Digital Switching

Enhance control, simplify wiring, and increase onboard reliability.

The MRS Digital Switching Solution replaces traditional mechanical switches with intelligent digital interfaces, delivering seamless integration, advanced monitoring, and reduced cabling. By connecting control panels, sensors, and actuators through a digital network, it replaces bulky wire runs and physical switches with programmable electronic modules and displays.

The flexibility of Digital switching Control Solution allows development of fully customized specialty products. By combining electronic control units like our CAN controllers, PLCs, relays, and HMIs into innovative solutions, we create tailored systems that meet the precise needs of our OEMs and system integrators, ensuring optimal boat or yacht performance.

Key advantages 

c

Installation & Space Efficiency

Minimize cabling and reduce installation complexity. Ideal for new builds and retrofits. Our decentralized architecture allows flexible placement of modules throughout the vessel.

Increased System Reliability

Increased System Reliability

Our digital switching architecture eliminates mechanical points of failure and supports redundancy for mission-critical operations. All components are built to withstand extreme marine conditions.

Intelligent Monitoring

Intelligent Monitoring 

Real-time feedback and diagnostics are available through integrated displays or remote interfaces. Detect circuit status, current draw, fault conditions, and more, before they become critical issues.

How it works  

Control commands from digital panels or HMIs are transmitted via CAN to control units distributed throughout the boat. These units manage actuators, lighting, and power modules, enabling intelligent automation and centralized monitoring.

  1. Input commands via touchscreen or app
  2. Digital switching module processes sensor signals
  3. Electrical devices are activated accordingly

  1. Control lighting, climate, pumps, and safety systems from a single touchscreen.
  2. Create personalized scenes, from daytime navigation to evening ambience.
  3. Save energy and maximize comfort with smart automation.
  4. Free up space by replacing traditional switches and reducing installation complexity.

FAQ

What can be monitored and controlled with MRS digital switching?
With MRS digital switching, almost every onboard electrical system can be monitored and controlled from a single display. This includes lighting, pumps, HVAC systems, entertainment, navigation equipment, and safety systems.
By replacing mechanical switches with solid-state technology, digital switching not only simplifies control but also enables automation - such as timed lighting scenes, automatic bilge activation, and integration with navigation data for smarter vessel operations.

How does MRS digital switching integrate with existing marine electronics?
Digital switching integrates seamlessly with onboard marine electronics using standards like CAN bus or NMEA 2000®. It connects to multifunction displays, navigation systems, and automation platforms, enabling centralized control of lighting, pumps, HVAC, and more - all from a single interface.

Can MRS digital switching be customized for different boat models?
Yes. Digital switching platforms can be programmed to match the unique layout, functionality, and brand style of each vessel. From control labels and screen layouts to automation sequences and safety features, customization ensures a tailored user experience for every boat model.

What maintenance or updates are required for MRS digital switching?
Digital switching requires minimal maintenance, as there are no moving contacts to wear out. Software updates can add features or improve compatibility, and some systems support remote diagnostics to detect and resolve issues without bringing the boat into port.
