ComAp Announces InteliDrive 700 Marine: Designed for Engine Supervision. Built for the Future

ComAp is proud to announce the InteliDrive 700 Marine — a dedicated Engine Supervision System (ESS) engineered from the ground up for the demands of modern marine environments. It handles  any high-speed or medium-speed engine and is ready to support electronic engines as well as mechanical ones. Designed to meet the highest standards of cybersecurity and connectivity, and ready for future fuels, InteliDrive 700 Marine sets a new benchmark for marine engine management.

A dedicated marine solution
Built on ComAp's legacy of the InteliDrive DCU Marine, InteliDrive 700 Marine delivers a cyber-secure and future-fuel-ready engine supervision platform. The system is primarily designed for high-speed electronic engines, while also supporting medium-speed engines up to 10 MW, as well as mechanical engines with fixed or variable speed.

Paired with InteliGen 1000 Marine — ComAp's dedicated Power Management System — the two products now form a cohesive ecosystem that enables seamless on-board communication between power management and engine supervision. Together, they deliver dedicated, tightly integrated solutions for the most demanding marine applications.

Preprogrammed engine applications, customisation via PLC
InteliDrive 700 Marine offers dedicated applications for all key engine roles on board:

• Propulsion engines
• Auxiliary engines
• Emergency engines
• Harbour engines

Each application comes preconfigured for simplicity, while PLC allows further customisation to meet unique vessel requirements. 

Open connectivity and expandability
Engineered as an open system for seamless integration, InteliDrive 700 Marine supports:

• Ethernet with Modbus Master communication
• Multiple CAN bus interfaces with J1939 support for ECU, RPU, I/O, and power management integration
• Two plug-in expansion modules for additional Ethernet, GPS, 3-phase voltage measurement, and extended binary I/O

This open architecture unifies all critical systems on board while preserving flexibility for future upgrades.

Safety, cybersecurity, and maximum uptime
Paired with the Inteli RPU G2 safety shutdown module, InteliDrive 700 Marine ensures safe and cyber-secure operation at all times. Key safety and reliability features include:

• Safety shutdown system
• Comprehensive alarm monitoring
• Extensive history log
• User access management for enhanced cybersecurity

These capabilities ensure quick troubleshooting and maximum engine uptime — critical requirements for commercial marine operations.

A comprehensive marine ecosystem
The InteliDrive 700 Marine ecosystem includes a comprehensive range of companion products:

• Inteli RPU G2 — safety shutdown module
• I-RB8 G2 — relay board for streamlined control panel production
• InteliVision 5.2 Marine — compact marine display
• InteliVision 1050 Marine — mid-size operator panel with multi-controller support  
• InteliVision 1550 Marine — large-format marine display with multi-controller support
  
  

InteliDrive 700 Marine will be available for sales this autumn.
