DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
Kongsberg Simrad Dynamic Positioning (SDP) control systems integrate control of the
vessel’s propulsion systems via inputs from positioning systems, gyrocompasses, wind
speed and direction monitoring equipment, and any other sensors which can assist with
the automatic positioning of the vessel.
Commands to the thrusters can be based on two main types of systems. The first
version has conventional cabling of signals to and from thrusters, while the second
version has dual net communication. These commands control the dynamic positioning
system, thruster control, power management and other vessel control systems.
Many of Kongsberg’s Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems are based on common
hardware and software. Following is a list of current WinFrog drivers having outputs to
Simrad DP systems:
