  • Page 6: User Input

    General User Input ENERAL The ECDIS900 is a window based Human Computer Interface (HCI) where operator requested information is obtained from menus and dialogue boxes on the display. The mouse is the main operating tool for the system. A keyboard is also necessary for alphanumeric data entering .
  • Page 7: Sensors

    Sensors restore the complete ECDIS system (Operating system, ECDIS application, basic charts, etc.) that has the initial configuration. ENSORS For a complete description of the interface between Sensors and ECDIS900 see Input/O utput chapter. THERNET INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL DATA FLOW Ethernet and TCP/IP protocol are the core of the system for the intercommunication between software modules and also for data exchange between the ECDIS Planning (Back-up) and Monitoring stations.
  • Page 8 Ethernet: internal and external data flow The two ECDIS share same sensor data information. Serial data is analysed and • broadcasted on the LAN and therefore the other ECDIS workstation can use the same sensor input data. Routes are usually planned on the Planning station and then transferred to the •...

    Redundancy Technical EDUNDANCY ACKUP SYSTEM ECDIS dual systems installation includes ECDIS Monitoring station working as Master, and a Planning station working as Slave ECDIS. The Planning station is used as backup. In case of breakdown of the main ECDIS Monitoring station, the Planning station can immediately replace the Master ECDIS and can be used for navigation.
  • Page 10: Test Facilities

    Test Facilities OSITIONING SYSTEMS Two ECDIS workstations are connected independently to two different GPS sensorsthrough SIS4000 unit. However, they share the same data and both ship’s positions are displayed on the chart: GPS1 data, acquired by one of the ECDIS workstations is sent to the other one by Ethernet and vice versa.

The sound sequences are different in accordance with the type of problem.
  • Page 13 Security CCESS The two workstations are used for navigation purpose only and no other application can interfere with ECDIS, except for approved applications and Application Manager. The workstations are connected by a point to point Ethernet connection and are not a part of the ship’s network.

    Tests ESTS UNCTIONAL TESTING BEFORE DELIVERY The different parts of the system shall be tested for correct functionality. They shall first be verified as <OK> by the system itself (BIOS). Before and after burn-in a special test program (CheckIT) shall be run, with test reports printed and saved for each unit. OMPUTER Check the BIOS self-test reports and verify that there are no errors.

A specific object can be dangerous during a limited period of time starting and ending at times specified by the data producers. CCURACY The accuracy of calculations performed by ECDIS is independent of the characteristics of the display and the calculation error is always less than the data accuracy of the most accurate SENC.
