Joystick Control System

Product catalog summary
Overview
NJoy is a joystick control system designed for manual control of engines and thrusters with a single joystick, as well as automatic position keeping. It is not a full-scale dynamic positioning system but offers simplified control for navigators, making it ideal for small workboats and yachts. The system has been widely adopted, with over 2000 systems delivered since 1992.

System Features
  • Auto functions based on dynamic positioning algorithms.
  • Integration with type-approved autopilot systems.
  • Compact design with a simple and intuitive GUI.
  • Remote support and fine-tuning capabilities.

System Highlights
  • Analogue interface with multiple input/output channels.
  • Support for DGPS, GYRO, and wind sensors.
  • Limited interface with propulsion, supporting up to 8 channels.

Control Modes
  • Standby Mode: Control from the bridge using traditional levers.
  • Joystick Auto Position & Heading (Jpos): Automatic heading and position control with adjustable gains and alarms.
  • Joystick Auto Heading & Manual Positioning (JHdg): Manual control of position with automatic heading maintenance.
  • Joystick Speed Control (Jspd): Automatic speed vector control with adjustable gains.
  • Joystick Eco Positioning (JEco): Optimizes heading against disturbances to minimize power consumption.
  • Joystick Anchor (JAnc): Sets optimal heading against disturbances using stern propulsion.

Thrust Allocation
The system calculates necessary forces and moments for position and heading control, with configurable thrust limits and configurations.

Alarm System
Includes online diagnostics, message reporting, and alarm acknowledgment with a color-coded alert status system and voice alarms.

Auto Wind Compensation
Generates control forces to compensate for wind disturbances.

Joystick Control System-2

Description NJoy our newest generation of Joystick control system. System features manual control of engines and thrusters with single joystick as well as automatic position keeping. Despite having same functionality and operation philosophy, NJoy is not a full scale dynamic positioning system. It is designed to be operated by navigator offering much more simple control comparing to DP. This solution is the best for small work boats and yachts, which require smart and intelligent automatic functions with combination of precise manual control but without complicated DP GUI or DP certification....

Joystick Control System-6

Joystick Auto Position & Heading (Jpos) Control Modes Standby mode Ship Control is provided from the Bridge Control Console, using engine telegraph levers, thruster control levers and steering levers or wheel. The system is in operation and is ready for control acceptance. The surge/sway forces and the yaw moment are controlled manually by using the joystick/knob. • Adjustable joystick gain (sensitivity) Joystick Auto Position & Heading (Jpos) Automatic keeping of the operator selected vessel heading. • Hold the vessel heading • Set new heading: absolute value or offset from the previous set-point...
