Rudder angle indicator
The centric segment describes the rudder order. Passing over from one seg-
ment to another corresponds to a rudder movement of 2
. The rudder limitation
describes the permissible limit range for the rudder movement.
1.1.2
The Connection Unit
The connection unit is made up of various PCBs.
Among them are:
-- CPU PCB
-- I/O PCB
-- Junction PCB
-- Backplane
On the basis of the universal interface structure, the connection unit permits the connec-
tion of various sensors and system--extending components, such as:
-- up to three tillers (NFU, FU)
-- up to two additional operator units as secondary steering stations
-- two separate rudder angle indicators
-- further multifunction indicators
-- interfaces for a navigation receiver or for an external navigation system.
1.1.3
The Rudder Angle Feedback Unit
The rudder angle feedback unit receives the mechanical rudder movement and converts
it into an analog voltage.
The voltage level is transmitted to the connection unit and used there for comparing the
rudder set/actual value.
(See also respective manual for the Feedback Unit).
