The CyScan System is based on a high accuracy laser sensor and provides positional
information to allow automated approach and/or station keeping relative to a structure or
vessel. It requires one or more reflective targets to be attached to the sides of the structure
or vessel.
The CyScan system is designed to be semi-portable and straightforward to operate. Its
key elements are:
•
The
CyScan Sensor
, with integrated Power Supply Unit, which is mounted on the
vessel (typically on the wheelhouse) as required.
•
The
CyScan Client Software
: The
CyScan Dashboard
is a monitoring and control
application running within Microsoft Windows
TM
on a Type 3 Marine Processor or
other computer. This provides the DP operator with status information and control of
the system and the data stream being fed to the DP system. The
CyScan Service
Interface
is used for system installation and maintenance. This replaces the Service
Access function in earlier versions of the CyScan Dashboard and Console.
•
The
CyScan Targets
. Retro-reflectors consisting of high performance prism clusters
for longer-range capability.

System Overview
CyScan emits eye-safe infrared light and detects the reflections received back from one or
more targets mounted on designated structures or vessels. The range and bearing of the
target(s) are accurately measured, displayed on the Dashboard screen and automatically
transmitted to the vessel's DP system.
