    Introduction 1.0 Introduction The Applanix POS MV is a Position and Orientation System for Marine Vessels using a system that provides accurate navigation and attitude data for use by equipment on board the vessel, such as multibeam sonar, to correct for the effects of vessel motion during survey operations.

    POS MV V5 Installation and Operation Guide Introduction Figure 1: Typical POS MV Components The POS MV delivers an accurate and comprehensive data set, including: • Geographic position (latitude, longitude and altitude) • Heading • Attitude (roll and pitch) •...
  • Page 29 POS MV V5 Installation and Operation Guide Introduction GNSS observables and the navigation functions in the GNSS receiver are not used. With loosely coupled inertial/GNSS integration, the GNSS position and velocity solution are processed to aid the inertial navigator. POS MV employs tightly coupled integration to enhance performance, especially rapid Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) recovery after a loss of GNSS signal reception.

  • Page 30: Operating Modes

    POS MV V5 Installation and Operation Guide Introduction • The controller program uses Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to issue commands to POS MV. This blocks other computers on the LAN from receiving the controlling messages, and prevents POS MV from responding to any other source of controlling message.

    POS MV V5 Installation and Operation Guide Introduction navigation solution. POS MV uses this heading information as aiding data together with the position, velocity and raw observations information supplied by the primary GNSS receiver. GAMS provides heading aiding to the POS MV. To understand the effect that GAMS has on the system it is useful to compare system performance with and without GAMS, see Table 1.

  • Page 33: Figure 2: Heading Measurement Without Gams

    POS MV V5 Installation and Operation Guide Introduction When correctly configured with this information, POS MV delivers measurements for use by the multibeam transducer, compensated for any difference in mounting angles between the transducer, the IMU, the vessel and your chosen reference frame.
  • Page 34 POS MV V5 Installation and Operation Guide Introduction Manoeuvres that are more frequent will yield a more accurate heading result, while operation in higher latitudes will degrade the unaided heading accuracy. POS MV rotates the IMU heading measurement, using the relative mounting angles between the IMU, the vessel, the transducer and your chosen reference frame, and delivers heading measurements valid for the multibeam transducer and the vessel.

    Note: POS MV includes two low-loss antenna cables with connectors at each end. These cables are standard length of 15 m (~50 ft). Applanix can supply longer GNSS antenna cables on request, up to a maximum allowable length of 80 m (~262 ft) with a maximum signal loss of nine Decibels (dB). It is not necessary for both cables to be the same length.
  • Page 47 IMU and the PCS. Do not subject the cable to sharp bends or other mechanical stresses. Applanix can supply a longer cable of up to 50 m (~165 ft) in length if necessary. Use suitable clips to support the cable at intervals along its length.

  • Page 48: Figure 5: Typical Imu Mounting Features

    POS MV V5 Installation and Operation Guide Installation • Ideally, install the IMU at a location for which you require roll, pitch, heading and heave measurements. Usually this implies mounting the IMU close to, or even on, the multibeam transducer. The chosen location must provide rigid support so that the IMU does not move relative to the GNSS antennas;...

    POS MV V5 Installation and Operation Guide Theory of Operation INS Platform An INS platform is one that has its accelerometers mounted on a mechanically gimballed platform. The platform is stabilized so that it always remains level relative to the local geographic navigation frame.
  • Page 218 POS MV V5 Installation and Operation Guide Theory of Operation This action gives the platform stability in the inertial reference frame. In this condition, to an observer on the surface of the Earth the platform would appear to rotate at the Earth rate of 15°/hour relative to a locally level navigation frame.

For this reason, the geographic navigation frame is sometimes called the mathematical platform.

    POS MV V5 Installation and Operation Guide Theory of Operation POS MV includes a user orientation input capability. This makes it possible to correct the orientation of the IMU so that it delivers measurements valid for an alternative reference frame, such as that of a multibeam transducer or of the vessel.
  • Page 221 POS MV V5 Installation and Operation Guide Theory of Operation Abrupt changes of this type can occur if the vessel experiences induced heave because of speed changes. Lighter vessels respond rapidly to changes in engine throttle settings and are therefore more likely to experience abrupt induced heave.

This tilt causes the horizontally pointing accelerometers to sense some component of gravity coupled by the angle of tilt, as shown in Figure 96.
  • Page 238 POS MV V5 Installation and Operation Guide Theory of Operation In a gimballed INS platform, the ramping northward acceleration can be used as a feedback signal to a proportional-integral feedback servomechanism. This servomechanism rotates the platform about its azimuth axis and drives the heading error towards zero. The levelling mechanism already described continuously returns the platform to the level.
