OPERATION 3-1 STARTING AND STOPPING THE AUTOPILOT 11) PRELIMINARY CHECKS PRIOR TO START-UP a. Confirm that the power supply for the steering gear is turned on. b. Turn on the breakers for both No. 1 and No. 2 power source boxes after first insuring that the power ewitches for the control stand are turned off. e+ Check that the pilot lamps ( 1/ 2 PWR) on the auto steering stand are illuminated, 4, Align the steering repeater compass reading to the correct bearing. e. Determine which of the two duplicate control systems and Power units is to be used prior to start-up and place the system switch in the corresponding position. Once the preliminary checks listed above are completed, full steering can be performed from the control stand. 2) HAND STEERING a. Place the steering mode selector in the HAND (manual) position. b. Align the helm indicator pointer to zero by turning the steering wheel. + Turn the pilot pover switch to oN. The buzzer sounds 3 to 4 seconds after the power is turned on and the universal display shows the following. START ] AUT TooT Display No. 1 Display No. 2 First, press the buzzer stop switch and then depress key on the keyboard. The display changes to the standard format and hand steering 1s active. The standard format shows the ship's speed if a speed signal is connected or simply shows "READY" in display No.2 if no speed signal is connected. Note: This START display is a positive indication that the microprocessor program is active when the power switch is turned from OFF to ON. Do not transfer the system by manipulating the system transfer switch for about 1 minute after the pover is turned ON, During this period, the computer is checking internal data and the systen transfer causes “SIO INT / EXT" anomaly, generating an alarm signal which can not be removed unless the power is turned OFF. Steering can now be performed with the hand steering wheel. 3) AUTO STEERING Use the following proceedure to prepare for auto steering during the hand steering operation. a+ Econony/course-keeping steering mode The econouy steering mode is automatically set when the power is first turned on, If auto steering is required in the course-keeping mode, input code 30 from the keyboard. Note: Refer to section 4 KEYBOARD OPERATIONS for a description of keyboard operations b. Ballast/full load mode decision The full load mode is automatically selected when the power switch ie first turned on. For light load maneuvers, a transfer to the ballast mode is necessary. To accomplish this transfer, input code 31 from the keyboard. c+ Course setting Input, in advance, the course setting for automatic steering navigation with the course setting switches. The course setting is displayed on the course setting indicator located above the course setting ewitches and is retained by the auto steering mode program. ‘This completes the operations required for auto steering. Parameters for initial setting value are set according to the ship's main features during installation. 4, Placing the steering mode selector in the AUTO position causes the ship to move automatically along the course shown in the course setting indicator. e+ Course changes during auto steering The course setting on the course setting indicator can be changed by depressing the course setting pushbutton. The course is automatically changed to the new course shown on the course setting indicator. Once the course change starts, the reset (integral) action produces the optimum automatic course change depending on the course change angle and direction. The course alarm and the off-course alarm (option) are disabled until the ship is following the new course setting. £. Setpoint changes during auto steering To change the course alam and rudder limits according to sea conditions and to transfer to auto steering with the magnetic compass bearing, refer to section 4 KEYBOARD OPERATION. 3-3 g+ Transfering from auto steering to hand (remote) steeting Align the helm indicatoar to zero by turning the hand steering wheel (remote steering knob). Once this is accomplished, place the steering mode selector in the "HAND" (R/C) position. 4) EXTERNAL (COMPUTER) STEERING If the steering mode selector is transferred over to EXT position, auto steering starts immediately tovard a course setting from the external computer. If a considerable difference exists between the present heading and the course setting from the external computer, transfer to EXTernal steering only after bringing the ship closer to the course setting with hand steering. Decide on a case-by-ci je basis whether to pass through hand steering or to move automatically towards the course setting. 5) NON FOLLOW-UP STEERING Throw the pilot power switch to NF, This enables direct on-off control of a solenoid valve or a motor located in the final output stage from a steering lever at the upper right of the steering panel. This is a self-returning on-off lever which steers the ship im the direction (P or S) in which the lever is thrown and maintains the present rudder angle when the lever is released. To return the rudder, throw the lever in the opposite direction, the rudder angle can be seen in RUDDER ANGLE on the bargraph indicator on the auto steering panel or on a separately mounted rudder angle indicator. 3-2 STARTING AND STOPPING THE CYROCOMPASS Disregard this subsection when the autopilot does not incorporate a gyrocompass. Only @ power switch on-off operation is required to start or ‘stop the gyrocompass. The following should be read for correct operation. 1) ALIGNING THE STEERING REPEATER COMPASS READING a, Make the latitude and speed setting of the true heading transmitter go to zero during gyrocoupass operation. b. Confirm the steering repeater reading and the master conpass reading. If the readings differ, cause the repeater reading to agree with the m eer compass reading with the repeater card corrector located at the right of the steering repeater. Note: Check all other repeater readings while doing the above alignment. 2) START-UP Start the gyrocompass three or more hours before the main run. The gyro power switch can be found at the upper left part when the door at the lower area of the control stand is opened. The gyro is started by turning on this power switch. Confirm that the gyro indicator lanp located on the upper left of the gyro control panel is illuminated. The gyrocompass begins to operate following the above operation, stabilizes after about 5 hours and goes ready. Perform the following current and voltage measurements to confirm the correct operation of the gyrocompass. © Gyro current measurement © If the lower door of the control stand is opened, the gyro control device can be found on the rear of the door. @ insert the measuring terminals of an ammeter into the current check terminals on the fuse panel located at the center of the control device.

ESTIMATE PART and CONTROL PART. ESTIMATE PART consists of following functions; © Noise filter. © Identifier for ship's dynamic characteristics, this is so called "Maneuvering Indices" of time constant (1) and static gain (K). © Argorithm based on a Modified Extended Kalman Filter to excute the arithmetic processing of ship's model. The noise filter eliminates the difference between the observed values of heading and rate of turn and their estimated values by arithmetic processing using the ship's dynamic characteristics applying the filter gain control method and then calculates the estimated values of heading and rate of turn. The above mentioned difference is caused by the disturbance of ship such as sea states and wind. ‘The identifier for ship's dynamic characteristics eliminates the difference between the observed values of heading and rate of turn and their estimated values from the ship's dynamic characteristics and culculates the estimated values of heading and rate of turn of the ship at a time, and also compensates the ship's speed at a time using the ship's dynamic characteristic [westtied extenaea] Set course sna mat | gra da crn, [street Se SE. Fig. 6-2 Adaptive Control CONTROL PARIS consists of following functions; © Arithmetic processing of optimal gain. © Optimal controller. The arithmetic processing of optimal gain calculates the optimal gain of proportional, integral-and derivertive control suitable for the ship based on the dynamic characteristics of the ship. The optimal controller decides the rudder command from the calculated values of deviation of heading, deviation of rate of turn and optimal gain. The function of ESTIMATE PART and CONTROL PART realizes the optimal steering of the ship adapting to the randum changes of Weather, sea-states, loading conditions and trim of ship. 3) CHANGE OVER OF ECONOMY MODE AND COURSE KEEPING MODE ‘Two control functions, Economical Steering to control rudder angle effectively at the minimum and minimize needle: movement to minimize thrust power loss, and Course Keeping Steering which places importance on maintaining course while under way in a restricted water, are provided. ‘The system provides two argolithms, i.e. the argolithn for optimal gain of CONTROL PART which have mentioned above, one of then for Course Keeping mode and another for Economy mode and the system selects the suitable argolithn for the mode and the selection will be made by the order of code (code 30) thrugh key board unit. i Lee earn] —i_ Ginngeover command 1 i Fig. 6-3 Change Over of Economy mode and Course Keeping Mode 4) CHANGE OVER OF FULL LOAD AND BALLAST MODE Maneuvering indices differs with loading condition of the ship. Thus, to excute the optimal control, the control parameter should be changed according to the selected mode. Im this PT21, the change in maneuverability is always observed by Modifies Extended Kalman Filter and calculate the maneuvering indices suitable to the loading conditions. The transfer facility for full load/ballast mode is provided to excute the calculation in fast and exact manner suiting to the loading condition of the ship. ‘The initial condition setting of the control parameters are determined depending on the type of ship and the ship's principal items. Transfer between full load and ballast mode is effected from the keyboard (code 31). 5) RUDDER LIMITTER This function is provided to limit rudder gain during automatic Steering. The rudder gain can be set within +35°. However, the rudder gain is not Limited in regard to constant external forces caused by factors such as current and wind, since the rudder limit funetin is designed not to actuate with reset (integral) outputs. Fig. 6-4 Rudder Limiter 6) FUNCTIONAL LIMITATIONS TO AUTOMATIC COURSE CHANGE ‘the course alarm ie dicabled and the rudder gain is limited when the course is changed during auto steering. a. COURSE DEVIATION ALARM ‘the course deviation alarm disabled when a course change command is issued (set course is changed more than 4 degrees and continus for 5 seconds longer) and is returned to effective when the deviation from course is less than 3 degrees and this condition is kept for nore than 10 seconds. b. RESET INTEGRAL OUTPUT Reset action processing differs depending on the amount of reset output and course correction angle during a course change. It is designed to performing the automatic course change steering more economically in a shorter time. The reset conditions are the same as those for course alarm. ‘Table 6-1 RESET ACTION PROCESSING DURING COURSE CHANGE Reset output | Course change | Processing angie tae I> 16° 1> | Reset action continues tae 1> 16° 15 | Reset action is discontinued 5 6° Reset action is discontinued and tee 16° I> | che output 1s held a 5 The reset output is held at 2/3 mali 16° 15 | of the output 7) PARAMETERS FOR INITIAL SETTING In the past, determination of PID control parameter which governed steering performance of an autopilot was extremely difficult and required a great deal of experience. However, for the PE21 sutopilot, the control parameter of optimal values suitable to the ship can be calculated automatically. The required parameters to be set initially are determined by considering ship's type and its principals as described on the order sheet.

The operating principle is similar to hand steering. 6-4 EXTERNAL COMPUTER STEERING (OPTION) This mode is employed for great circle sailing or mercator sailing together with a NNSS system (Navy Navigation Satellite System) or a total navigation system (TRANSOLINE is our product). Steering signals sent from an external computer become course setting signals. There are also digital signals that conform to RS232C or 20mA Current Loop interface standards. The autopilot executes automatic steering using these course setting signals as heading signals. 6-5 MAGNETIC COMPASS SIGNAL CONNECTION (opriON) A magnetic compass signal can be connected in addition to the course signal supplied by the gyro compass. With the magnetic compass heading signal as a second course signal, the reliability of the autopilot 8 greatly inhanced since automatic steering and off-course alarm functions based on the magnetic compass bearing are added to the system. 6-6 MIDSHIP POSITION CONTROL Tf an emergency alarm occurs during automatic steering, the rudder automatically returns to the midship center position. ‘a emergency alarm sounds a buzzer and illuminates the alara lamp. At the same time, MIDSHIP is displayed in the universal display to show that the rudder is in the center position. The midship action can be reset by @ comand from the keyboard (code 34). The display then changes to BY-PASS. For the emergency alarm contents, refer Section 5 "ALARMS". 7. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION 7-1 GENERAL COMMENTS ‘The PT21 series Autopilot demonstrates high performance over long period of time with high reliability for continuous safe navigation when operated with reasonable care. Each device is strictly adjusted during the production process. Also parts replacement is far less frequent because the main components are designed to operate without contacts for improved reliability. The following description contains the periodical inspection required for normal operation. Take special care not to physically contact the components during inspection and maintenance.’ Avoid unscrewing locknuts and breaking seals as this will invalidate the warranty. 7-2 MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF GYROCOMPASS For gyrocompass maintenance, refer to the separate instruction manual for the gyrocompa itself. The following description covers only the removal and installation of the gyroconpass. 1) MASTER COMPASS AccESS The master compass is pulled out of the control stand to perform preventive maintenance, replace component in the gyro sphere or to replenish the supporting liquid. The master compass is moved in and out of the control stand in the following manner. a. Release the rack mounting hardware on the front of the rack in which the master compass is mounted. b. The master compass can be dravn out by pulling the base forward. cs IE it is desirable to separate the master compass from the control stand, first insert a screwdriver or the special screw stored in the tools and operate parts box into the gimbal mounting hole located at the rear left of the master compass case, to prevent the gyro container from shaking. a. Next, pull the base firmly forvard while pushing the lock springs at the center of the slide rails on both sides of the base tovard the inside. Then the master compass can be separated from the control stand together with the base. Note: The above procedure should be performed by two or more individuals for reasons of safety. fe. To engage the base in the slide rails, push the base in after inserting the inner rails in the outer rail slots for the slide raila. The base is then moved into its original position. Slide rail Rack mounting hardware Lock screw Fig. 7-1 GYROCOMPASS CONTAINER AND RACK 7-3 AUTOPILOT INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE The periodical inspection is performed for the purpose of preventive maintenance. It is the routine inspection for those sections which can not be checked by the microcomputer self-test functions. Practice these inspection to gain proficiency. For the relationships between the components (units) and functions, see Table 7-1. 1) Inspections prior to entry into or departure from a Port + Hand steering check Transfer the steering mode to "HAND" hand and check that the rudder can be properly controlled from the steering wheel. b.
