1.2 General Information on the Autopilot Configuration
Exact heading control or track control depends on the various basic adjustments of the
autopilot (for detailed information see Chapter 2.3, Chapter 2.4 and Chapter 4.13).
A difference is made of between the ship--specific and the operational adjustment of pa-
rameters.
1.2.1 Ship--specific Adjustments
Ship--specific adjustments are performed -- after installing the autopilot -- via the operator
unit. The controller--specific and the ship--specific parameter values will be entered into
a separate parameter list. These entries are to be performed once. As to system engi-
neering, these values are written into an EEPROM and, therefore, stored.
Ship--specific parameters are e.g.:
-- the ship’s length
-- the maximum rudder angle.
1.2.2 Operational Adjustments
Numbered among the operational adjustments are the controller--specific, variable pa-
rameter values.
Variable parameters are required in order to adapt the optimum controller characteristic
to different situations, such as:
-- other weather conditions
-- speed changes if no log sensor is available, etc.
These variable parameters are included in a parameter list as well. A part of this list is
continuously indicated on the LCD display of the operator unit.
By actuating the ” Trim ” key, a second set of parameters can be called up, indicated on
the LCD display and varied, if required.
This 2nd set of parameters is often used for special manoeuvres or operations (WORK
MODE) (see Chapter 2.2.9).
