SECTION 7

SYSTEM STATUS MONITORING

 Konqsberq K-Pos DP

Introduction
Functions are available for monitoring the status of the K-Pos
DP
operator stations, process stations and IO system.
During normal operation you can:
. View the operational status of the Operator Stations, History
Stations and Process Stations
. View information and status indications for every IO driver,
IO block and IO point configured in the system.

System architecture
A K-Pos DP system consists of one or more operator stations
(OS) and one or more process stations (PS). A history station
(HS) may also be included.
The K-Pos DP control software is implemented in one, two or
three K-Pos DP process stations (DpPSs) (the Main controller PS
group) depending on the redundancy level of the system. The
process stations are implemented in computers located in the
K-Pos DP Controller Cabinet.
The DpPSs in the Main controller group are interconnected via a
dedicated redundancy net (RedNet).
Communication between operator stations, history stations and
process stations is via a single or dual communication net (Net
A and Net B).
Communication with thrusters and sensors is performed by the
IO system, which is an integrated part of the DpPS. If additional
IO is required for sensors or thrusters, additional dedicated IO
process stations can be implemented.

The process stations themselves provide no permanent storage

of programs and data. When a process station starls up, all its
programs and data are loaded from its PS servers, which are
located either on one or more operator stations or in the flash
memory of the PS itself.

Operator stations
The following standard names are used to identiff the operator
stations and history stations in K-Pos DP systems:

OS name OS description
DP-OS1 Main K-Pos DP Operator Station
DP-O52 Main K-Pos DP Operator Station
DP.O53 Main K-Pos DP Operator Station
DP-O54 Fire Backup K-Pos DP Operator Station
DP-O56 Stand-alone Simulator K-Pos DP Operator Station
DP-HSI Main K-Pos DP History Station
cPos-OS1 cPos Operator Station
cPos-OS2 cPos Operator Station
cJoy-OT1 cJoy Operator Terminal
cJoy-OT2 cJoy Operator Tcrminal
wTl cJoy (cWing) Wing Terminal
wT2 cjoy (cWing) Wing Terminal
wT3 cJoy (cWing) Wing Terminal
WT4 cJoy (cWing) Wing Terminal

Process stations
The process stations are implemented in Remote Control Units
(RCU).
The RCU unit contains a real-time single board computer and
lO interflaces in the same unit.

Redundancy
In single systems, the K-Pos DP Controller Cabinet contains a
single DpPS.
In dual systems, the K-Pos DP Controller Cabinet contains two
DpPSs which operate with a master/slave relationship.
Switching between master and slave can be performed manually,
or the switching can be performed automatically by the system.
In triple systems, the K-Pos DP Cabinet contains three DpPSs.
The concept of majority voting is used to detect and isolate
faults in the sensors and in theK-Pos DP system itself.

WinPS
A WinPS is a Process station that runs on an OS computer, as
opposed to a standard PS. AWinPS provides full PS
functionality,
except that it cannot communicate with the IO system.
WinPSs are used for development purposes and in simulators.

PS names and numbers

The following standard names and numbers are used to identiff
process stations and redundancy groups in K-Pos DP systems.

The Vessel Reference Models run in WinPS and provide

simulator and built-in trainer functions.

IO system
The IO system provides the communication interface for
exchange of IO signals between the field devices (thrusters and
sensors) and the process station.
The main elements of the IO system are:
.IO drivers
IO drivers are responsible for the communication with the
field device. The IO driver provides conversion between field
values and IO raw values.

The following driver types are supported:

- RBUS for discrete analog and digital IO
NetIO for communication between PSs
- Dedicated sensor and interface drivers for serial line
devices such as Artemis, GPS, Fanbeam and HPR
- ComAs for generic serial line IO
. IO blocks
An IO block represents a group of identifiable IO signals from
an IO device in the field. For example:
- For IO cards belonging to the RBUS driver, an IO block
represents an IO card in the IO rack.
- For NetIO communication between process stations, an IO

July 2008 - Rev 0 5

Konasbero K-Pos DP

block may represent all the signals related to a particular

sensor or thruster.
. IO points
IO points are the connection points for IO signals. An
IO point may provide signal conditioning elements for
conversion between the IO raw value on the driver side and
the engineering value on the K-Pos DP system side.

Monitoring functions
The following monitoring functions are available:
. Viewing of status information for the Operator Stations,
History Stations and Process Stations in your system. using
the Equipment - System Status dialog box.
. Viewing of status information for all PSs in the system, using
the Station Explorer dialog box.
. Viewing of overview information for all IO drivers, IO blocks
and IO points, using the [O Manager dialog box.
. Viewing of information for selected IO Points using the Io

Example RBUS IO Image at Detailed level for an RCU-based
PS is shown below.

Rack positions containing PSs and power supply units are not
shown on the Detailed level.
The information provided on the Detailed level is intended
primarily for Kongsberg Maritime personnel.

IO Terminal Block
The IO Terminal Block dialog box displays information about a
selected IO block and its IO points. This is intended as an aid to
fault finding in the IO system.
To display this dialog box, either:
I Start the Station Explorer
2 Select the required PS from the drop-down list.
3 Expand the appropriate driver to locate the required IO
block.
4 Either click on the block icon (r E ;, o. click on the sub-menu

symbol ( f'o.r) and select the Show IO Block command from

the sub-menu.
or:
I Start the IO Manager
2 On the IO Configurator page, select the required PS from
the drop-down list.
3 Expand the appropriate driver to locate the required IO
block.
4 Click on the IO block name.
The content of this dialog varies according to the IO driver.

Note For IO cards belonging to the RBUS driver, a block is

the same as an IO card, and a point is the same as an IO
channel.

Signal Conditioning elements

Signal conditioning elements are used in the IO points of an IO
block to parameterize the input/output process signals and to
scale the signals.

All signal conditioning elements are bidirectional, and may be

used both on input and output signals, but some elements are
meaningful on input signals only.
The symbols are displayed between the Sensor value and Eng.
value columns in the IO Points area.

The signal conditioning includes elements for:

. Scaling
. Inversion
. Filtering
. Fail-safevalue
. Compensation for wire resistance.
The available signal conditioning elements are as follows:

Description

Resetting a disabled serial line

A serial port may be automatically disabled by the system to
protect the K-Pos DP controller computer system from high
traffic caused by an excessively high number of intemrpts.
lf an automatic disable of intermpt has been performed when
reading serial line data from, for example, a position-reference
system, a timeout alarm is issued. The message includes the
relevant driver tag.
This section describes how to manually reset a disabled serial
line so that the process station can continue reading input on that
serial line. This procedure can be performed without restarting
the controller computer.
1 In the Dynamic Alarm Page of the Event List window,
right-click the relevant message.

2 Select Station Explorer on this shortcut menu.
. Thestation Explorer dialog box for the serial line that has
