RT-flex
WECS-9520 WECS-9520 External Backup panels deliver manoeuvring signals and fuel commands to WECS inputs, independent from the RC inputs channels WECS supplies a fuel command feedback as load signal to the RC system Functions (plus VEO) included in WECS Bus-system
Load signal
RC receives load signal from angle transmitter on intermediate shaft Functions provided in RC system Individual cables
