The Kongsberg RHUB200-5 (Part No. 603442) is a Remote Hub Module in the RIO200 distributed I/O platform used by Kongsberg Maritime. It acts as the communication hub between Remote Controller Units (RCUs) and distributed RIO200 I/O modules, enabling reliable, deterministic data exchange in marine automation systems. It is used in systems such as K-Chief, K-Safe, K-Pos, and K-Thrust.
The RHUB200-5 is identified in Kongsberg’s hardware documentation as Datasheet No. 312740 and is included in certified K-Chief and Dynamic Positioning hardware platforms.
