Page 3-2 Robertson AP45 Autopilot Design and theory of operation Simrad Robe rtson AS Egersund - Norway In order to stop t he rudder movement, a feedba ck signal is produced from the feed back unit. The feedback sig nal will be co mpared with the compass sig nal and when there is a balan ce betwe en the two, the sole noid will be de- energ ised.
Robertson AP45 Autopilot Design and theory of operation Simrad Robe rtson AS Egersund - Norway Page 3-3 The rudder feedback unit trans mits rudder angle information to the cont rol unit and rudder angle indicat ors. It is mounted clos e to the rudder stock and mechanically co nnected to the rudd er tiller arm by a transmissio n link.
