Lilaas L01 Control

Full type approval has been granted to the new generation ‘plug and play’ L01 control lever, opening the way for widespread uptake of the integrated electronic shaft system technology Norwegian supplier Lilaas believes will change the ship control sector. The all-electric L01 has secured type approval from DNV covering International Association of Classification Societies E10 standards for control units, EN60945 standards for Marine Navigation Equipment, and the International Protection standard IP56 covering protection against access to hazardous parts, ingress of solid foreign objects and water.
The L01 can be used for Azimuth, single and double thruster/propulsion control. It features a distinctive integral display that can be customized to suit individual users, with all information available in one place. The all-electric configuration also means that the L01 requires a very shallow space beneath the lever. However, one of the L01’s most compelling feature is its drop-in installation and the fact that force feedback is achieved without intermediary motors.
