1 General
1.1 General Information

NAUTOCONNING is the central display and information system for the ship's
command and is used for all applications, Route Monitoring, Collision Avoidance, Nav
Data Control and Alert HMI.
Aligned with the SYNAPSIS INS, Radar and ECDIS (Electronic See Chart)
NAUTOCONNING can be placed in a Multifunction Console (MFC).
These INS functions can be reached via the MFC switch, placed on the top right of the
display.
1.2 Tasks and Performance features

The Nautoconning is a collection of INS Tasks:
x Navigation Control Data
x Status and Data Display
x Central Alert Management HMI
x Alert History
Other INS functions are part of the Nautoconning as well:

x System Status
x Sensor Selection
x AIS History
x Nav Tex History
In addition to the INS functionality other display pages can be included in the
Nautoconning system. These additional pages are ship specific, in this case the page
design are project or ship specific.
Example pages (see annex):

x Docking
x Repeater
x Instruments

2.2.4 Selecting the SENSOR SELECTION Display

The SENSOR SELECTION Display shows all connected sensors in this SYNAPSIS
INS. Sensor selection can be carried out AUTOmatic or MANUAL mode. The CCRS
checks the sensor quality constantly and label’s it with a quality indicator (STATUS).

Quality Indicator Description
The sensor has good integrity (GREEN).
The sensor has doubtful integrity. Data from this sensor can be
used carefully, but not for automatic control functions (ORANGE).
Please note:
If there is only one source for a certain type of data, this source
has doubtful integrity. In this case, doubtful integrity is not a
marker for an error.
The sensor is defect or no data is available (RED).

2.2.5 Selecting the CENTRAL ALERT MANAGEMENT (HMI) Display

The Central Alert Management reads in all navigational and system alarms, warnings
and messages and displays them in the form of a table.
Each information line shows the status and alarm category, the cause, an information
text and the date and time of generation.
Alarms and warnings are classified and displayed in two categories.
Category A
Alarms and warnings of this category must be acknowledged at the MFC application
where they have been generated.
Category B
Alarms and warnings of this category can be acknowledged at any MFC application
(Radar, ECDIS) and at the CAM HMI.
Active or unacknowledged alarms are always handled with the highest priority and in
the order they are displayed.
ALARM
The latest active alarm is always displayed at the top line of the list in RED.
An unacknowledged alarm is displayed as flashing RED text on the alarm displays of

the applications, Radar and ECDIS.
A buzzer alarm (continuous tone) is triggered.
Alarms must be acknowledged according to their category, A or B.
WARNING
As long as there is no active or unacknowledged alarm, a active warning is displayed

in the top line of the list in ORANGE.
An unacknowledged warning is displayed as flashing ORANGE text on the alarm

displays of the applications, Radar and ECDIS.
A buzzer alarm is triggered once briefly.
Warnings must be acknowledged according to category A or B.
