K-Bridge Autopilot Automatic heading and track control K-Bridge Autopilot is an adaptive heading and track controller providing optimal steering behaviour under all weather and load conditions. Navigation Consoles with integrated AP panel Dual LAN Gyro Speed log Features Control unit A • Full adaptive control • Precision and Economy modes • Rate of turn and turn radius modes. Adjustment of • • • • • • turn rate and radius during active turn Complies with IMO track control performance standards when combined with K-Bridge ECDIS and K-Bridge Conning or K-Bridge Multi Functional Display. By combining K-Bridge Autopilot with K-Pos Dynamic Positioning, the K-Bridge Autopilot provides “all speed” heading and track control including zero crab angle control using side thrusters Operates with normal rudders and azimuth propulsion Bridge user interface as integral part of K-Bridge Operator Stations Autopilot software is hosted in K-Bridge Sensor Integrator navigation sensor interface or K-Pos Dynamic Positioning controller Interface to steering gear via Local Area Network or by direct wiring Motor/ Pump A AP Control Unit/ SINT Control unit B Control unit A Motor/ Pump A Motor/ Pump B FB Unit Instrumentation FB Unit Control FB Unit Control Control unit B Motor/ Pump B FB Unit Instrumentation K-Bridge Autopilot together with K-Bridge Display Units and K-Bridge Steering Control System Description K-Bridge Autopilot receives its orders from the AP control section of the K-Bridge display units and transmits steering commands to the steering system. The orders may be manual changes of wanted heading, turn radius or rate of turn or it may be orders originating from track control along a selected sailing route. Together with K-Bridge ECDIS and K-Bridge Conning, the K-Bridge Autopilot forms a complete system for automatic track control. Together with a K-Bridge Sensor Integrator and K-Bridge Steering Control System or K-Thrust Thruster Control System, the K-Bridge Autopilot is installed with virtually no extra cabling.
