The Kongsberg RAO-8XE is a Remote Analogue Output Module designed for use within Kongsberg Maritime control system architectures. As a dedicated analogue output unit, it is responsible for distributing precisely conditioned analogue signals to field devices and actuators, enabling accurate monitoring and command execution across onboard automation networks. This type of module plays a critical role in Marine Control Systems where reliable signal integrity and consistent output performance are essential to safe vessel operations.
Key Features
✓ Functions as a remote analogue output module, delivering conditioned analogue signals to connected field instrumentation and actuators within the control network.
✓ Revision C hardware with associated change order CO-23415/A, confirming a documented engineering revision history — specific electrical ratings and output ranges are subject to confirmation against system documentation.
✓ Designed for integration within Kongsberg Maritime control system platforms; compatibility with specific panels, controllers, or subsystems should be verified against the vessel’s system configuration.
✓ Intended for installation within protected, dry control cabinet environments typical of Kongsberg automation system racks; mounting and environmental requirements depend on the specific installation context.
✓ As a line-replaceable module within a distributed control architecture, the RAO-8XE supports straightforward substitution during service intervals, helping to minimise system downtime during maintenance.
Marine Applications
✓ Integrated into Kongsberg Maritime automation and control systems aboard offshore vessels, platform supply vessels, and advanced merchant ships.
✓ Used within dynamic positioning (DP) system infrastructures where precise analogue output signals are required for thruster and actuator control.
✓ Applied in cargo handling and ballast control automation systems requiring distributed analogue output modules for valve and pump management.
✓ Deployed in engine room automation networks where multiple analogue output channels are needed to interface with instrumentation and control devices.
✓ Suitable for any vessel class operating Kongsberg Maritime distributed control architectures that rely on modular remote I/O configurations.
