AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY namic Positioning System iïEM OCF SERVER 2 UNAVAILABLE The Mega-Guard Dynamic Positioning System (DP) automatically controls a vessel's heading and position by activating thrusters based upon data as received from position reference systems, gyrocompasses, wind sensors and motion reference units. The Auto Track mode allows the ship to move along a pre-defined track at low speed as defined by the operator. The Mega-Guard Joystick Control System (JC) is a basic version of the Mega-Guard DP system and allows the operator to automatically control the heading and manually...

AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY • Cable and pipe laying vessels (DP2) • Offshore supply vessels (DP1 and DP2) • Ocean salvage vessels (DP2) • Multi purpose vessels (DP1 and DP2) • Platform crew boats (DP1) ► The following modes of operation can be selected via the DP Operator Panel: Joystick and the heading is controlled via the Heading I the position of the vessel via Joystick and the heading is kept automatically to the i Joystick Manual Heading Mode: The operator manually controls the position of the vessel i Joystick Auto Heading 1 Auto Position Mode: Station keeping. The position of the vessel...

AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY ► Overview position reference • DGPS/Glonass with NTRIP (DGN-5000) • Hydroacoustic Position Reference (HPR-5000) • Taut wire Posilion Reference (TPR-5000) Third party position reference systems like DGPS with I ALA, Seastar or Veripos and position reference systems based on laser and radar are supported as The Mega-Guard DP system supports up to 16 ti ff s re ni posilion reference systems. The final position is calculated taking into account the reliability, accuracy and weighing factor of each position reference system. ► DGPS/Glonass with NTRIP The Mega-Guard...

AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY DGPS/Glonass with NTRIP, Hydroacoustic and Taut wire Position Refere Position Reference The Mega-Guard Hydroacoustic Position Reference (HPR) is applied as a cost effective and highly accurate position reference system for the Mega-Guard Dynamic Positioning System (DP2 and DP3). The position of the seabed USBL Transponders are used as reference points for the ship mounted USBL Transceiver. The USBL Transceiver, MRU and Gyro are connected to the USBL Control Cabinet. The HPR Workstation accurately calculates the relative position of the vessel taking into account the...
