DP Message Format and Feed Behaviour
DP Message Format
This must be configured to match the vessel’s DP system (see
To Set the DP Message Format
1. Enter Service Access mode if you wish to use a format that is not accessible in normal access
mode (see
2. Click on
More >> DP Feed
.
3. Click on the up or down arrow in order to select the required message format.
4. Click on the
Apply
button to confirm the change.
DP Feed Behaviour
The DP Feed Behaviour options are two tick-boxes available on the DP Feed pane in Service
Access Mode:
Keep DP feed always enabled
Allow refresh timer & zero strings
These determine what data is sent to the DP system if a target is lost during tracking. Also when
the system is running but not tracking, or is suspended.
The DP Feed Behaviour settings must be set correctly for the vessel’s DP system. Incorrect
settings can cause serious problems. Refer to the vessel’s DP system supplier for the
precise configuration.
The following behaviour applies when tracking:
For all DP formats except for MT Custom:
DP Feed
Always
Enabled
Allow Refresh
Timer and
Zero Strings
Output when tracking and target is lost
Null data (gaps in data string)
Null data (gaps in data string)
Zero data (coordinates set to zero, status = V
†
)
Zero data (coordinates set to zero, status = V
†
)
For the MT Custom DP format, Zero data (coordinates set to zero, status = V) is output when the
target is lost. The DP Feed Behaviour options have no effect.
DP Feed
Always
Enabled
Allow Refresh
Timer and
Zero Strings
Output when target is visible but not tracked
Null data (gaps in data string)
Void data (actual coordinates but status = V)
Zero data (coordinates set to zero, status = V)
Void data (actual coordinates but status = V)
For MDL Standard, MDL Multi-Target and Kongsberg Standard DP formats:
DP Feed
Always
Enabled
Allow Refresh
Timer and
Zero Strings
Output when target is visible but not tracked
Null data (gaps in data string)
Null data (gaps in data string)
Zero data (coordinates set to zero)
Zero data (coordinates set to zero)
The following behaviour applies whilst the system is operational but not tracking:
For NMEA0183R and NMEA0183P DP formats:
