1.6 System Extension
The connection unit of the autopilot permits a simple and quick system extension; further
system PCBs are not required (see Fig. 1--5).
1.6.1 Main and Secondary Operator Units
In addition to the main operator unit, 2 further operator units of the same type can be
connected to the connection unit of the autopilot as secondary steering stations. A
”Take--over System” permits change--over between the operator units.
Within the secondary operator units, access to the ship--specific parameters
(CONFIG. on/off) is not possible.
1.6.2 Tiller
The autopilot can be equipped with up to 3 tillers.
Any combination as follow--up or non--follow--up tillers is possible.
The following tiller variations can be made:
-- FU tiller ( F ollow-- u p tiller)
-- NFU tiller ( N on-- f ollow-- u p tiller).
For tiller control, the steering mode selector is to be set to position ”AUTO”.
The tillers are provided with a Take--over function.
If e.g. the key ”MAN” is actuated on a tiller, all the other operator units -- independently of
their operating mode up to now -- change over to the operating mode STANDBY.
The HEADING is declared to be the SET HEADING, the tiller control is released.
By actuating the key ”AUTO”, the tiller control is de--activated, the main operator unit is
active.
