3 Description

3.1 Application
The follow--up steering control amplifier, analog is a central component in the ship’s
steering control system. It generates a control signals via power amplifiers to the sole-
noids of the steering gear until the actual rudder angle is equal to the set rudder angle,
preset by the handwheel or the autopilot.

The follow--up steering control amplifier, analog operates as a constant controller, i.e.
with falling regulation deviation, the control signals become smaller and so the solenoid
valves are opened to a lesser degree and the rudder position speed is smaller.

Normally the follow--up steering control amplifier, analog is connected via a power am-
plifier to the valves of the ruddermachine.

3.2 Construction
(See Dimensional Drawing 139 D 152 HP005 in the Annex).

The FU steering control amplifier consists of a PCB that is screwed onto the assembly
plate.

The PCB consists of

-- two power units for the power supply
-- the signal electronics
-- terminal strips for the connection

To obtain a better type of enclosure, the FU steering control amplifier can be installed in
a housing.

3.3 Function
The functional relations are given by the block diagram, Fig. 3--1.

Definitions:

δset Set rudder angle value

δactual Actual rudder angle value from feedback unit
δactual, norm. Normalized actual rudder angle value

General
The FU steering control amplifier has two separate channels for the control of a rudder
with two pumps. Each channel has its own transformer input and a common power unit..
The steering gear can be operated in single--pump or dual--pump mode.

Power Unit
The two power transformers M1 and M2 of power units 1 and 2 are fed by the pump
supply of corresponding pumps 1 and 2. Rectifiers and voltage controls generate the
+15V DC and --15V DC stabilized voltages for the signal electronics.

Actual Rudder Angle

The actual rudder angle is delivered by the feedback potentiometer of the rudder feed-
back unit.
The potentiometer is fed by the FU steering control amplifier.
The actual rudder value is normalized by the rudder feedback amplifier (N9) and poten-
tiometer R--SCALE 1 (R19) in such a way that the maximal rudder angle corresponds to
a voltage of ±10V. The normalized actual rudder value is transmitted to the difference
amplifier and also made available to the terminal strip, e.g. for an autopilot.

The potentiometer OFFSET 1 (R10) permits compensation of small angular errors with
the rudder in midship position.

 FOLLOW--UP STEERING CONTROL AMPLIFIER RUDDER
STEERING

Set Rudder Angle

The set rudder angle can either come from an autopilot or from a follow--up transmitter
(tiller or handwheel).
The potentiometer of the follow--up transmitter is fed by the FU steering control amplifier.
The set rudder angles are normalized in such a way that the maximal rudder angle cor-
responds to a voltage of±10V.

The set rudder angle input can be switched between autopilot and follow--up transmitter
(handwheel or tiller) via status input ”AUTO/HAND”. The status input is activated via the
steering mode selector switch or the secondary steering selector. If the status signal is
active, (24V DC), relay D1 is attracted and the input of the set rudder amplifier (N64) is
switched over to AUTO (autopilot).

Subtraction
A subtraction between the set rudder signal and the actual rudder signal can be carried
out in the Follow--up Steering Control Amplifier, or the set rudder signal can be output as
set value:

-- Jumper B2 in the 1/2 position: DIFF: The differential amplifiers (N20 and N30)
form the regulation deviation from the rudder set value and the rudder actual value.

-- Jumper B2 in 2/3 position: TRANS: The differential amplifiers (N20 and N30)
amplify the rudder set value.

The Jumpers B1 (channel 1) and B4 (channel 2) determine the amplification factor of the
differential amplifiers.

With Jumper B1 or B4 in the FIX position, the amplification is set in such a way that the
output voltage of the differential amplifier is ±10V at the maximal rudder angle.
If an adjustment of the output voltage is required, then set Jumper B1 or B4 from FIX
(Pos. 1/2) to VAR (Pos. 3/4) and set the amplification with potentiometer GAIN 1 (R35)
or GAIN 2 (R45).

Output Signal
Both insulation amplifiers (N21 and N31) carry out the electrical separation of the output
signals from the input.

Using Jumper B3 (output 1) and B6 (output 2) , the polarity of the output signal can be
switched over, refer to Chapter 1.

Single--Pump Operation:
The pump that is switched on supplies both signal circuits, allowing both outputs to be
used.

Dual--Pump Operation:
If both pumps are switched on at the same time, then both pump branches are used in
supplying the signal circuits.

Activating the Rudder Control:

-- Separate
In separate pump operation, output 1 is activated from channel 1 and output 2 is acti-
vated from channel 2.

-- Parallel
In parallel pump operation, both outputs are activated from channel 1. This ensures
that the activation signal for the solenoid valves for pumps 1 and 2 are activated simul-
taneously.

Alarm Contacts
Alarm signalling via floating contacts (NOC or NCC) in case of supply voltage failure.

External Error Monitoring

In case of set rudder signal errors (e. g. wire break), the line for the input ’Auto’ can be
switched to L5.7. Thus the rudder position which was in effect at the time of the error is
preserved. Without the switching a detrimental rudder position can occur. The error mon-
itoring signal should be 24V in normal condition and in case of error 0V. If no error signal
is available from the steering gear equipment, L5.7 remains free; relay D4 is switched
parallel to relay D1 (Auto) via jumper B8 which is then set.
