The Saab MaC/501 brings a completely new feature into cargo handling.

You just point a light pen on mimic diagrams displayed on colour monitors to activate a pump, open a valve, or display measurement data.

Set points for valve opening and pump speed can be entered in a graphic scale displayed on the screen.

Naturally, you can enter your commands on a keyboard too. Or you can use a tracker ball to "roll" the cursor on the screen.

Operator commands are given step by step, and graphics continuously display activated actions and monitoring data from temperature, pressure and level sensors.

Menues present all available options to guide the operator through the commands. You can even include

Programmable Logic Controllers to pre-program sequences for automated cargo handling.

The distributed configuration of Saab MaC/501 makes installation easier and provides reliable, fail safe opera- tion. Distributed substations communicates via a common

Bitbus network and can be operated independently of other parts of the system.

A special feature of Saab MaC/501 is that TankRadar can be integrated. Saab TankRadar means non-contact measurement of ullage and closed tank condition even during service and maintenance. Benefits that made us the world leading supplier of level gauges for tankers.

Saab MaC/501 is the next generation of complete cargo handling system for tankers. Why don't you fina out about the future today? Just fill in the reply coupon and we'll rush you more information. r
