  • Page 125: Alert Management

    Alert management Overview The ECDIS900 system provides alerts and indications to inform about critical or non-critical failures, and other events. Alerts are indicated on each ECDIS workstation and are synchronized with BAMS (Bridge Alert Management System). The ECDIS900 is connected to the BAMS by serial line and the alert management procedure in the ECDIS900 is facilitated by the centralized alert management.
  • Page 126 Silencing alarms and warning Alarms and warnings category A and B can be silenced from an ECDIS workstation and/or from the BAMS. Silence mode is available for any alarm ONLY once and no longer than for 60 seconds. After that, the alarm must be acknowledged. To reduce the noise disturbance in harbor and berthing conditions, activate the Harbor mode which stops triggering alerts.

  • Page 127: List Of Alerts

    Rectification of the alarm conditions When the alarm condition is rectified for an alarm that is not acknowledged, the visual presentation of the alarm stays as it is but the audible signal stops. This applies to all alerts except CPA/TCPA alarms. When the CPA/TCPA alarm condition is rectified, the CPA/TCPA alarm disappears from the list and the audible signal stops.

    A red circle defines the anchor safety area when the alert is active. The radius is set in the F-Distance settings dialog. The warning is activated when the ship is outside the circle. The warning is escalated to an alarm if it is not acknowledged within 1 minute. The circle is green if the alert is not triggered but the function is on.

  • Page 131: Automatic Identification System (Ais)

    Automatic Identification System (AIS) Interface The AIS transponder communicates with the ECDIS via a serial cable (NMEA 0183 protocol). The duplex link between the AIS and ECDIS provides two-way communication: • The ECDIS receives dynamic data (targets’ positions and information) and messages from AIS (see "Receiving messages"...
  • Page 132 Processing and display capacity ECDIS900 is capable of processing a limited number of targets, tracked, and reported. However, in order to avoid cluttering of ECDIS display, the user must fix the limit maximal of targets displayed in ECDIS900. This number is used for both maximum display capacity of ECDIS900.

  • Page 133: Broadcasted Data

    Broadcasted data The AIS transponder broadcasts three different types of data to other AIS installations or base stations: • Static ship data including Ship’s name, IMO number, call sign etc. • Voyage related data including Destination and ETA. • Dynamic data including position, heading and speed, ROT (Rate of Turn if available) etc. Static ship and voyage related data is sent every 6 minutes.

  • Page 134: Ais Target Display

    Ship and voyage data are automatically sent via the serial link to the AIS transponder. AIS target display The AIS target symbol is a blue triangle with a speed vector (dotted line) and the COG vector (continuous line). The speed vector length depends on the speed of the target (true vector) or on both own ship and target speed (relative vector).
