Behind the autopilot control head is the intelligence hub of the system,
the Corepack. Consisting of an advanced course computer, fluxgate compass
and rudder feedback, the Corepack is an integral part of the autopilot
system.
Corepack components explained
Course Computer
The course computer is the intelligence behind your autopilot system.
It includes a powerful microprocessor, programmed with all the steering
know-how we've gained
over many years and hundreds of thousands of boats. The course computer
performs the main course keeping function and also houses the electronic
control circuitry
for the drive unit and power amplifier. NMEA inputs and outputs enable
it to operate easily with equipment from other manufacturers. A SeaTalk
interface provides
connection to the control head and communication with other Raymarine devices.
Fluxgate Compass
The fluxgate compass module houses a state-of-the-art electronic compass
mechanism, capable of tracking your boat's heading with incredible accuracy.
The mechanism
is gimballed, enabling it to handle pitch and roll movements up to +/-35o.
The fluxgate compass connects directly to the course computer. It mounts
on a bulkhead
below decks on most boats; if yours is a steel-decked boat, the compass
will be mounted above decks, out of the reach of magnetic interference.
Rudder Reference Transducer
This transducer performs a vital role too: it tells the course computer
the precise position of your boat's rudder at all times. the rotary
model is
most commonly
required; the linear model is used for hydraulic outboard steering
systems. The rotary model is mounted adjacent to the rudder stock,
while the optional
linear
model is mounted on the bullhorn ram of outboard engines.
