2.2 Control Modes
2.2.1 Change Control Mode on a Station
Change control mode via operator joystick panel buttons or via the MODE button at the TFT Operator screen.
To change the control mode (for example, select auto positioning mode) on the active station (DP or JC) perform the
following actions:
1. Set station in control.
2. Select required sensors (navigation instruments) for the requested control mode.
3. Firmly push the control mode button on the operator joystick panel and wait for 2 seconds. When the button starts
flashing push again to confirm selection.
The following modes are selectable:
•
Manual Joystick Mode (MAN JOY).
•
Auto Joystick Mode (AUTO JOY).
•
Auto Heading Mode (AUTO HDG).
Note On classified systems Auto Heading mode is not available due to Class requirements.
•
Auto Positioning Mode (AUTO POS).
Changing control mode can also be executed on the large screen by performing the following actions:
Press MODE and the desired mode button on the large screen (MAP tab). Pressing mode requires double clicking if that
is configured (Figure 20: DP MAP Screen on page 32).
Wind compensation setting is valid for all modes. If wind compensation is turned on in manual joystick mode, it will
remain on after switching to auto joystick or auto position mode, and vice versa.
Gain settings are individual. The joystick gain works for joystick manual and joystick auto mode. Auto positioning mode
has separate gain setting. Each gain setting can be configured via the MAP screen (Joystick Gain on page 58).
2.2.2 Manual Joystick Mode
The operator manually controls the position of the vessel using the Joystick and controls the heading using the Heading
knob.
When taking the DP system into control the system starts in manual joystick mode without wind correction. The current
correction is always off in manual joystick mode. When the system returns to manual joystick mode the operator must
check if wind correction is in the desired state (on or off) by looking at the status of the wind correction button. The
operator can switch wind correction on or off.
