Page 11: System Principles And Functionality
System Principles and Functionality 1.1 Introduction This document describes the NAVIS NavDP 4000 system. NAVIS NavDP 4000 is a DP control system providing an all-weather vessel motion control in different ways. NAVIS NavDP 4000 is the family of systems. More usual types are listed below.
Page 12 NAVIS NavDP 4000. Operation Manual Figure 1.1: NAVIS NavDP 4000 principles Doc. 000.JDP-10000-OME, rev.3.3.13/“2102.$–17A-Advanced”...
Page 13: Vessel Model
1.2.1 Vessel Model The base of the NAVIS NavDP 4000 system is a mathematical model describing the vessel’s moving as a function of the forces applied to. The vessel model is applied to get a noise free estimation of the vessel position, heading and speed.
Page 14: Vessel Model Update
To input data(position and heading setpoints, route parameters etc.) a touchscreen is applied. 1.2.6 Set Point Algorithm The NAVIS NavDP 4000 system provides the vessel moving according to the operators’ commands and selected mode. The Set Point Algorithm transforms operator commands to detailed instructions to Optimal Controller. For in- stance, the track following mode includes several tasks, such as: –...
Page 15: Basics Of System Operation
System Principles and Functionality 1.3 Basics of System Operation An operator sets control mode and inputs data via Control Panel and LCD touchscreen. With entered data Control Computer calculates position and heading setpoints, route parameters, force and turning moment values demanding to provide the speciﬁed moving etc. Also, Control Computer receives feedback signals from actuators and data from sensors and reference systems.

Page 20 All sensors are connected both to the main and to the backup junction boxes. Some of them (e.g. Gyro, DGPS, Wind) are also connected to the IJ junction box. The NAVIS NavDP 4022 is designed so that no single failure of any unit should result in case of loss of the remaining equipment’s ability to maintain a vessel position.

NAVIS NavDP 4000. Operation Manual For the NAVIS NavDP 4000 system without built-in Autopilot mode the Mode Selector has three positions: DP — Control is transferred to the DP control system. IJ — Control is transferred to the IJ control system.
Page 25: Main And Portable Control Panels (Mcp, Pcp)
Master and Slave stations When controlling the vessel with the NAVIS NavDP 4022, the operator controls with DP-A or DP-B control system whichever is the Master. The other system is the Slave. All data is duplicated so there is no data loss in case of control transfer from one OS to another (say, from DP-A to DP-B).

Page 112: Thruster Operation
The Thruster Allocation Logic distributes the thrust demand (force and moment) between automatically controlled actuators. Dealing with a thruster, NAVIS NavDP 4000 operates in term of its thrust, in whatever way the thrust is produced. NAVIS NavDP 4000 receives feedback signals (rpm, pitch, azimuth angle, rudder angle etc.) and calculates the actual thrust.
Page 113: Thruster Control
