    3 Operation, generic HMI Touch-Screen Controls Reading the speed and depth information from the system, and configuring the system for use, is done through the touch-screen display units, called “human- machine interface” (HMI) units. Data is also sent to external equipment using a range of standard communication protocols and data formats.

    Administrator mode EMES60 has two input modes: “Normal User” and “Administrator”. Some operational parameters could prevent correct operation of EMES60 if they are set incorrectly. These parameters cannot be set in Normal User mode, and the operator must change to Administrator mode in order to get access to the setup screens.

    • Demo: the screens are driven by artificial speed log and echo sounder data, which is computed inside the EMES60 software. This mode is supposed to be used for presentations. • Simul: simulation mode; in this mode, the screens and outputs are also driven by data computed by the EMES60 software, but the operator can program the parameters of the data that is shown and output.

    4 Operation, Speed log The speed log measures the speed of the vessel through the water. Speed log Home Screen This screen is used to go to the desired operational screens, and for general controls. See section 3.7 for detailed description of all screen elements. See 3.7.4for use of the Control buttons.

  • Page 22: Speed Log Main Operational Screen (Screen 1)

    Speed log main operational screen (screen 1) This screen is the one that is shown in normal use of the speed log. It shows the vessel speed through the water in forward and sideways directions, and the total distance travelled. Touch the speed and distance display boxes to set the units of measurement.

  • Page 23: Speed Log Single Axis Indicator (Screen 2)

    Speed log alerts screen (screen 3) Note that this screen is only available with Administration privileges, ref 3.6 Screen layout When a value that is measured by the system goes out of limits or failure mode occurs, an alert is issued. This screen allows setting the individual alert ID’s for different alert events, and assigns the relay (totally 2 relays) to the particular alert event.
  • Page 25 Alert ID setup Each alert event can be associated with an ID number. Such ID is used in the NMEA alarm messages, ref sections 8.5.15 and 8.5.16 for details. To set an alert ID, touch the value box next to the alert type text.
  • Page 26 Alert depth limits setup The shallow and deep alarm depths are shown in the Alert buttons at the bottom of the screen. If the depth is shallower than the shallow alert depth, or deeper than the deep alert depth, an alert is triggered. Touch the Alert button to change the shallow or deep alert depths.

  • Page 39: Calibration

    This is done by running the vessel back and forth over the same line on the seabed several times, and entering the data from these calibration “trips” into a calibration table. EMES60 uses the data in the calibration table to correct the speeds measured by the speed log.
