AQUAPILOT CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AZIMUTH


THRUSTER WITH CP PROPELLERS WITH CLUTCH

1. General

1.1. Aquapilot Control System for Azimuth Thruster


Aquapilot control system is a digital follow-up (FU) type control system for
turning and pitch angle control of propeller of the azimuth thruster unit.
In case of loss of FU control there is a non-follow-up (NFU) back-up control
system (optional), which when selected supersedes the FU control in failure
situation temporarily.

1.2. Aquapilot Control System Functionality


The basic operation unit of the system is an Aquapilot control head (AQP), a
single lever for commands functions (turning and pitch) of the thruster.
The lever of AQP has feeling points for turning at each 90 degrees and for
tilting (adjustable 0-45°).
In case of more than one Control Stations (CS) at wheelhouse AQPs can be
synchronized (optional function), in synchronization mode the levers of
inactive CS(s) follow the levers of active CS.
Content of Aquapilot control system panels alternate, but they always include
basic functions such as indications for “CS on”, pitch angle control OK, turning
control OK. If there is more than one CS, only panels and AQPs at active CS
are lit.
All indication leds in panels and Aquapilots are dimmable from one push
button at one azimuth thruster control panel.
The Thrust Direction Indicator (TDI) has displays for thrust direction, propeller
rpm and pitch angle indication. The TDI is electrically independent from the
control systems and it is hardwired to the propulsion unit. Also dimming of TDI
is separate from rest of the Aquapilot control system.

1.2.1. Steering Control


Aquapilot control head provides azimuth thrusters turning (steering) control
with continuous 360 degrees rotation. Aquapilot control system has a digital
follow-up (FU) on azimuth thruster for controlling of the turning (rotational) of

CP PROPELLERS WITH CLUTCH

the azimuth thruster unit. Control system adjusts the actual thrusters angular
position to correspond with the lever position.

1.2.2. Aquapilot Pitch Control


In controllable pitch thrusters the prime mover has a constant rpm (unless
otherwise selected) and the thrust is controlled by pitch angle of the propeller.
Aquapilot control head provides the pitch control angle with a limited degrees
tilting movement of the top lever.
Aquapilot control system has a digital follow-up (FU) on azimuth thruster for
controlling of the pitch angle of the azimuth thrusters’ propeller. Control
system adjusts the actual propeller pitch angle position to correspond with the
lever position. Prime mover has constant rpm unless otherwise selected. Pitch
control is electro-hydraulic system.

1.2.3. Clutch Control


The clutch of azimuth thrusters’ power shaft is of ON/OFF type. For the clutch
control there are push buttons for clutch opening and closing in the azimuth
thruster control panel. There are also separate “clutch engaged/disenganed”
indications in the azimuth thruster control panel.

2. Operation of Azimuth Thruster and Control Modes

2.1. Operational Modes


The operational modes are selected by push buttons on azimuth thruster
mode panel.

2.1.1. Autopilot Mode (Optional Function)


Autopilot system gives angle order for thrusters (+-45 degrees). Thrust (pitch
or prime mover rpm) control stays on Aquapilot. Each thruster can be selected
for Autopilot mode separately. Turning (steering) can be done also
asymmetrically or asymmetrically for multiple thrusters (optional function).

2.1.2. Tandem Mode (Optional Function)


Turning (steering) and thrust control (pitch or prime mover rpm) of both
thrusters is operated from one Aquapilot lever. Turning (steering) can be done
asymmetrically.

2.1.3. Crawling Mode (Optional Function)


Turning (steering) and thrust control (pitch or prime mover rpm) of both
thrusters are operated from one Aquapilot lever. From the other lever the
angle for crawling can be set. This mode can be combined with autopilot mode
when turning (steering) command is given by autopilot.

AQUAPILOT CONTROL SYSTEM FOR
6461108-A-000

CP PROPELLERS WITH CLUTCH

2.1.4. DP Mode (Optional Function)


Dynamic Position system controls thrusters’ turning (steering) and thrust (pitch
or prime mover rpm). Usually all thrusters are on DP mode simultaneously.

2.1.5. Ice Operation Mode (Optional Function)


In ice operation mode there are two different power modes for prime mover.
When there is ice conditions the ice operation mode is activated and a
lowered power is taken from prime mover. When ice operation mode is not
selected full power is taken from prime mover.

2.1.6. Free Wheeling Mode (Optional Function)


In free wheeling mode other of two thrusters is not used and it is free
wheeling. Free wheeling mode will keep the additional free wheeling lubraction
pump running and lubricating the not used thruster.

2.2. Pitch Operation Control Modes


The pitch control modes are selected by push buttons on azimuth thruster
mode panel.

2.2.1. Combinator Mode (Pitch and RPM Control)


In combinator mode the control system controls prime mover rpm and
propeller pitch simultaneously.

2.2.2. Combinator Speed Mode (Pitch and RPM Control) (Optional Function)
In combinator speed mode the control system controls prime mover rpm and
propeller pitch simultaneously. The mode is tuned optimally for sailing
conditions.

2.2.3. Combinator Bollard Mode (Pitch and RPM Control) (Optional Function)
In combinator bollard mode the control system controls prime mover rpm and
propeller pitch simultaneously. The mode is tuned optimally for bollard pull
conditions.

2.2.4. Constant RPM Mode (Pitch Control) (Optional Function)


In constant rpm mode the AQP controls propeller pitch while prime mover rpm
is set to constant value. Prime mover constant rpm is either set by separate
rpm potentiometer (POP) or is pre-programmed.

2.2.5. Constant High RPM Mode (Pitch Control) (Optional Function)


In constant high rpm mode the AQP controls propeller pitch while prime mover
rpm is set to high pre-programmed constant rpm value.

AQUAPILOT CONTROL SYSTEM FOR
6461108-A-000

CP PROPELLERS WITH CLUTCH

2.2.6. Constant Low RPM Mode (Pitch Control) (Optional Function)


In constant low rpm mode the AQP controls propeller pitch while prime mover
rpm is set to low pre-programmed constant rpm value.

2.2.7. Constant Pitch Mode (RPM Control) (Optional Function)


In constant pitch mode AQP controls prime mover rpm while pitch is set to
constant value.

2.2.8. Fire Fighting Mode (Optional Function)


In fire fighting (FiFi) mode AQP controls propeller pitch with constant prime
mover rpm.
In this mode the control system makes power reservation for FiFi pumps and
uses remaining power for thrust control. Prime mover rpm is limited to
predefined value.

2.3. Overload protection


The Aquapilot control unit (ACU) includes load control system. The load
control system prevents the prime mover from being overloaded. The system
measures the input rpm of the azimuth thrusters and calculates the from “load
curve” the corresponding maximum allowed fuel pump setting. When the
prime mover seems to be overloaded, the load control system will reduce the
pitch.

2.3.1. Load Limit Panel (Optional)


In load limit setting panel the maximum thrust given by control lever can be
set.
The load limit setting can be overridden by a “slow down” signal from the
prime mover safety system or from prime mover load measuring system. The
load limit is then set to a preprogrammed value.

3. Back-up control (Optional)


The back-up control system is a non-follow-up type system that is independent
from the Aquapilot control system. It has its own circuit breaker in ACU and it
has been hardwired from wheelhouse to the thruster room. One back-up
control panel controls the operation of one azimuth thruster.
The Back-up Control Panel (BCP) at the wheelhouse has a selector switch or
push buttons for activation and de-activation of the back-up control mode. If
there are more than one back-up control panel at wheelhouse there is back-up
change over unit (BCO) to control the selection of the control panels. The
request for back-up control can be made from desired control station and
others are de-activated.

Page 4 ( 6 ) 6461108-A-000 U
AQUAPILOT CONTROL SYSTEM FOR
6461108-A-000

CP PROPELLERS WITH CLUTCH

On the back-up control panel there are also push buttons for non follow-up
pitch angle control and push buttons or dials for steering control. Prime mover
RPM is set by potentiometer.

NOTICE: Back-up control is only purposed for manoeuvring the


vessel to safe location.

4. ECR control (Optional)


If ECR controls are provided there is one AQP lever or back-up control panel
for each azimuth thruster for turning and pitch control in ECR.

NOTICE! Change over from wheelhouse to ECR and back is


possible only when all AQP levers are in upright position.

During ECR control the wheelhouse control is not possible

5. Maintenance control (Optional)


For maintenance purpose there is a portable hand tool AMS08 or AMS07 (one
per ship, optional) or a fixed maintenance control panel (one per thruster,
optional) for steering and pitch control of azimuth thruster in the thruster room.
The AMS controller is connected inside to Aquapilot Control Unit (ACU).
The system does not include any local control for PM.
During maintenance control the wheelhouse control is not possible.

6. Local Control (Optional)


For local control a local control panel is provided. Local control panel is
located in thruster room near the thruster. From local control steering and
pitch angle can be adjusted with push buttons. The functionality is non-follow-
up type.
In case of lose of all other control methods the steering gear and the pitch
angle control can be actuated directly from solenoids. Aquapilot control
system does not include any local control for prime mover.

7. Stand-By Hydraulics (Optional)


If stand-by hydraulics provided then there are two electric motor driven
hydraulic pumps per thrusters unit, one is as a stand-by pump which
supersedes automatically the main pump if the it fails. Both of the pumps are
equal so it is possible to use them alternately as a main pump.

Page 5 ( 6 ) 6461108-A-000 U
AQUAPILOT CONTROL SYSTEM FOR
6461108-A-000

CP PROPELLERS WITH CLUTCH

The pumps have manual control possibility with push buttons and switches on
HMS starters. Stand-by and other lockings are not valid under manual control.
Starting of the pumps is only allowed when Aquapilot is on zero thrust order
position.

AZIMUTH THRUSTER INTERFACE TO AUTOPILOT

AZIMUTH THRUSTER INTERFACE TO AUTOPILOT

Autopilot Mode
There are five different Autopilot modes built into the Aquapilot control system.
• Mode “One by one”
Autopilot drives only one azimuth thruster at a time, Port or Stbd.
• Mode “Symmetric”
Turn both units with equal azimuth angles.
• Mode “Asymmetric”
Initially the thruster on the same side as the turning curve operates
(usually outer thruster). For hard turns the other (usually inner thruster)
units joins operation automatically.
• Mode “DEFAM” for Double Ended Ferries
Initially the aft thruster operates alone. Forr hard turns the fore unit
joins operation automatically.
• Mode “ Reverse Autopilot”
Autopilot operating to reverse direction. Can be selected together with
One by One, Symmetric or Asymmetric.
Selection autopilot operation mode is done in commissioning. One of these
modes is available. Reverse autopilot can be used together with other
autopilot modes.
Autopilot mode is activated by push button on mode or control panel.
RPM control of the prime movers remains on Aquapilot control lever when
mode is selected to Autopilot. Only steering angle control is by Autopilot.

• Azimuth thruster operation is logically connected to Aquapilot lever
movement, azimuth thruster follows lever command.
• Either ahead or astern ship operation can be easily used.
• Scales for steering and thrust (rpm and pitch combined).

2.3. Feeling Points


To assist operation, various feeling points (detents) can be used:
• 4 detents for 360° steering, 90° steps.
• 1 detent at 0% thrust
• 2 position adjustable detens for -100% … +100% thrust (rpm and pitch
combined).

2.4. Clutch Control


Azimuth thruster built-in clutch is not controlled by thrust lever directly.

2.5. Motorized Operation


For multiple control station installations, all levers can be kept synchronized by
built-in low-noise step motor function (optional).

2.6. Touch alarm


If lever is used in operation condition when there is no control possible or it is
disabled, built-in audible touch alarm function can be enabled. A sound
warning is given if lever position is then altered.

2.7. Redundancy
Optional feature for double sensors and electronics interface.

2.8. Maintenance and Service


Maintenance free for long operation period.
Mechanical movement limits can be calibrated by built-in function.
Electronic interface card includes 7-segment display for error codes.

Aquapilot® ND Control Lever (CP)

Aquapilot functions

Steering
• Aquapilot lever controls the turning of the Rolls-
Royce azimuth thruster.
• The control is based on comparison between set
steering direction angle from lever and acual feed-
back from the azimuth thruster.
• Actual turning control command clockwise or
counterclockwise is given based on this
comparison.
• Azimuth thruster follows the given path from lever
up to configurable maximum follow-up angle.
Typically this is set to 270°
• If maximum follow-up angle is exceeded, azimuth
thruster turning direction changes.
• The Aquapilot control lever includes a circular
scale where the set value is shown in range of 0°
to 359°.
• Default configuration includes feeling points
(detents) at 0°, 90°, 180° and 270° positions.
• Optionally tandem or other grouping method for
steering of 2 or more azimuth thrusters with one
lever is possible depending on sustem
requirements.

Thrust
• Thrust is controlled by altering prime mover speed
Zero
Maximum thrust setting (rpm) and propeller pitch % together.
thrust • Thrust scale indication is -100% to 100%
negative corresponding to -30° to +90° lever mechanical
movement.
• Zero thrust is achieved in lever position 0%
equalling to idle rpm and zero % pitch.
Maximum • Depending on current combinator curve in use,
thrust prime mover rpm and propeller pitch will change
positive together when lever is moved from 0% position
• Negative thrust is given at 0% to -100%.
• Positive thrust is given at 0% to +100%.
• Amount of thrust at any lever position depends on
used combinator curve charactreristics (there may
be several different modes available).
• Actual clutch engage / disengage function is
operated from separate panel.
• Two configurable feeling points can be used.

AZIMUTH THRUSTER CONTROL PANEL

1. General
Panel node is used as part of Azimuth thruster remote control system. Panel
node is part of Aquapilot control system, which is based on CANopen protocol.
Control panel is used for controlling clutch, choosing control station and in
some projects choosing autopilot.

1.1. Indications Symbols


There are four different indication colours for symbols:
Green – When the function is activated and everything is ok green led is on
(normal operation) and led in designated push button’s turns off.
Red – Red is indication of failure which is high level alarm indication for user
about fatal malfunction in Aquapilot control system. Red indication needs
immediate actions for precautions because cause of the failure risks the
control of the thruster unit
Orange – Orange is indication of warning, which is low-level alarm indication
for user about possible trouble in Aquapilot control system. Warning does not
stop manoeuvring process but needs attention of user.
Blue – Blue colour is used for special purpose. The nature of information of
blue indication is neutral and it never can be indication of hazardous matter.
When a function of the push button is not activated the symbol back light led is
turned off and led of push button is turned on. Normally push button and
symbol are pair and they belong together but there are also independent push
buttons and symbols.
Examples:
Push button – one possible push button function without symbols is dimmer
which regulate brightness of the all leds in panel. This function does not need
individual symbol.
Symbols – There are symbols, which are controlled by software, and they do
not need any push buttons for activation of function.
All panel nodes have individual can device addresses that are set by dipswitch
in I-module. CAN bus end resistor usage is selected by a dipswitch.

Basic starting and position keeping


With any power, but both prime movers running
with equal power.
Trust should have the low thrust adjusted equal to
keep the ship from turning when powers set to
minimum. Turning in spot by adding power to one
Aquamaster.

3. Ahead

Straight ahead
With any power, but both prime movers running
with equal power.
If both propellers turn to same direction small
counter angle might be required to steer straight
ahead.

Turn port side


It's recommended to use the port side
Aquamaster, since the starboard Aquamaster®
then helps the turn by pushing from outside
corner.

4. Astern

Straight astern
With any power, but both prime movers running
with equal power.
Depending of the hull form it is recommended to
use both Aquamasters for steering. If both
propellers turn to same direction this might cause
some yaw at high speeds.

Turn port side


It is more efficient to use both Aquamasters to
steer.
It's recommended to use both Aquamasters to
steer, but the inside Aquamaster® should be
turned more to avoid the propeller wash to hit the
skeg.

Turn starboard
It is more efficient to use both Aquamasters to
steer.
It's recommended to use both Aquamasters to
steer, but the inside Aquamaster® should be
turned more to avoid the propeller wash to hit the
skeg.

5. Turn around the spot

Turn port side


Avoid angles 90-270 since then the propeller
wash from one Aquamaster® goes straight in to
the other Aquamaster® causing cavitation at
higher speeds.

Turn starboard
Avoid angles 90-270 since then the propeller
wash from one Aquamaster® goes straight in to
the other Aquamaster® causing cavitation at
higher speeds.

6. Side step

Slow side step


Engine powers are almost equal. Slightly more in
the port side Aquamaster, this to avoid forward
movement

Fast side step


Port side Aquamaster® less power than the other
one.
Depending of the hull form and ship length, inside
Aquamaster® approx. 40-45 dec. astern, outside
Aquamaster® approx. 20-30 dec. ahead and
some what more power to the outside
Aquamaster. Fore/aft movement and yaw is
controlled by adjusting the outside Aquamasters
angle and power.

STEERING THE SHIP WITH AQUAPILOTS

7. From ahead to astern (fast stop, crash stop)

WARNING! Fast (Crash) stop maneuver is allowed only in


emergency situation.

WARNING! Fast stop is to be done via decreasing the rpm of the


prime mover in stages to slow rpm and then turn the
units also in stages following the decrease of the
vessels speed.

WARNING! This maneuver should be recorded into the vessels


operating manual.

• This is performed when changing fast the movement of the ship to the
opposite direction or when stopping the ship quickly.
• Try to turn the Aquapilot® levers whit the same speed than the
propeller Aquamasters are actually turning, this way You can steer the
ship during this manoeuvre. If both Aquamasters maximum turning
rates aren’t equal they should be adjusted.
• However, if there occurs high vibration astern of the ship or overload
danger of the prime mover, cut down the rpm of the prime mover.

Astern from ahead, fast stop


Turn the propellers to the direction where the ship
is moving. The port side-Aquamaster® is turned
clockwise and the starboard-Aquamaster®
counterclockwise.
Both engines are running with equal power.
Always turn the Aquapilot® lever inside.

Astern from ahead, no wash


Both engines are running with equal power.
Always turn the Aquapilot® lever outside.
The Aquamasters may be turned with decreasing
limited power.

8. Propeller wash and environmental sensitive areas


Propeller wash may cause erosion on river/harbour banks and sensitive
seabed areas, when too high propeller power is used.

HAND HELD TERMINAL (CCN02)

1. General
This manual describes the functions in the Hand Held Terminal device (HHT)
for CCN02.
With the HHT it is possible to maintain the CCN02 i.e. perform calibration of
analogue and digital input/outputs, modification of system parameters and
display system messages.
The terminal may also be used to monitor and debug the internal operation of
the application software i.e. watching and simulating internal process signals.
Termiflex ST/2000 HHT cannot be directly connected to CCN02-controller
without suitable interface cable. For easy connection a HHT-compatible
(female 9-pin DSUB) access point is arranged either:

• Inside local CCN02-controller cabinet


in propulsion room.
• Bridge CCN02-controller cabinet,
bridge devices interface cabinet or
bare interface mounting plate (wihtout
cabinet).

Termiflex ST/2000 HHT can be connected directly to this access point and
+5V power is also supplied to terminal device for correct operation.
Connectivity with a normal PC computer is not covered by this document.

Warning: Please note that any action beyond "just viewing" e.g.
alteration of system operational parameters by any
means is a work covered by authorized Rolls-Royce
service person only.

Unauthorized alteration of operational parameters


voids warranty and may lead to serious operational
hazard.

1.1. Power up sequence


When the terminal is connected and the CanMan System is started (power on
/ reset) the terminal will display some progress information after initial time
delay of approximately 30 seconds. This time is needed to first start operating
system.
After time delay text name CANMAN will appear on terminal screen. Each
character in the name indicates a successfully completed phase of the start up
procedure as follows:

C Operating system has been started and CanMan application is started.


This includes initializing parameters and log files, HHT serial
communication port and memory tests.

A Checksum for application file is tested.

N Indications and I/O is initialized.


CAN A and CAN B field buses are initialized.

M CAN SLIO field bus is initialized.

A CAN Open field bus is initialized.


Application processes and functionality is initialized.

N Rest of the system is checked. System is fully initialized and running.

contains the status of the process R - running, H - halted or E -


delayed. The second field contains the process name and the last field
contains the process running time in seconds.
Press ENTER to select the showed process.
2. Select a signal in the same way. Information given for each signal: The
first field contains a character for the type of signal, P - parameter, F -
function curve = table, T - test point = ordinary signal, S - simulated
signal (flashing), C - constant (non-changeable), E -error indication
(flashing). The second field contains the name of the
signal/parameter/function-curve. The third field holds the current value
of the signal or parameter and the size of the function curve. The
information on the last line in the terminal is updated 5 times per
second.

2.11.2. Simulation
Signals may be simulated by assigning constant values, these signals will not
be updated by the application software. Procedure:
1. Continue from View. Press ENTER.

4. Removing of all simulations is done by selecting EXIT in the MAIN
menu, followed by pressing ENTER. All simulations are also
automatically removed if the HHT has not been used for 1 hour, or if
the system has been switched OFF.

2.11.3. Updating parameters


Parameters may be permanently changed with the same procedure as for
SIMULATION of signals.

2.11.4. Updating tables (function curves and ramp delays)


A function curve is used for generation of a direct relationship between an
output and an input signal with a function generator (FUNG) block. The
breakpoints of the curve are defined as X(n) - Y(n) pairs. The (n) is the
number of the breakpoint. When the input value is between two breakpoints, a
straight-line interpolation is used to calculate the output. Figure 1 shows
examples of two curves and the table below gives the corresponding X - Y
pairs.
A ramp delay is used for generation of a time delay between an output and an
input signal with a RAMP block. The delay is achieved by limitation of the rate
of change by which the output moves towards the input. Two tables must be
defined for each RAMP block, one for increasing and one for decreasing
output. The delay curves are given as X(n) - Y(n) pairs, where the X value is
time in seconds and Y is the output from the RAMP block. Figure 2 shows an

Page 11 ( 15 ) 6455060-A-002 U
6455060-A-00

HAND HELD TERMINAL (CCN02)

example of an increasing and a decreasing curve. Note carefully how the


curves are defined, always starting with X(0) = 0.
Procedure for updating a table:
1. Press ENTER in the SIGNALS-menu. The X(n) - Y(n) pair may be
displayed, without updating, by pressing SPACE a number of times or
typing it's index.
Procedure for updating proceed by:
1. Select the element
2. Press ENTER
3. Type the new value
4. Press ENTER
5. Select the next element....etc.
6. Press U after any element or SPACE after the last element to update
the table.
It is possible to abort the parameter update at any point by pressing BKSP (or
ESC). The original function curve will then be maintained.
