL
NAME: RDO-16
REMOTE DIGITAL OUTPUT MODULE
PART#: 8100155
HA451675A
REV: B2
AUE-546
The Kongsberg Norcontrol RDO-16 is a Remote Digital Output Module designed for use within distributed marine control systems. As a digital output interface component, it handles the switching and control of discrete output signals, allowing centralised control systems to command field devices, actuators, and indicators across the vessel. Operating as part of the Kongsberg Norcontrol automation architecture, this module plays a critical role in ensuring accurate and responsive digital command delivery in integrated shipboard control environments. Its reliable performance is essential to the safe and efficient operation of automated systems across a wide range of vessel types.
Key Features
✓ Functions as a remote digital output module, providing discrete output signal control for field devices within a distributed marine automation system.
✓ Identified by part number 8100155 Rev B2, confirming a specific hardware revision — voltage ratings, channel count, and electrical specifications are subject to confirmation based on system configuration.
✓ Designed for compatibility within the Kongsberg Norcontrol control system architecture; integration with specific panels, controllers, or network nodes is subject to confirmation against the vessel’s system documentation.
✓ Intended for installation in a controlled onboard environment typical of automation equipment spaces; mounting configuration and enclosure requirements depend on the host system cabinet and installation context.
✓ As a replacement module, sourcing the correct hardware revision is important to maintain system integrity — Rev B2 designation ensures compatibility with the relevant generation of Kongsberg Norcontrol control equipment.
Marine Applications
✓ Integrated bridge and automation systems aboard merchant vessels including bulk carriers, tankers, and container ships requiring distributed digital output control.
✓ Machinery control and monitoring systems where remote switching of actuators, alarms, or auxiliary equipment outputs is managed from a central control station.
✓ Offshore support vessels and platform supply vessels utilising Kongsberg Norcontrol automation platforms for dynamic positioning and vessel management systems.
✓ Ro-Ro and passenger ferries where distributed control modules are used to manage multiple onboard systems from integrated automation networks.
✓ Naval and coastguard vessels equipped with modular Kongsberg control architectures requiring reliable digital output interfacing across multiple system zones.
