Service Manual 1.1 Preface

1 Interface IEC 61162-1; IEC 61162-2

1.1 Preface

This interface specification is based on the following international standards:

IEC 61162-1
IEC 61162-2

and is closely aligned to NMEA 0183 version 2.30, March 1st, 1998.
For further information, consult the original documents.
The selection of transmitted sentences is configurable; for further details, see the "System Maintenance"
menu under "Configuration".
The transmission frequency of every output sentence can be selected from 4 different values via the
'"Service" menu:
- 1 second
- 5 second
- 10 second
- 30 second

The amount of data may be changed without notice.

Note:
In the following specification, for every telegram there is a reference to the underlying IEC
version.

1.2 Software Version

This interface specification is valid for RADARPILOT ATLAS 1000 systems with software version 2.6 and
higher (newer) versions.
NOTE
This manual is not valid for RADARPILOT/CHARTRADAR/
MULTIPILOT ATLAS 1000 that are integrated in NACOS
xx-2 or NACOS xx-3 systems. In this case refer to the
Service Manual "NMEA 0183 Interface", ED3031G072.

1.3 Data Transmission Service Manual

1.3 Data Transmission

Type : RS422
(with optional Interface Expander GE 3044 G 209 also available:
- NMEA (TTL)
- RS232
- 20 mA current loop
Baud rate : 4800 for IEC 61162-1; 38400 for IEC 61162-2 input data
Data bits : 8 (d7 = 0)
Parity : None
Stop bits : 1

1.4 Data Format

An approved sentence contains, in the order shown, the following elements:

"$" Hex 24 - start of sentence
<address field> Talker identifier and sentence formatter
[","<data field>] Zero or more data fields
.
.
.
[","<data field>]
"*"<checksum field> Checksum field
<CR><LF> Hex 0D 0A - end of sentence

The checksum *hh is calculated by XOR-ing the 8 data bits of all characters (no start and stop bit) in the
sentence, between but excluding "$" and "*".
The hexadecimal value of the result is displayed as two ASCII characters (0...9, A...F) starting with the
most significant byte.

The following standard telegrams are output by the RADAR 1000:

1.5.1 DBT - Depth Below Transducer

IEC 61162-1

$--DBT,x.x,f,x.x,M,x.x,F*hh[CR][LF]

Water depth, fathoms

Water depth, meters

Water depth, feet
Talker identifier:
SD = Sounder, depth

Standard repetition time: 1 s.

Note:
Only the depth in meters is output.
The data record is not always identical to the data record of the depth sensor.
If necessary, the units are converted to meters.

1.5.2 DTM - Datum Reference

IEC 61162-1

sent as nullfields
$--DTM,ccc,a,x.x,a,x.x,a,x.x,ccc*hh[CR][LF]
Reference datum: WGS84 = W84
Altitude offset, metres WGS72 = W72
SGS85 = S85
Lon offset, minutes, E/W PE90 = P90
Lat offset, minutes, N/S
Local datum subdivision code
Local datum: WGS84 = W84
WGS72 = W72
SGS85 = S85
PE90 = P90
User defined = 999
IHO datum code
Standard repetition time: 30s
Notes:
The datum sentence should be transmitted immediately prior to every positional sentence (e.g., GLL,
BWC, WPL) which is referenced to a datum other than WGS84, which is the datum recommended
by IMO.
For all datums the DTM sentence should be transmitted prior to any datum change and periodically
at intervals of not greater than 30 seconds.
In this application only WGS84=W84 position data are accepted as valid data.
The position data output (Section 1.5.3, G L L - G e o g r a p h i c P o s i t i o n , L a t i t u d e / L o n g i t u d e ) is sent with
datum reference to WGS84 in all cases.

1.5.3 GLL - Geographic Position, Latitude/Longitude

IEC 61162-1

$--GLL,llll.llll,a,yyyyy.yyyy,a,hhmmss.ss,A,a*hh[CR][LF]
Mode indicator: a=A/D/E/N A=Autonomous mode
Status: A=valid, V=invalid D=Differential mode
E=Estimated (DR) mode
UTC of position fix N=Data not valid
Longitude, E/W
Latitude, N/S
Talker identifier:
RA = Radar (only if position is "estimated", see Mode indicator) or
Talker identifier of the position sensor (e.g. GP, GL, LC)

Standard repetition time: 1 s.

Notes:
1. The position of the selected sensor is converted to reference to an identical location (system posi-
tion).
2. The format ".llll" or ".yyyy" means, that the position output has four decimals, independent of
the connected sensor´s format.

Wind speed
Reference:

Notes:
1. In contrast to IEC 61162-1 and NMEA 0183 Standard:
When the Reference Field is set to True, data is provided giving the wind angle relative to the true
North and wind speed, both with reference to the GROUND (if Ground Speed valid).
If Ground Speed is invalid, wind data are with reference to the (moving) water.
2. It can be configured to send relative (R) wind data permanently.
3. Wind speed unit is N (knots).

Standard repetition time: 1 s.

Notes:
1. Reference systems: B = Bottom tracking log
M = Manually entered
W = Water-referenced
R = Radar tracking (of fixed target)
P = Positioning system ground reference *
2. The values for "vessel course" and "vessel speed" are output relative to the ground if the associated
reference has the identifier M, R, P or B.
3. The "vessel course" and "vessel speed" are referenced to the system position defined for the vessel
during system configuration.
4. Position sensors do not fulfil the IMO Performance Standards for SDME (Speed and Distance Meas-
uring Equipment). Therefore, they might not be configured in the system. In this case, the "reference"
marked with * can not be output.
5. The following matrix provides an overview of the data contents of the OSD telegram depending on
the selected speed sensor:

Note:
1. This telegram is received with 4800 Bits/s and max. 1/s (61162-1) or 38400 Bits/s and max. 50 /s.
2. The heading data received from magnetic compass (talker identifier HC) are not accepted as
heading input, but can be used as input for the optional Sensor Monitoring function of the system
(comparison of the gyro heading to the magnetic heading).
ATTENTION

Setting the compass input to serial IEC 61162-1 data

(HDT message with 4800 Baud and 1 Hz repetition rate) will
result in degradation of stabilization smoothness. There-
fore such compass installations should only be used for stabilization
purposes of EPA radars.
For any installation which is required to meet the IEC 60872-1 (ARPA) or
IEC 60872-2 (ATA) specification, the serial data of the gyro compass
must conform to the IEC 61162-2 standard. The interface shall provide a
heading data update rate of at least 20 Hz for normal radar and 40 Hz for
HSC radar.

2. The values for "vessel course" and "vessel speed" are output relative to the ground if the associated
reference has the identifier M, R, P or B.
3. The "vessel course" and "vessel speed" are referenced to the system position defined for the vessel
during system configuration.
