Description
🔹 Product Description
The NORIS MARINE N3000-ISC-I is a distributed slave I/O controller module designed for the NORIS N3000 marine automation system. It functions as an independently operating slave I/O unit connected to a higher-level N3000 control architecture, providing signal acquisition, actuator control, and field device interfacing for ship automation applications.
The N3000-ISC-I is designed for marine monitoring and control systems where distributed installation is required. The module supports connection of analog and digital sensors, actuator signals, and additional plug-in I/O expansion modules. It communicates within the N3000 system architecture and is suitable for applications such as engine monitoring, machinery control, alarm systems, and vessel automation.
The unit is commonly used in existing NORIS N3000 installations for replacement, maintenance, and system expansion. Before installation, verify the exact hardware version, connected I/O modules, CAN communication settings, wiring configuration, and system parameters.
