Deckbus: Marine Backbone

Deckbus is an offline marine instrument-backbone planner for refits, owner-builders, installers, educators, and technicians who want the network drawn before cable enters a chase. Place displays, sensors, controls, gateways, and the power tap along a linear backbone. Record individual drops, load-equivalent values, current, and notes; then screen termination count, backbone and drop limits, node placement, aggregate load, and conservative node voltage from the entered cable resistance and power location. KEY FEATURES - Linear backbone topology chart - Device, position, drop, load, and current roster - Two-terminator topology check - Individual and aggregate drop-length screens - Backbone-length and load-equivalent screens - Editable power injection and cable-resistance model - Conservative per-node voltage estimate - Local installation PDF brief - 300 original offline technical plates - No account, ads, analytics, tracking, IAP, or subscription Deckbus models a generic low-voltage marine instrument backbone. Confirm the current standard, certified components, connector families, device manuals, LEN values, cable ratings, protection, grounding, topology, and installation with a qualified marine electronics professional.
