ELECTRONIC CHART DISPLAY INFORMATION SYSTEM (ECDIS) OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS INTRODUCTION WHAT IS AN ECDIS? 1

ECDIS stands for Electronic Chart Display and Information System. The Kelvin Hughes ECDIS exceeds the minimum performance standards specified by the IMO allowing safe and accurate navigation of the vessel using officially supplied electronic chart data. The ECDIS software is a standard Kelvin Hughes windows based product, and the screen displays will show ECDIS in the top right hand corner. WHAT ARE ELECTRONIC CHARTS? 2

Electronic charts are similar to the traditional navigation paper charts used by mariners for hundreds of years. These electronic charts are displayed on a computer, and provide all the information contained on a paper chart, but with additional features, such as for example, the display of position information obtained from an electronic position sensor. These features are described in more detail later on. 3

Due to the lack of global vector data, the Kelvin Hughes ECDIS s Raster and Vector data as officially released by International Hydrographic Organisations.

Vector Data 4

Vectorised data (in the form of a large database) is the only type of data that can be officially used to replace paper charts. Vector data is interactive, providing facilities for a fully flexible display, interrogation to ensure safe age and intelligent age planning. Raster Data 5

Issue 5

Raster data is effectively a photograph of a paper chart displayed on the screen. Raster data is not currently considered a sufficient replacement for the paper chart.

Page 11

KH3100

GENERAL DESCRIPTION 6

The ECDIS software provides route planning and route monitoring information and any danger to the safe navigation of the ship is indicated to the operator by a series of warnings and alarms. Additional messages are displayed when the ECDIS is part of a network. These messages are detailed in Appendix B - Network Messages. 7

Seven types of chart can be displayed on the ECDIS: (1)

Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC) charts (vector based).

(2)

Encrypted ENCs, supplied by Primar Stavanger(vector based).

(3)

Encrypted ENCs, supplied by UK iralty ENC service (vector based).

(4)

UK iralty Raster Chart Service (ARCS) charts (raster based).

(5)

US NOAA Digital (BSB) charts (raster based).

(6)

C-Map charts (vector based).

(7)

Digital nautical Charts (DNC) charts (vector based).

8

A combination of Raster and Vector charts can be displayed in up to three separate windows. Charts can be displayed in a number of different ways, e.g. at different scales, zoomed-in, zoomed-out, head up, north up, etc. 9

The optional Radar Interlay facility allows the Radar picture to be displayed on one window together with the chart data.

10

The system is connected to positioning systems such as GPS and peripheral equipment such as gyros, logs and autopilots. MODES OF OPERATION

11

The ECDIS operates in three basic modes; ECDIS, RCDS and ECS. These modes refer to the type of data in use. The mode is displayed at the top right of the screen

The text "Kelvin Hughes" may be replaced by a display identifier e.g. "No. 1 ECDIS". ECDIS 12

Only IHO S57 edition 3 chart data is being used. This data may be from an "official" or "unofficial" source. If ‘unofficial’ data is being used, an alarm is displayed (see Appendix A). In this mode, the equipment may be used to comply with the up-to-date charts requirement of regulation V/20 of the 1974 SOLAS 74 convention, according to IMO Resolution A.817(19) providing that a suitable back-up medium is available and flag state regulations allow. Page 12

Issue 5

KH3100

NOTE: Where Electronic Charts are used instead of paper charts, the electronic charts MUST be kept up-to-date. Up-to-date charts MUST be used for ECDIS to be compliant with regulation V/20 of the 1974 SOLAS 74 convention. RCDS 13

Raster chart data (and possibly IHO S57 edition 3 chart data) is being used. In this mode the equipment may be used to comply with the up-to-date charts requirement of regulation V/20 of the 1974 SOLAS 74 convention according to IMO Resolution A.817(19) providing that a suitable backup medium is available, that an adequate portfolio of paper charts is carried and flag state regulations allow. ECS 14

Some other type of chart data is being used, e.g. C-Map. In this mode, the equipment may NOT be used to comply with the up-to-date charts requirement of regulation V/20 of the 1974 SOLAS 74 convention according to IMO Resolution A.817 (19).

SOFTWARE SECURITY 15

If the system is started up, without the correct security device attached, the dialogue box shown below will be displayed on screen and the ECDIS will be disabled from use.

16

If this dialogue box is displayed; (1)

Click ‘OK’, to shutdown the ECDIS.

(2)

Attach the correct security device.

(3)

Restart the ECDIS system.

ELECTRONIC MANUAL 17

An electronic copy of the Manual for ECDIS may be installed on the system. If it has been installed, it can be accessed from the Main Menu (Refer to Figure 36). Selecting Manual from the Main Menu opens the on-screen Manual. NOTE: The Manual is displayed within Adobe Acrobat Reader. Instructions on how to use Adobe Acrobat can be found within the Adobe Acrobat Reader Help. Issue 5

ENTERING AND SHUTTING DOWN ECDIS ENTERING ECDIS 18

The method of access to the ECDIS software depends on the system on which it is installed. On some systems ECDIS is loaded at switch on, for other systems it is selected from a menu or dialogue box. 19

When the workstation is powered up, the chart display area is initially grey. When the ECDIS receives a position, the Vector Chart covering that position is automatically loaded at an appropriate scale. If no position is available the chart display area remains grey and a chart will have to be loaded manually (refer to paragraph 206). SHUTDOWN OF ECDIS 20

Under normal conditions ECDIS should be shutdown from the Main Menu, Shutdown option. Refer to paragraph 196 for details. Shutting down ECDIS will either shut the computer down or return to a main menu or dialogue box, depending on the system. POWER UP FOLLOWING SHUTDOWN 21

When switching on the ECDIS following a shutdown initiated from the Main Menu option, the software starts up with settings in accordance with IEC1174.

22

If the shutdown was caused by a power interruption or by Switching Off the system without first initiating a shutdown from the ECDIS Main Menu, when ECDIS is switched on the system restarts with some settings remaining the same as prior to the shutdown. For details of which settings remain unchanged, refer to paragraph 200. NOTE:

Page 14

It is highly recommended that the Shutdown Procedure described in paragraph 196 is used.

Heading 50

The Heading value displayed is usually the True heading, indicated by a T displayed in the Heading Type box adjacent to the Heading value. To select the Heading type: (1)

Click on the Heading Type box. A drop-down menu of heading input options is displayed, as shown in Figure 13 below.

Figure 13 - Heading Input Selection Options (2)

NOTES:(1) (2)

Click on the required option. If Manual Gyro is selected, the Heading Type box changes to Man and a Manual Heading is shown. An alarm reminds the operator to adjust the manual heading at regular intervals if he has not done so (refer to Appendix A, paragraph 14). If one of the other gyro input options is selected the type box will show a T, indicating true heading. Invalid Heading Sensors are shown in grey and can NOT be selected. ECDIS only uses the True Heading or a Manual Heading input.

51

If for any reason the Heading input fails, the Heading reading will be shown as ***** , indicating that the heading is invalid. The appropriate alarm message(s) will appear in the Alarm List and the Heading line and Beam line are no longer displayed on the chart. If Ownship is displayed on the chart, the ship symbol (two concentric circles) is shown instead of the ship outline symbol. 52

Heading sensor types that require initial setting (e.g. Synchro Gyro) will also require resetting following a heading input failure. If a heading input failure occurs; the heading value will be shown on a Red background, to indicate that the value requires setting. Once the heading value has been set, the background colour of the heading value returns to normal. 53

An ECDIS fitted with a standard Gyro card maintains the heading for as long as inputs reach the card, even if the ECDIS is switched off.

54

In the event of a Heading Failure the following occur:

Issue 5

(1)

If the system is set to Track Control, it automatically switches to Manual Steering and a ‘Track Control Stopped’ alarm message is provided.

Page 27

KH3100

A Practical Example 74

The system is usually selected to run using WGS84 datum. The wishes to enter an OSGB 36 position which has been taken from a paper chart, as a waypoint. (1)

Load the required chart (refer to paragraph 206) and from Route Planning (refer to paragraph 387), enter the first part of the route as WGS84.

(2)

Change the datum to OGSB 36 (refer to paragraph 66); note that the values for latitude and longitude of the previously entered waypoints change to reflect the new datum. Enter the coordinate for the OGSB 36 waypoint.

(3)

Change the datum to WGS84. The values for latitude and longitude of all waypoints change to reflect WGS84 datum. This change in the value of latitude and longitude also applies for sensor positions, cursor positions, etc.

Loss of Position Data 75

If position data is lost for any reason, the ECDIS display switches to Failure DR mode and the D (shown if a differential position sensor is used) will disappear from the Sensor Information. Failure DR mode provides a dead reckoned position based on the selected heading and speed sensors and the last good position. The following alarms will also be provided: "Loss of Position Fixing Data" And specific alarm(s) detailing the cause of the loss of position data. NOTE: The system does NOT automatically switch to another Sensor or use the position data if it returns. This avoids a jump in position occurring, which could result in unexpected behaviour of the Autopilot when in Track Control mode. 76

After a period of 2 minutes (default), if the position sensor data has not been restored the following alarm message is also displayed: "Still using Estimated Position"

NOTES: (1)

(2)

Page 28

The default setting for the "Still using Estimated Position" alarm is set to 2 minutes. This and other alarm settings can be altered, if required, provided that the correct is entered. Refer to paragraphs 143 and 430 for details. If the ECDIS is in Track Control mode and the position sensor data has not been restored for 10 minutes, the ECDIS automatically switches to Heading Control mode.

Issue 5

KH3100

STEERING MODE 77

Steering Mode, shown in Figures 19 to Figure 21, may be set as follows: (1)

Manual or Autopilot Steering.

Figure 19 - Steering Mode (Manual Steering)

Figure 20 - Steering Mode (Autopilot Steering) (2)

Heading Control.

(3)

Track Control.

Manual/Autopilot Steering 78

The system defaults to Manual/Autopilot mode at start-up. If the autopilot is engaged (Local Control) Autopilot steering is displayed. If the autopilot is not engaged (e.g. Wheel steering)), Manual steering is displayed. With either Manual or Autopilot steering selected, the ECDIS is not controlling the motion of the vessel, although if a route is loaded, the system provides steering guidance to the next Waypoint on the nearest leg of the route. NOTE: Some autopilots do not supply information indicating local control. For these, Autopilot steering is not displayed. NOTE: For autopilots which do supply steering mode information, if the information is not available Steering mode unknown is displayed.

KH3100

Heading Control 79

When Heading Control is selected the cross track error indicator is replaced by SET HDG, as shown in Figure 22. This enables the operator to select a heading to send to the autopilot. As for Manual Steering, the system provides steering guidance to the next waypoint on the nearest leg of the route, if a route is loaded.

Figure 22 - SET HDG NOTE: To enable the autopilot to accept control from the ECDIS, most autopilots require setting to NAV System control mode or equivalent. Track Control 80

Track Control allows the autopilot to steer a selected route, steering Ownship along each leg in turn, until the end of the route is reached. Track Control is only available under the following conditions: (1)

A route must be loaded.

(2)

It must be possible to sail the route (see paragraph 422; Checking a Route), i.e. planned speeds must NOT be too fast or slow, planned turns must NOT be too tight and the route geometry must be valid.

(3)

The route must be checked for safety (see paragraph 422; Checking a Route).

(4)

The Position sensor must be a GPS, providing valid data.

(5)

The Heading sensor must be valid.

(6)

The Speed sensor must be valid.

(7)

Ownship must be within channel limits.

(8)

Ownship’s heading must be sufficiently aligned with the leg bearing.

(9)

Ownship's speed must be sufficient to give steerage for track control.

NOTE: Under conditions 7 and 8 above, a Temporary Track can be used. Refer to paragraph 89 for details.

Temporary Track 89

A Temporary Track can be used when Ownship is outside the Track Limits or the heading is not correctly aligned with the leg bearing (refer to paragraph 86 ).

90

If the Temporary Track option is selected (by selecting Yes in the dialogue boxes shown in Figure 31 or Figure 32), Route Planning is automatically started (refer to paragraph 381). A Temporary Track is automatically generated and displayed in orange, as an alternative route. The Temporary Track shows the suggested route to the Primary Route and indicates the best waypoint at which to the Primary Route.

Figure 34 - Route

91

The Temporary Track to route is positioned, so that the first turn will occur in 2 minutes. The 2 minute period is maintained (by automatically moving the waypoint) until the Temporary Track is checked or modified. 92

If the Temporary Track is not acceptable, it can be modified, in the same way as described in Route Planning (refer to paragraph 381).

Page 34

Issue 5

KH3100

93

Once the Route is acceptable it should be checked (refer to paragraph 422) then the Route Planning box should be closed. The following message is displayed.

Figure 35 - Route message 94

If Yes is selected, the Primary Route becomes the alternative route (displayed in Orange), the new generated " Route" becomes the Primary Route (displayed in Red) and Track Control is started. When the ship reaches the point where the Primary Route meets the alternative route (original primary route) is reached, the Temporary Track disappears and the alternative route automatically reverts back to being the Primary Route again. 95

If No is selected, Track Control does not start.

Behaviour at Waypoints 96

During Track Control, as a Waypoint is ed, the following sequence of events occur: (1)

At between 3 to 5 minutes before the Wheel Over Point, an ‘Approaching Critical Point on Route’ alarm is triggered.

(2)

At between 30-60 seconds before the Wheel Over Point, an ‘Acknowledge Course Change’ alarm is triggered. (This is normally only enabled on vessels with Lloyds NAV1 certification).

(3)

At the Wheel Over Point, the behaviour of ECDIS and the Autopilot depend on the certification of the vessel, as follows: (a)

ANTS, DNV Watch 1 certified or IEC62065 - Track Control Systems compliant vessels: The vessel makes the turn, regardless of whether the ‘Acknowledge Course Change’ alarm has been acknowledged or not. If the alarm has not been acknowledged, a 'Course Change Not Acknowledged' alarm is raised. NOTE:

(b)

Lloyds NAV1 certified vessels: The vessel makes the turn only once the ‘Acknowledge Course Change’ alarm is acknowledged. If the alarm has not been acknowledged, Track Control will stop and a ‘Track Control Stopped’ alarm is triggered. NOTE:

Issue 5

This is the normal behaviour for uncertified vessels

The Acknowledge course change may be at the ECDIS or at the Autopilot, depending upon the type of autopilot being used.

Page 35

KH3100

End of Route 97

At between 3 to 5 minutes before the end of the route is reached, an ‘Approaching End of Route’ alarm is triggered.

98

When the end of the primary Route is reached, the ECDIS automatically changes Steering Mode from Track Control to Heading Control and the following Warning alarms are provided: ‘Track Control Stopped’ and ‘End of Route Reached’. An audible alarm also sounds, provided that Audio is set to ON within the Alarm Setup box. 99

Once switched to Heading Control steering mode, the ship will continue on its final Heading at the time of reaching the end of the Route. This allows the navigator to take over and pilot the ship safely to its final destination. Track Control System 100

If the ECDIS is part of a track control system as defined in IEC62065, Track Control can be initiated from the Autopilot.

101

When NAV System Control (or equivalent) is selected at the Autopilot, the ECDIS attempts to enter Track Control Mode. If track control is not possible, e.g. because no route has been selected, Heading Control is initiated (refer to paragraph 80 for other possible reasons). 102

If a local steering mode or manual steering is selected at the autopilot while the ECDIS is in control, the ECDIS will relinquish control.

CROSS TRACK ERROR INDICATOR 103

The navigator is provided with a graphical representation of the position of the ship with respect to the route and the channel limits (channel limits are set when planning the route). If the ship is to port, or starboard of the route, this is described as the Cross Track Error (XTE). If the ship goes outside the channel limits, a yellow arrowhead appears to the left, or the right of the channel limit indicator and a cross track alarm occurs. CROSS TRACK ERROR (XTE) 104

A numerical indication of cross track error is provided in the XTE box.

COURSE TO STEER (CTS) 105

The navigator is advised of the course to steer, in order to stay on, or return to the route.

WAYPOINT 106

The waypoint number and description in the box located below the CTS box is the next waypoint.

KH3100

RADAR SETUP (Optional) 111

The ECDIS allows a radar image to be interlayed with the chart data. This radar image is effectively a slave picture to the master radar. The radar image appears overlayed on the chart, but critical features such as buoys show through. When Radar Setup is selected the box shown in Figure 37 is displayed across the bottom of the chart area.

Figure 37 - Radar Setup Box 112

The Radar Setup box is used to adjust the clarity and type of information shown on the Radar interlay. The following may be set by the operator:

Image 113

The radar interlay can be set to be transparent or solid. Choosing Transparent allows the navigator to view the chart through the radar interlay. Choosing Solid may obscure some of the chart information behind the radar image. Trails 114

The Radar Trails may be switched on or off and the trail time may be adjusted accordingly. Trails may be reset using the Clear button.

Rain 115

The rain adjustment reduces clutter from precipitation.

Sea 116

Sea adjustment reduces sea clutter returns. Maximum attenuation takes place at zero range, decreasing as range increases.

117

Auto Sea sets the sea control automatically

Issue 5

Page 39

KH3100

Gain 118

The gain adjustment is used to set the signal threshold of radar signals displayed on the screen. With the correlator switched OFF (Video Correlator 0), increase the gain until an even ‘speckled’ background is just visible on the screen. NOTE: If the setting is too high, a poor quality picture masked by excessive noise results; if set too low, weak targets are lost and there is a reduction in the detection range. The rain, sea or clutter controls do not adjust the master radar settings, only the radar image on the ECDIS. Video Correlator 119

The video correlator may be used to remove radar interference, or clutter and radar interference.

120

The video correlator is provided with three options; 0, 1, and 2. (1)

The ‘0’ setting (No Correlation) means that the correlation is switched OFF, returns are displayed as raw radar.

(2)

The ‘1’ setting (Minimum Correlation) means that the Interference Rejection facility is switched ON, and consecutive transmissions are compared and only signals present on both transmissions are painted. Interference from other radars is suppressed and Receiver noise reduced.

(3)

The ‘2’ setting (Maximum Correlation) means that signal correlation reduces random clutter returns and preserves radar signals that correlate (are present) for two consecutive scans of the antenna. Targets that do not paint consistently are displayed at the medium echo colour if one scan is missed, at the weak echo colour if two paints are missed and not at all if more that two scans are missed. Interference Rejection is also switched ON, and Receiver noise is further reduced.

Boost 121

The Boost button enables the operator to switch the Radar boost On or Off. The Boost enhances the radar signals by stretching the size of strong video signal returns (in range). The facility will only take effect on the 6nm or greater range scales. Radar Source 122

This drop down list box only appears if ECDIS is interfaced to appropriate equipment.

123

The list allows selection of the radar transceiver from which the radar image is to be displayed.

124

If the transceiver is shown in grey, it is not mastered by a radar display and therefore cannot be selected.

The Safety Settings box allows the to set Depth, Guardzone and Ship settings.

NOTE: Ownship’s parameters, e.g. length, turning characteristics, etc., are set-up during commissioning and cannot be accessed by the navigator. The only parameters that need to be changed at the start of a voyage are safety contour, safety depth and air draught. These allow for changes in load conditions and ensure safe navigation of the vessel. Depth 127

The following Depth settings are provided:

Safety Contour 128

The Safety Contour is used as part of the 3-dimensional guardzone (refer to paragraph 135). The safety contour setting should allow for the draught of the vessel, plus an additional safety margin. The safety contour on the chart is picked out by a bold black line. NOTE: If the chart data does not contain a depth contour at the selected safety contour depth, then the next deepest contour is used. Safety Depth 129

If spot soundings are selected for display, then the value entered for the safety depth will differentiate between shallow soundings (shown in black) and deep soundings (shown in

grey). Safety Contour/Safety Depth Link 130

Issue 5

If the link is ticked, changing safety contour or safety depth changes both.

KH3100

Shallow Contour 131

When four depth shades are selected (refer to paragraph 335), the shallow contour defines the depth shade boundary between 0m and the safety contour setting. The area between 0m and the shallow contour is shaded blue and the area between the shallow contour and the safety contour setting is shaded light blue. If two depth shades are selected (refer to paragraph 334), there is no differentiation between changes in depth either side of the shallow contour, as only one shade (blue) is used. NOTE: If the chart data does not contain a depth contour at the selected shallow contour depth, then the next deepest contour is used. Deep Contour 132

When four depth shades are selected, the Deep Contour defines the depth shade boundary between the safety contour setting and depths greater than the safety contour. The area between the safety contour and the deep contour is shaded grey and the area below the deep contour is white. If two depth shades are selected (refer to paragraph 334), there is no differentiation between changes in depth either side of the deep contour, as only one shade (white) is used. NOTE: If the chart data does not contain a depth contour at the selected deep contour depth, then the next deepest contour is used. 133

The depth contours (with 4 depth shades selected) are displayed on the charts, as shown in Figure 39 below. Note that the transition between shallow and deep soundings is set to 16m while the safety contour is set to 10m.

Notes on Installing and Updating ENC Charts ENC Chart CDs 316

ENC charts and updates, whether encrypted or not, are supplied on two types of CD, Base CDs and Update CDs.

317

Base CDs contain the Base cell (chart) and any updates that were available at the time of issue of the CD.

Issue 5

Page 91

KH3100

318

Update CDs contain updates to the cells supplied on the Base CD. They also contain any new editions of base cells issued since the Base CD was issued.

319

Most ENC chart services supply all updates since the Base CD on each update CD, i.e. a cumulative system. This means that only the Base CD and the most recent update CD need to be stored. This applies to the services from Primar Stavanger, iralty ENC Service, Australian Hydrographic Service Seafarer ENCs, Japanese Hydrographic Associated ENCs. 320

Some ENC chart services do not use a cumulative system. For these services each update CD since the last Base CD must be used in the correct sequence to update a chart fully. This applies to Digital Ocean ENCs (NDI) authorised by the Canadian Hydrographic Service General Procedure for Installing and Updating ENCs 321

GREYSCALE TEST 369

The Greyscale test is a visual test that is used to determine the colour tracking of the CRT monitor. It is not applicable to LCD (flat screen) monitors. This test requires judgement on the part of the operator. 370

This test consists of putting a greyscale of at least 8 steps from black to white on the screen. The greyscale is made of rectangles 2.5 cm by 10 cm, orientated in a vertical direction. The greyscale is to be observed by the viewer from a distance of about 50 cm to 100 cm and any colour shifts in any of the rectangles of grey noted. 371

They greyscale should appear to be a neutral shade of white in all rectangles. Each should appear to be the same ‘colour’ as the others, even though varying in intensity from black to white. Colour shading in any of the rectangles indicates a problem with display adjustment. Interpretation of Results 372

The observer will see either a greyscale that is pure and free from colouring, or one which shows varying degrees of shading. If no colouring is seen, then the CRT is performing properly. If slight shading is seen, then the CRT is usable. If there is a lot of shading, then the CRT may be providing false colour information. 373

This test is used as an indication of performance of the CRT, but not an absolute measure. It should be noted that the identification and the degree of problem will vary according to the operator, so should not be considered as a quantitative test. COLOUR DIFFERENTIATION TEST DIAGRAM 374

The diagram comprises twenty squares extending over the whole of the screen (refer to Figure 94). Each square is coloured with one of the main ENC background area shades, and each carries a diagonal line in one of the important line or symbol colours. The background colours are:

Checking a Route 422

When the route has been planned, it should be checked for any possible hazards. Two types of check are possible; Full Check and Safety Check, using the corresponding buttons in the Route Planning box. 423

When selected, Full Check initiates a check of the planned route for buoys, wrecks, pipelines, cables, or areas of danger, which could compromise the safe navigation of the ship or should be brought to the attention of the Navigator/Operator. The route is also checked for planned speed too fast or too slow, planned turns too tight and whether the route geometry is valid (i.e. whether the selected turn radius is compatible or incompatible with the length of a leg). 424

Any potential hazards found by the check are highlighted on the route using graphical symbols as shown in Figure 107, below.

NOTE: Only restricted and cautionary areas are checked for hazards, not traffic lanes.

Figure 107 - Danger Symbols NOTE: A long route may take several minutes to check. 425

When selected, Safety Check initiates a check of the planned route for Dangers, i.e. objects with which the vessel can collide (e.g. shallow water, low bridges, etc.).

APPENDIX B NETWORK OPERATION SWITCH ON 1

When there is a network comprising more than one ECDIS, one of the ECDIS is designated as a server and the others are designated as clients. Each ECDIS is provided with a copy of the routes, maps and mariner’s notes utilised by the network. All data files are copied from the server to each client ECDIS in the network on start-up and whenever a data file is changed by either server or clients. 2

When the ECDIS is loaded the message shown in Figure 1 is displayed on each client.

Figure 1 - Server Connection Message EDITING ROUTES, MAPS AND MARINER’S NOTES 3

Data is shared between all networked ECDIS workstations for Routes, Maps and Mariner's Notes. To avoid network conflicts, where more than one is trying to edit the same Route or Map, a warning message is provided. A typical network message for a route editing conflict is shown below in Figure 2.

Figure 2 - Typical Network Message for a Route Editing Conflict

Issue 5

Page B.3

KH3100 Appendix B 4

When a map is loaded on one ECDIS and the map is changed on another ECDIS in the network, the map is updated automatically and a notification message is provided at all other ECDIS workstations. A typical network message for an updated Map is shown below in Figure 3.

Figure 3 - Typical Network Message for a Map Update NOTE: A notification message is not provided when Mariner's Notes are updated. 5

When the operator has a route loaded as Main or Alternate and it is changed on another system, the message shown in Figure 4 is displayed.

Figure 4 - Update Route Message 6

The operator is given the choice of whether or not he wants to reload.

7

When an edited route, map or mariner’s note is saved, it is automatically saved to the server ECDIS, which then updates each ECDIS in the network and sends the appropriate notification message to each ECDIS.

Page B.4

KH3100 Appendix B NETWORKED TRACK CONTROL 8

In complex ECDIS network systems, a group of ECDISs can be configured to operate together for track control.

ECDIS 1

ECDIS 2

ROUTE PLANNING ECDIS

AUTOPILOT CD-6927

Figure 5 - Example ECDIS network 9

In the example above, ECDIS1 and ECDIS 2 are configured to operate together for track control whilst the Route Planning ECDIS is not.

10

This means that if a route is loaded on either ECDIS 1 or ECDIS 2 it will be loaded on both ECDIS 1 and ECDIS 2 but not on the route planning ECDIS. Similarly, if a route is loaded on the Route Planning ECDIS it will not be loaded on either of the other ECDISs. 11

Issue 5

This behaviour applies to loading primary and alternate routes, changes of steering mode and acknowledgement of track control related message boxes.

Page B.5

KH3100 Appendix B NETWORK PROBLEMS 12

If network problems occur, the warning shown in Figure 6 is displayed on each client ECDIS in the network.

Figure 6 - Network Fault Message 13

If Yes is selected, data may be edited, but observe the following: (1)

The same data may be edited at more than one stand-alone client. When the server becomes available, the dialogue box shown in Figure 8 appears.

(2)

The client which updates the server first will lose its changes, because when the second client updates the server, the data from the first client is overwritten.

NOTE: If the connection to the server is lost while a route, map or mariner’s note is being loaded for editing purposes, the message, or one similar to the message, shown in Figure 7 appears. This means that editing cannot take place. When OK is selected the dialogue box disappears.

Figure 7 - Routes, Maps, Mariner’s Notes Directory Dialogue Box 14

If No is selected from the message dialogue box shown in Figure 6 and attempts are made to select the Map Edit, Route Planning and Mariner's Notes facilities, the message shown in Figure 6 is displayed again.

Page B.6

Issue 5

KH3100 Appendix B 15

When the network connection is lost, each ECDIS keeps a list of file names that have changed while in ‘Stand-Alone’ mode. These changes are distributed to all ECDIS workstations when the Server is operational and the network connections are restored. Each client ECDIS which has made the changes in Stand-Alone mode receives the message shown in Figure 8 when the network is restored.

Figure 8 - Changed Files List Network Message 16

Select the Update Server option. The changes are then copied to the Server ECDIS and then copied from the server to all client ECDIS workstations.

NOTE: Whenever the server is restarted, any changed files are copied to the server before the server copies all data files to each client ECDIS. 17

If the network connections are restored following a server shutdown and there have been no changes at the ECDIS clients, the message shown in Figure 1 is displayed at all ECDIS workstations.

KH3100 Appendix D INTRODUCTION 1

2

ECDIS maintains two sets of log files: (1)

The 12 hour log - This log keeps a detailed record of the status of the system.

(2)

The Voyage log - This log stores details of the vessels track for a whole voyage.

The log files are written in ASCII with fields separated by commas. Once backed-up, these files may be viewed in a standard text editor such as ‘Notepad’.

THE 12 HOUR LOG 3

The 12 hour log is split into several files of up to 12 hours each. A new file is created every midday and midnight. When a new log file is created any log file that is older than 24 hours is deleted. File name are constructed as follows:

4

Bytes

Details

0-3

The current year (E.G. 1999)

4-5

The numerical value of the current month (E.G. 06)

6-7

The current day (E.G. 14)

8-9

Either AM for the morning or PM for the afternoon.

10 - 13

The file extension. This is always ‘.ELD’

For example the file being used at 10:30 on the morning of the 3rd of October 2001 would be - “20011003AM.ELD”.

NOTE: If a log file has been saved to floppy disk, it may span across multiple disks. The first file will be named as above. Subsequent files have a number added before the .ELD extension indicating the sequence of files. 5

The file consists of records that are made up of lines of text. The first line in the record is the only line that starts in the fist column. The last line in a record is always blank All the other lines in the record make up a list of all the cells that are being used by the system at the time the record was logged. The first line (Vessel data) 6

Issue 5

This line of text consists of 7 data fields separated by commas the fields are as follows: (1)

The date and time- this is in the form YYYYMMDDhhmmss (Y = Year; M = Month, D = Day; h = hour; m = minute; s = second).

(2)

The Latitude - The latitude in degrees minutes and decimal minutes

(3)

The Longitude - The longitude in degrees minutes and decimal minutes

Page D.3

KH3100 Appendix D (4)

The vessel heading - The com heading in degrees and decimal degrees.

(5)

The vessel speed - The vessel speed in knots and decimal knots.

(6)

The position offset N - If the position of the vessel has an offset applied to it then this is the metres North.

(7)

The position offset E - If the position of the vessel has an offset applied to it then this is the metres East.

Subsequent Lines (Cell data) 7

All the other lines in the data record contain details of the cells in active use by the system. Each line consists of 6 data fields separated by commas. The line starts with 4 spaces. The fields are as follows (1)

Cell name - This is the full name of the original ENC cell supplied to the system (e.g. GB204000.000 ).

(2)

Agency code - The agency code of the data suppliers (e.g. 540).

(3)

Edition number - The edition number of the cell.

(4)

Issue date - The issue date of the cell

(5)

Update date - The date of the last update applied to the cell.

(6)

Update number - The number of the last update applied to the cell.

8

The above data is repeated for every cell being used by the system at the time. This includes all cells being displayed as well as all cells being used to check the guardzone of the vessel. End of Record Line 9

This is just a blank line used to indicate the end of the record.

THE VOYAGE LOG 10

The voyage log records details of the vessels position throughout the whole voyage (or until the operator chooses to clear it). The data is always logged into a file called “track.log” and can be backed up by the operator at any time. 11

12

The file when backed up is labelled, for example TRACK28Oct19991239_0.log where the name consists of: (1)

TRACK - Text

(2)

DDMMMYYYY - Day, month (characters), year

(3)

HHMM - Hours, minutes

(4)

_n.log - text where “n” is the number of the file if it is split over several disks.

The voyage log is made up of several record types with each consisting of a single line of ASCII text. Each record type is identified by the first 3 characters as follows:
