Setting the maximum rudder angle for joystick heading
control
In the optional Autopilot mode with joystick heading control, the system will not turn the
rudders/azimuth thrusters beyond the specified limit. This limit is usually set to a high
value so that the maximum steering effect can be achieved in an emergency situation. For
example, the maximum physical angle for rudders or 45 degrees for azimuth thrusters.
If you try to enter angle values beyond predefined limits, a message instructing you to
correct the values will be displayed.

Selecting the steering mode
The steering mode determines how the steering units within the active steering group are
used to steer the vessel, and is not available if there is only one steering unit.
The standard steering modes (using two steering units) are:
•
Synchron
(Synchronous)
Both steering units have the same azimuth angle and both generate the directional
force.
•
Async Auto
(Asynchronous Auto)
Only one steering unit is used to generate the directional force, while the other is fixed
alongships. The steering unit is selected automatically depending on the turn direction.
•
Async STBD
(Asynchronous Starboard)
