  • Page 10: What Is Ais

    1 WHAT IS AIS? The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a Very High Frequency (VHF) radio broadcasting system that transfers packets of data over the VHF data link (VDL) and enables AIS equipped vessels and shore-based stations to exchange identification information and navigational data. Ships with AIS transponders continually transmit their ID, position, course, speed and other data to all nearby ships and shore stations.

  • Page 11: System Overview

    (supplied in the package). The unit can also interface external navigation and presentation systems that support IEC 61162-1 related sentences. It is also capable for connection to Long Range system like Inmarsat C. The Smartfind M5 supports both IMO and Inland AIS which is configurable by the software.

    APPENDIX (A) IEC 61162-2 Data Interface The Smartfind M5 Class A AIS Transponder provides 2 types of IEC 61162-2 data interfaces for user applications. The first interface type includes 3 input-only sensor data ports and the second interface type includes 4 bidirectional input/output ports. Data port for each interface type will be described in the following section below.
  • Page 90 A.1.2 Bidirectional Data Ports The schematic of bidirectional data port is shown in Figure A2. The schematics includes an isolated full duplex RS-485 transceiver IC (Texas Instrument ISO3080) which is used as the main component to handle both data input and output from external data source. The transceiver IC is isolated from external input.
