Alerts Given When Approaching a Waypoint

26.8.1

Track Control System (TCS) testing standard and Autopilot

There are two TCS testing standards, IEC 62065 Ed. 1.0 and IEC 62065 Ed. 2.0. The
Autopilots that can be connected to this ECDIS conform to the following TCS stan-
dards:
IEC 62065 Ed. 1.0: PT-500A, PR-6000, FAP-2000, FAP-3000
IEC 62065 Ed. 2.0: FAP-3000, PR-9000, PT-900

Differences between IEC 62065 Ed. 1.0 and Ed. 2.0

(1) Course change indication alert announcements
The timing of the course change indication announcements is different between ed1.0
and ed2.0.

(2) Alert sequence
The alert sequence is also different between the two testing standards. This section
provides examples of how the ECDIS responds to unacknowledged alerts when
approaching a waypoint.
Condition 1: No acknowledgements to alerts
IEC 62065 Ed. 1.0
1. The vessel's position is 90 seconds from the WOL.
2. The ECDIS releases the Early Course Change Indication (ECCI), which is the
Alert "150 Early Course Change Indication".
3. The ECCI is not acknowledged.
4. The vessel's position is now 30 seconds from the WOL.
5. The ECDIS releases the Course Change Alarm (CCA), which is the Alert "152
Wheel Over Line".
6. The vessel passes the WOL.
7. 30 seconds after the vessel passes the WOL, the ECDIS outputs the Backup Nav-
igator Alarm (contact signal, N/O or N/C) to the BNWAS.
8. The CCA is acknowledged.
9. The ECDIS stops the Backup Navigator Alarm and resets the contact signal.
