000068308H6045 UMAS

Description:

The 000068308 / H6045 (commonly referred to as Rolls-Royce 000068308 H6045 UMAS) is a marine automation controller and telemetry node used within Rolls-Royce’s shipboard control systems. Operating on the 433 MHz frequency band, it functions as a remote communication and control interface in distributed marine automation architectures.
This module is part of the Rolls-Royce UMAS (Unified Monitoring and Automation System) and is designed to relay control data and sensor signals across the vessel, providing reliable real-time connectivity between localized subsystems and the central control station.

Application Scenarios:

In marine environments where cable routing is limited or system modularity is required, the 000068308 H6045 offers a wireless solution for linking distributed components such as valves, pumps, and sensors.
For example, in a ballast water or engine-room automation system, 000068308 H6045 can act as a local telemetry controller that eliminates the need for extensive wiring while maintaining fast and stable data transmission. It addresses key challenges in ship automation — reducing installation time, lowering maintenance complexity, and improving system flexibility in retrofit or expansion projects.

The 000068308 H6045 leverages a 433 MHz radio communication link to provide reliable signal transmission over short to medium distances within a vessel, minimizing the need for additional wiring.
Innovation Point 2 – UMAS System Compatibility
Fully integrated with the Rolls-Royce UMAS architecture, the module serves as a data gateway for alarm systems, pump and valve control, and tank level monitoring.
Innovation Point 3 – Marine-Hardened Construction
Engineered for harsh shipboard conditions, it is built to withstand temperature fluctuations, mechanical vibration, and salt contamination.
Innovation Point 4 – Modular Deployment
Its compact size and wireless connectivity allow placement in remote locations, ideal for distributed automation zones.
Innovation Point 5 – Upgrade and Legacy Support
The module maintains backward compatibility with earlier Rolls-Royce systems, offering a reliable upgrade path without major infrastructure changes.

Application Cases and Industry Value

In a marine retrofit project for a vessel automation system, the 000068308 H6045 was deployed to replace a wired telemetry node that had become unreliable due to harsh environmental exposure. By switching to the wireless module, the operator restored stable communication between the central control unit and local actuators without new cable installation. This resulted in significant downtime reduction and maintenance savings.
