Accessories are supported via an accessory port on ROV that includes power and an interface to the APIC (Auxiliary Pair of Independent Conductors). The tether includes an APIC for dedicated communications to the topside, where the conductors can be accessed at the AUX connector on the control panel. The ROV communications bus is also exposed on the accessory port of the ROV allowing a direct interface between VideoRay Cockpit software and the accessory.

Most accessories, with the exception of the manipulator and cutter, use a stackable pass through connector that allows multiple accessories to be connected in parallel.

The accessory port must be sealed with a terminated accessory connector or the accessory port terminator dummy plug. Failure to seal the accessory port may lead to loss of control of the ROV or damage to the components.

The specifications for the ROV accessory port can be found in the Accessory Port section of the Equipment Guide
