Replacing the AP70 and AP80 as the IMO\/SOLAS autopilot controller, it combines the proven Simrad Pro platform with a bright display, modern software interface, precision rotary control dial, and dedicated buttons for quick access to steering modes. This control head is designed for responsive, robust, and straightforward operation in demanding marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWheelmarked for SOLAS vessels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWheelmarked for use aboard SOLAS vessels under applicable IMO and MED-B requirements, the AP70 Mk2 is suitable for applications ranging from workboats to large commercial ships. Advanced configuration and tuning options allow performance to be adjusted for vessel dynamics, hull type, weather conditions, operating situations, and retrofit installations. The controller supports common rudder and drive configurations, including water jets, azimuth pods, Voith-Schneider systems, rudders, and outboards, with control interfaces for hydraulic pumps, solenoids, analog current or voltage signals, and handshake signals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible steering and integration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe AP70 Mk2 supports integration of up to six rudders or thrusters, including dual rudders and fore-and-aft thrusters for complex installations and redundancy. Heavy-duty Simrad rudder feedback systems are supported. Configurable low-speed, high-speed, and Work modes help optimize steering response for different operating conditions, including fully laden vessels and situations requiring specific thruster usage. No Drift steering uses GPS position data to compensate for wind and tide, while navigation steering enables route following from compatible Simrad multifunction displays, Simrad ECDIS, or third-party MFD and ECDIS systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommand transfer and multiple control stations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor multi-controller installations, command transfer allows the officer of the watch to manage autopilot control between secondary AP70 Mk2 units and remote stations, including bridge wing, above-deck, or aft-bridge locations.
