ZF Joystick JMS
ZF Joystick Maneuvering System (JMS™)
Simplified vessel handling through the ZF joystick control
Advantages
- Joystick vessel control at low speed
- Easy maneuvering in tight spaces through joystick interface
- Keeps vessel automatically in position against wind and current
- Works with traditional propeller shaft-line systems
Joystick Manoeuvring System (JMS™)
Controlling engines, transmissions, and thrusters in a traditional shaft-line vessel, ZF JMS provides the same ease of control as expected from pod drive systems.
Maneuvers such as moving sideways to the dock, 360° rotation on the spot, and other complicated maneuvers, difficult with standard control levers, become easy operations. The electronic JMS system also controls the throttle of the engines and shifts the transmissions to provide the precise speed needed for smooth maneuvering and easy docking. This means driving a pleasure craft becomes even more pleasurable, simple, and safe!
Function
It is possible to install up to 6 joystick stations enabling maneuvering of the boat from any location.
JMS, with all its options, can be retrofitted in existing vessels with an electronic engine interface, ZF transmissions, and SmartCommand control systems.
JMS can interface with many markets available DC or hydraulic bow thrusters.
