MPC100 powertrain control system compatible with full Cat engine line and major marine transmission systems
Caterpillar Marine has introduced an ergonomic powertrain control system designed to bring advanced functionality to leisure yachts. Designed for yachts, sportfishing boats and light commercial applications, the new MPC100 is designed to provide engine and transmission control for either single or twin-engine configurations with up to eight command stations.
“The new MPC100 is capable of performing in extreme conditions and provides operators with reliable efficiency at any given time,” says Caterpillar Marine global head of yachting, Alex Berg. “Additionally, the main processor of MPC100 incorporates an innovative built-in redundancy system that supports backup power to ensure safe and continuous operation of the main control systems. There are a variety of configuration options making the MPC100 suitable for control of powertrain arrangements in various marine applications.”
Advanced integration capabilities and plug-and-play installation and full compatiblity with major marine transmission systems make the MPC100 suitable for both OEM and retrofit applications. Now shipping, the control works with all Caterpillar marine engines including the company’s new 2,025hp C32B.
