Raymarine SPX-SOL SmartPilot Course Computer

R18160
The Raymarine SPX-SOL is the course computer at the heart of an SPX SmartPilot autopilot system for boats with solenoid-controlled hydraulic steering. It is designed to operate constant running (CR) hydraulic pumps and drives fitted with bypass valves and solenoids. An internal GyroPlus rate sensor is fitted as standard, and the computer connects to the autopilot controller and instruments through SeaTalk and SeaTalkng.

Description

The Raymarine SPX-SOL is the intelligent course computer used in SPX SmartPilot autopilot systems on boats with solenoid-operated hydraulic steering. It is specifically designed to control constant running (CR) hydraulic pumps and drives that use bypass valves and solenoids, providing smooth, powerful steering for larger hydraulic systems.

At the centre of the autopilot, the SPX-SOL processes heading, rudder and course information and applies Raymarine's proven SmartPilot steering algorithms, including AutoLearn and AutoTrim, for accurate course keeping. An internal GyroPlus rate sensor is fitted as standard to enhance performance in demanding sea conditions. On an SPX-SOL system the drive type is configured automatically, so commissioning focuses on the vessel type and seatrial.

The course computer is the central connection point for the system. It provides SeaTalk and SeaTalkng networking for the autopilot control head and other Raymarine instruments, plus NMEA 0183 for navigation data from a compatible chartplotter or GPS. The SPX-SOL must be commissioned before use following the Raymarine SPX setup procedure.
