Simulator
11.1 Built-in Trainer Function
DP system is delivered with a Built-in Trainer function which provides simulations for operator basic training.
Build-in Trainer is designed to explore the interface, rather than to evaluate the quality of the system.
Simulations are performed at the system console. No additional equipment is required. The trainer can be used only
when the system is not in use for DP operations.
Before the simulation session, operator can input:
– Initial conditions. Vessel initial speed, initial heading, Latitude and longitude can be changed.
– Enviromental Conditions. Wind speed and direction, Current speed and direction, Wave height and direction, Water
depth settings can be changed.
NOTE!
Before using DP in real mode, it is strongly recommended to do simple
DP-operations in built-in-trainer mode.
All DP-functions and modes can be used in simulator mode:
Auto positioning with position setpoint change from control panel or DP screen;
Manual positioning (use joystick)
Auto heading with heading setpoint change from control panel or DP screen;
Manual heading (use knob)
NOTE!
