Voltage and current of KONGSBERG RCU502

The KONGSBERG RCU502 Remote Control Unit adopts DC power supply for marine and offshore automation systems. Its operating supply voltage range is 10 VDC to 28.8 VDC, with 24 VDC as the nominal rated voltage, adapting to the standard 24V DC power network on vessels and platforms.

Under normal steady operation at 24 VDC supply, the typical operating current is 0.8 A. The maximum continuous operating current is rated at 2.0 A at 24 VDC. A higher inrush start-up current occurs during power-on initialization, which should be considered when designing power distribution and circuit protection.

The typical power consumption under regular working load is 20 W. It supports optional redundant power input configuration to improve system stability for safety-critical marine control applications.

Wiring Information – KONGSBERG RCU502

Connection Type: Spring-cage terminal block connection

Power Wiring: Equipped with dual redundant 24 VDC power input interfaces. Strict polarity compliance (+ / -) is required; PE protective earth connection must be implemented.

Communication Wiring:

✦ Dual redundant CAN Bus interface, supporting daisy-chain topology

✦ Shielded twisted-pair cables are mandatory for communication links

✦ 120 Ω terminating resistors shall be mounted at two extremities of the CAN bus trunk

I/O Signal Wiring:

✦ Analog and digital field devices are wired to dedicated terminal modules mounted on I/O sub-boards

✦ Analog signal circuits require shielded twisted cables

✦ Single-point grounding for all signal shielding layers

Cabling Requirements: Separate cable routing for power cables, communication cables and I/O signal cables in different ducts to mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI)

Important Precaution: Ensure complete power isolation prior to any wiring work. Installation shall comply with official wiring schematics and specified tightening torque values.
