Description
The Wärtsilä Lipstronic CPP (Controllable Pitch Propeller) Card (Part Number: 8100224.1A) is a specialized logic and interface printed circuit board used within the Lipstronic propulsion control systems—most notably the Lipstronic 7000 series. This module is essential for managing the interaction between the bridge control stations and the vessel’s propulsion plant, specifically handling the precise pitch adjustment and pitch-load control logic required for maneuvering.
Designed for high-reliability maritime environments, this card facilitates real-time signal processing to ensure accurate feedback loops between the propulsion control unit (PCU) and the propeller hub mechanism.
