Installing the connection unit


NOTE:

Please see drawing 102 D 885.HP005 for detailed dimenion data.

The connection Unit should preferably be bulkhead-- mounted. The distances


between mounting screws can be taken either from the dimensional drawing or
from the connection unit itself.
The connection unit is mounted by fitting 4 screws through the recesses provided (see Fig. 1/1)
5 mm wood screws should be used to fasten the unit onto wood, the length of
screw should be chosen to suit the thickness of the base.
M5 screws should be used to fasten the unit onto metal, the length of screw will
depend on the thread length in the base.

Mounting the rudder feedback unit


NOTE:

Please see dimensional drawing 101 C 528.HP005 for detailed


dimension data.

Depending on the amount of space available on board and the working range of
the rudder, one of two types of transmission can be selected.
(1)

Linkage transmission
With this type of transmission the appropriately adjusted flat steel piece
supplied with the unit must be mounted to the rudder spindle (if not already
present) in accordance with the dimensional drawing.
The transmission ratio is 1 : 1 and can be configured for operating angles
of 0 to 45. The drive shaft consists of a driving lever, two ball and sokket joints and a connection threaded round bar.
Once the driving rod has been carefully adjusted, the threaded round bar
between the two ball and socket joints should be shortened to the required
length.

Systems withup to a maximum of two feedback units will


therefore require two driving rods.
After fitting, transmission should not be endangered from
loose objects in the area of the lever.
All acbles situated in the action range of the lever must be
fastened down.

(2)

Chain drive
(Refer to dimensional drawing 101--528.HP005)
For rudder angles of max. +90 , the drive of the feedback unit should be
via chain wheels and chain.
The transmission ratio from chain drive is 2 : 1.
The tapholes (e.g. M6, depth 20mm) required for fastening the chain wheel
to the rudder stock are to be centered on the plane surface of the rudder
stock. Then the chain wheel is to be screwed on and to be pinned by
means of cylindrical pins. To ensure automatic chain tension, a chain tightener is to be mounted and to be placed in accordance with space conditions (chain tightener included in the scope of delivery).
NOTE: For systems of 2 feedback units, two chain wheels -- arranged in
parallel -- are to be centered and screwed on the plane surface of
the rudder stock, and pinned.

The Autopilot NP2015/2025 is supplied with certain ship-specific pre-configured


nautical parameter values that are necessary for the system to operate.These
parameters can be adapted or changed to suit the layout of the specific system.
Note:In principle it is necessary to configure ship-specific parameters only when
putting the system into operation for the first time, or when extending the system
(for example, after an option has been added).

Below mentioned sequence has to be followed


1. Adjusting of the rudder--feedback Circuit (Offset and Scale) by potentiometers.
If the rudder does not follow the ruddercommand, change the polarity of the
feedback supply voltage from L1.32 to L1.35.
If the rudder moves to the opposite side, change the starboard/port cable connections (see connection diagram, section 3.1.6.1)
2. Adjusting of the rudder slack and the rudder--overshoot D--Return (if necesary).
3.After adjustment the cable link between L1.10 and L1.12 has to be removed.

Adjusting the offset of the Feedback-- circuit


Activate the Offset adustment of the feeback--circiut loop (Limits/Values--key)
Set the rudder to 0 (with Set rudder value = 0).
Adjust with the offset potentiometer R 149 (I/O--PCB) the rudder to 0.

Adjustment of Rud Slack (Limits/Values).


Single Pump operation
Activate key: Limits/Value .
Rud Slack (Default--Setting=1) decrease until the rudder starts to hunt.
Increase this set value until the rudder is to stabilised.
Set nominal value to 10 (--10 ) and let the rudder run to 0 .
Continue to optimize Rud Slack if necessary. After optimized adjustment of
Rud Slack below mentioned adjustment have to be repeated:
-- Offset value with potentiometer R149
-- RuderScale with potentiometer R154
If the rudder runs over the nominal value, there is the possibility to switch off the
rudder by D--Return 1 (see section 3.1.2.4) before it reaches the nominal value.

3.1.2.4

D-- Return Adjustment


Activate key Limits/Values.
With this parameter (D--Return) it is possible to create a rudder--lead.
This rudder--lead switches off the rudder--control before the nominal value is
achieved.
The D--Return--value has to be set in such a manner, that an overshoot of the
rudder over the nominal value is prevented.
Possible settings are 0 to 16.
Setting 0 means that the D--Return is switched off, 10 is the maximum setting.
Has to be checked!!!
In case of troubles on the feedback--signal (50Hz) the D--Return value has to be
reduced or set to 0 otherwise there will be a multilple valve--activation.
The safety of the valve--control has highest priority.
The respective switching--pulses are monitored as LED--control--signals at the
I/O--PCB.

Adjustment of the Rudder 1 Feedback Input


If the feedback input receives its signal from a external Follow--Up amplifier or
from a Rudder--position amplifier, than an offset and scale adjustment has to be
performed also.
The 10V has to be optimized to max. rudder position.
To do this, it is possible to display the actual rudder value at the operating unit
(use the display key to look for the actual rudder).
Set rudder to 0 position and adjust the offset to 0 with potentiometer R 149.
Set rudder to Stb 30 and adjust 30 with potentiometer R 154.
Check this adjustment at rudder position of Port 30.

Rudder does not reach its end position


If the rudder--end--position is not reached by the setting of the nominal value, the amplification factor has to be increased by potentiometer R154
(see Fig. 2--2) until the actual value at the display of the operating unit is
identical to the mechanically position of the rudder.
Rudder--end--positionis reached untimely
The amplification factor has to be decremented with potentiometer R154
until the nominal value is identical to the machanicaly position of the rudder.
Offset correction
After the adjustment of the nominal values we recommend a correction of
the electrically offset. See section 3.1.1

Rudder 2 Feedback input:


This input is fixed to +/-- 10V according max. rudder and cannot be adjusted.
After the adjustmens of the autopilot control,
the jumper between L1.10 and L1.12 has to
be removed.

Basic System
The autopilot system is comprised of the following components (see Fig. 3--2:)

Operator unit
The control unit is suitable for installation in bridge desks, steering stands or
for installation in a swivel housing:

Control Unit
The main components of the control unit are:
-- a rack serving as central assembly housing for various electronic PCBs
-- the backplane for EMV and internal connections
-- the terminal connection block for ships wiring

5.1.1

Operator Unit
The Operator Unit is the interface between the connection unit, the steering control and
the connected periphery devices.
There are various PCBs within the Control Unit.
A rack is used for housing the assemblies.
The operator unit is designed for installation in a control desk.
General operation is via inscribed membrane keys which are subdivided into two
groups:
-- Command keys for selection of the operating mode.
-- Function keys for individual adaptation
Several of the silicon keys are equipped with an LED display:
-- when the LED is lit this means,
the key and the corresponding function has been chosen.
-- when the LED flashes this means,
a system message (alarm, warning, value acceptance) is waiting and must be
acknowledged.
A rotary knob with a double function for the desired heading setting allows
-- a direct desired heading adjustment that will be immediately effective
-- a desired heading setting which will only be effective after activating the SET key.

Command key for the operating mode HEADING CONTROL (COURSE CONTROL)

Command key for the operating mode TRACK CONTROL

Command key for the operating mode RATE OF TURN

CONTROL

Command key for presetting of the heading change manoeuvre

--

by a definite radius value

--

by a definite R.o.T limit value

These operating modes are only selectable in connection with extended system
environments (navigation receiver, R.o.T. Tiller).

In case of an NP2015/2025 system with many NP2015/2025 control units,


the command keys are used for switching over between the control locations.
The switch--over ensures via the command keys of the chosen control unit:
-- in the same operating mode, the preset desired heading remains unchanged
-- on changing the operating mode, a set heading adaptation results
and the set heading corresponds to the heading.

A system message (s. Operator Manual Chapter. 2.14 ) is generated in case of disturbances or errors; this message is displayed in plain text on the text line.

5.2.1

Monitoring the Heading Controller


Individually adjusted limit values (heading alarm thresholds) monitor the control deviation and trigger a heading error alarm when these are exceeded.

Heading monitor and off headingfunction


The heading monitoring function is always executed in conjunction with the
MAGNET compass. The magnet compass heading is checked against the
preset heading to make sure that it keeps within the set course alarm thresholds.
If the threshold is exceeded, the heading monitor alarm (external alarm -- relais
contact) is triggered.
The off heading function compares the difference of the Gyro Compass and the
preset heading. If the threshold is exceeded the off heading alarm is triggered. This
alarm is indicated on the panel and available as external relay contact.

5.2.2

Monitoring the Serial Data Transfer


A check is made here as to
-- whether data transmission is interrupted
-- the data format of data transmission
-- the valid character and/or the checksum

5.2.3

Plausibility Monitoring of the Connected Periphery Devices


Here, the system parts are continually checked for disturbances.
