Verifying the communication with the motion reference unit
(MRU)
The information from a motion reference unit (MRU) (normally heave, roll and pitch
information) is imported into the ES80 to increase the accuracy of the echo data. The
communication with the sensor is tested. This task is only applicable is you are using an
external motion reference unit on your ES80.
Prerequisites
The ES80 hardware units are installed as specified in this manual.
• The sensor is connected to a communication port on the ES80. The sensor is turned on
and in normal operation.
• The interface port is set up with the correct communication parameters.
• You are familiar with NMEA and other relevant datagram formats.
• You know how to set up the parameters for serial and local area network (LAN)
communication.
• All relevant vessel drawings, installation reports and/or measurement results are available.
• The ES80 system is turned on and operates normally.
• The vessel is berthed or at sea.
Neither tools nor instruments are required. For connections and communication parameters,
see the relevant end-user documentation from the sensor manufacturer.
Context
A motion reference unit (MRU) measures the vessel’s pitch and roll movements in the
sea. The information provided by the motion sensor is used by the ES80 to stabilize the
beams and the echo presentation.
Procedure
1 Open the
Setup
menu.
2 On the
Setup
menu, select
Installation
.
3 On the left side of the
Installation
dialog box, select
Motion Reference Unit
.
a If you use the motion sensor in the Motor Control Unit on the hull unit, make
sure that
LAN
is selected.
The sensor uses a local area network (LAN) port on your Processor Unit. A
message on the page verifies that it is connected to the ES80 beamformer
application.
