    User Input GENERAL The ECDIS900 is a window-based, human computer interface (HCI) where operator- requested information is obtained from menus and dialog boxes on the display. The mouse is the main operating tool for the system. A keyboard is also necessary for alphanumeric data entering.

  • Page 9: Sensors

    SENSORS For a complete description of the interface between sensors and the ECDIS900, see the Input/Output chapter. ETHERNET: INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL DATA FLOW Ethernet and TCP/IP protocol are the core of the system for the intercommunication between software modules and for data exchange between the ECDIS900 planning (backup) and monitoring workstations.
  • Page 10 Notes: The two ECDIS900 workstations share the same sensor data information. Serial data • is analyzed and broadcasted on the LAN and therefore the other ECDIS900 workstation can use the same sensor input data.

    Setup The logbook window gives access to the Change Settings button. Tick the Save checkbox in the Voyage Data recorder section to make sure the logbook will be recorded by VDR. A logbook recorded in VDR could be replayed in ECDIS900 together with other data. IMPORTANT: Logbook settings are not synchronized on the LAN.

  • Page 13: Failure Detection

    Windows operating system consistency Windows 7 does not start up or operate correctly if any hardware components do not initialize correctly. Startup fails if any of the files required to start Windows 7 are not present in the correct folder or if one of the files has been corrupted. Connection tests When one or more input and/or output devices are connected to the computer, the connections must be tested to ensure that everything is working correctly.

  • Page 19 It is impossible to alter the contents of the ENC. If an ENC cell is modified, the ECDIS900 detects the modification and rejects the cell during the installation procedure. Official ENC content is converted and stored with a proprietary format. The conversion maintains the precision of the data and does not alter the accuracy of the data.

  • Page 24 Time dependent warning Each ENC object may have a time-dependent behavior. A specific object can be dangerous during a limited time, starting and ending at times specified by the data producers. Accuracy The accuracy of calculations performed by the ECDIS900 is independent of the characteristics of the display and the calculation error is always less than the data accuracy of the most accurate SENC.

  • Page 25: Input Output

    Input Output IEC 61162-450 COMPLIANCE System function block The ECDIS900 uses UDP communication and datagrams. Network requirements All equipment connected to the ECDIS900 network must be tested against the relevant requirements contained in IEC 60945. See relevant certificates. Error logging function Errors occurring during transmission or reception of route, as well as binary files, are stored in two log files titled 61162-450Route.log, and Error61162-450.log.

(If the local datum on the GPS is different from the WGS-84 datum, a warning is generated.) Note: The ECDIS900 doesn’t handle emergency alarms, or category C alerts. Alert ID and text When BAM is connected by serial line to the monitoring workstation, the ECDIS900 sends alarms, warnings and cautions to the BAMS.

  • Page 29: Sensor Monitor

    SENSOR MONITOR Sensor Monitor is the application that manages the I/O for ECDIS900. Sensor Monitor is automatically launched when the system starts and runs in parallel with the ECDIS900. For Sensor Monitor, select the type of communication (serial or network), configure the input media, check the input and the communication status, select the master parameters, and eventually route data to other receivers.

  • Page 35: Master And Slave Modes

    MASTER AND SLAVE MODES Sensor Monitor can work in two modes: master and slave. The mode is linked to the ECDIS900 monitoring and planning mode, i.e. switching an ECDIS900 from monitoring to planning mode automatically switches Sensor Monitor from master mode to slave mode The master or slave mode is important only for the Extractor/Tracker data because the master Sensor Monitor sends data to Extractor/Tracker.

    AUTOPILOT The ECDIS900 can be interfaced with standard NMEA compatible auto pilots and with different Track pilots including Emri Track pilot. IMPORTANT: Bearing out parameter to be ignored. Track pilot This sensor has been designed to provide the Imtech autopilot with active route information. It receives this information from ECDIS900 and writes it down into the serial line or UDP port as standard NMEA RTE and WPL sentences.
