The noriStar propulsion control system (PCS), also known as remote control system (RCS) for ships, is an electronic system that controls, monitors, regulates and automates the operation and performance of a ship's propulsion system.
It involves the control of engines, gears, propellers and other propulsion components to ensure efficient and safe navigation.
Whether conventional, hybrid, or fully electric propulsion, noriStar controls all types and sizes of ships. The system can be configured for multiple control stations and is suitable for various propulsion systems:
Our propulsion control is based on our proven noriSys 4 automation platform. Specifically designed for maritime use, it features a reliable multi-master architecture. With central control modules and additional I/O components, the system can be expanded as needed. Another advantage is the approval by all major ship classification societies.
The core of the propulsion control noriStar 4 is an independent automation software according to IEC 61131. The open system architecture makes it easy to integrate systems and components from third-party providers.
The remote control components communicate using various proven interfaces and protocols:
The button backlighting can be controlled individually and independently of the signal lights.
Through the integration of existing electronic components and the optional customisation of front foil designs, large, customer-specific bridge panels can also be designed, for example, for yachts. Read more about bridge design
The noriStar EOT system ensures a secure command transmission. The order is transmitted from the bridge to the engine room via the touch of a button, where it is then signalled visually and acoustically on one or more telegraphs. The staff in the engine room need to acknowledge the order to make the visual and acoustic alarm stop.
The emergency order telegraph system is flexible and scalable, meaning it is suitable for small applications with just two devices (e.g. bridge and in engine room) right up to large installations with several systems (multiple bridges and engine rooms). Different device versions are available for use on the bridge, aft bridge or in the engine control room. Read more about EOT

Green since 1925 - at least our company name is. High time to do it justice. Our goal for 2023: To become more sustainable and increase environmental friendliness at Noris.
One of our latest projects, in this case for Saudi Aramco, revolves around an unusual refit, because this time we are not on the ship, but underneath it.
