Synchronizing the EK80 by means of a serial port
If you want to use the EK80 as a master or slave in a synchronized system, you must set
it up for such operation. To do this, you must select which communication port to use for
the synchronization interface, and you must select the requested synchronization mode.
Prerequisites
You have an RS2-232 interface port on your Processor Unit that allows you to use the
CTS/RTS connections.
For "slave" operation, a remote system (for example
K-Sync
) must be available to
provide trigger pulses. For "master" operation, a remote hydroacoustic system (sonar,
echo sounder) is connected. This remote system must be set up in "slave" mode.
You must be equipped with a standard set of tools. This tool set must comprise the
normal tools for electronic and electromechanical tasks. This includes different
screwdriver types, pliers, spanners, a cable stripper, a soldering iron, etc. Each tool
must be provided in various sizes. We recommend that all tools are demagnetized to
protect your equipment.
Context
Whenever more than one hydroacoustic system is installed on a vessel, interference may
occur. To avoid interference, you have these options:
• The systems are all connected to a common synchronization system.
• One of the acoustic systems is set up as "master", and controls the transmissions on
the other systems.
The EK80 offers functionality for remote transmit synchronization. It can be set up to
operate in either
Master
or
Slave
mode.
Tip
The Wide Band Transceiver (WBT) offers an
Auxiliary
port that can be used for
synchronisation purposes. This synchronization method may be more stable that the
traditional CTS/RTS connection to a serial port.
The
Synchronization Delay
functionality is unavailable if you use the
Auxiliary
port on
your Wide Band Transceiver (WBT) to synchronize the EK80.
When you work in the
Installation
dialog box, you must always select
Apply
to save the
changes made on a page. You must do this before you continue working on a different
page.
Procedure
1
Connect the synchronization cable from the remote system to an available
communication port on your Processor Unit.
This is described in the
Cable layout and interconnections
chapter. Observe the
applicable requirements related to cabling. Make sure that the total length of the
