PowerPlex®. Digital Switching. Smarter Boats.

Growing demand for convenience and functionality on-board requires new state-of-the-art technology for a boat’s electrical system. Trying to accomplish this with traditional technology comes with a tremendous amount of wiring and mounting effort - not to mention weight. Most of the requested features like power management, alarm systems or monitoring are often independent systems. Now, all of these functions are integrated into E-T-A’s PowerPlex® System.

What is E-T-A PowerPlex®?
E-T-A PowerPlex® is a decentralized, user configurable power distribution system. It is optimized for marine applications based on CAN-Bus technology. The system is configured with E-T-A’s configuration software that runs on a standard Windows PC. This easy to use software makes it possible to program each PowerPlex® system to the boat’s individual requirements.

E-T-A PowerPlex® provides switching and controlling, timer functions, real load status indication, overcurrent protection and wire break detection. Each function is individually programmable to fit the requirements of the different loads.

The E-T-A PowerPlex® offers a link between the look and feel of conventional technology and modern digital processing offering extensive diagnosis, monitoring and control functions. The main benefit for the boat owner besides having a modern electrical system is the integration of features like alarm and remote control.
