Auto track with Low Speed mode, all the available thrusters are used to provide full position and heading control.

Auto track with High Speed mode, the rudders or azimuth thrusters are used to control the vessel heading to minimize the cross track error while maintaining the required speed.

Auto track with Moving-Up mode, you can move the vessel a specified distance a long the track.

Low speed, High speed and Move-Up mode are selected from the auto track setting dialog box.

Page 52: Konsberg K-DP Guide

52

AUTO TRACK SETTING – HEADING. In slow speed and move-up mode, specify how the vessel

heading is to be control.1) By specifying a fixed heading which will be used

irrespective of the track course and the environmental conditions

2) Using the heading defined in the waypoint table for each track leg

3) Using the heading which required the minimum power to maintain, calculated according to the environmental force and vessel speed

4) By setting the heading to be always towards the next waypoint

In low speed and move up mode, you can also deselected the JAW axis ( so that the vessel heading is no longer controlled automatically), and use the joystick to control the vessel heading.

In high speed mode , the vessel heading is continuously updated to return the vessel to the track if it should drift of track. If required, you can specify limits for turning the rudders or azimuth thruster when running in high speed mode.

Page 53: Konsberg K-DP Guide

53

AUTO TRACK SETTING – SPEED.Clicking the setting on the Auto Track menu, or press the

track setup button in the controls button group.Using this dialog box, you can ; Specify how the vessel’s speed along the track is to be set.1) Using the speed defined in the waypoint table for each

track leg2) By manually specifying a speed which will be used for all

track leg. Specify the across speed set point that is used to

determine the component of the vessel speed that is perpendicular to the track direction.

In the move-up and low speed modes, specify the speed strategy to be used for passing waypoints:

1) Slowing down at each waypoint before continuing to the next

2) Passing the waypoint at constant speed, following an arc of a circle between the two track legs.

Page 54: Konsberg K-DP Guide

54

PREPARATION FOR AUTO TRACK MODE.

1. Ensure that the required Gyrocompasses are enabled. high speed mode at least two gyrocompasses must be enabled.

2. Ensure that the required wind sensor and VRS are enabled.

3. Ensure that the required position reference system are enabled

4. Ensure that the required thruster, propellers and rudders are enabled

5. Ensure that the waypoint table is correct.6. Use the Auto track settings dialog box.7. If required, you can set warning and alarm limits for cross

track deviation8. For move-up mode, use joystick or auto position mode to

position the vessel accurately on the track

Page 55: Konsberg K-DP Guide

55

RECOMMENDED START POSITION (LOW SPEED AND HIGH SPPED)

If you choose approach Track – track leg (rather than approach track-waypoint), you must ensure that your vessel is “ Past “ the previous waypoint before you enter Auto Track mode. See picture below.

WP7 is chosen as the start waypoint and track leg is chosen as the approach strategy. In this situation you might expect the vessel to approach the track leg between WP6 and WP7. However , the vessel start position is not “Past” WPT6. In this situation, the start waypoint is changed automatically to WP6 and the vessel will approach the track leg WP5 – WP6.

Page 56: Konsberg K-DP Guide

56

RUNNING IN AUTO TRACK (LOW SPEED) MODE.

1. Ensure that the procedures described in preparation for auto track mode have been carried out.

2. Press the Auto Track button in the modes button group twice.

The Auto track lamp becomes lit The position set point to the selected start waypoint The heading set point is set to the present heading. The vessel begins to approach the track maintaining the

present heading3 If a heading other than the present heading is required,

use the Auto track setting – heading dialog box to select the required heading

4 The vessel follows the track defined in the waypoint table5 The vessel stop at the last waypoint or continues to locally

generated waypoint away from the last waypoint.6 The system remains in Auto track mode until changed to

another mode.

Page 57: Konsberg K-DP Guide

57

JOYSTICK HEADING CONTROL.In the low speed mode, you can deselect the Jaw axis for

automatic control and use the joystick to control the vessel heading.

1. Press the JAW button in the modes button group twice within four seconds, and the jaw status lamp becomes unlit.

2. Control the vessel’s heading manually using the joystick.3. To return to automatic heading control, press JAW button

twice within four seconds again, the Jaw lamp is lit and the heading set point is set to the present heading.

STOPPING ON THE TRACK.4. Press the STOP on the track button in the control button

group twice , stop on track lamp becomes lit.5. The vessel will slow down and stop, and then either stay at

this position.

Page 58: Konsberg K-DP Guide

58

CHANGING TRACK DIRECTION (LOW SPEED MODE).To change the direction in which the track is being followed in

Auto Track (Low Speed) mode, change the Track Direction setting (Forward or Reverse) on the Auto Track Setting – General dialog box and click OK or Apply.

1. The status lamp of the Stop on Track button in the Controls button group becomes lit

2. The vessel will slow down and stop, and then either stay at this position or go back to the position it had when the change of direction was requested (depending on the selected STOP ON TRACK STRATEGY)

Note : The vessel will not turn 180º when changing track direction in Auto Track (low speed) mode. If moving forward before changing track direction, the vessel will go astern afterwards. If moving backwards before changing track direction, the vessel will go forward afterwards.

Page 59: Konsberg K-DP Guide

59

RUNNING IN AUTO TRACK (HIGH SPEED) MODE.1. Ensure that the procedures described in preparation for

Auto Track mode. (at least two gyro compasses must be carried out)

2. Use the steering dialog box to set the required steering parameters :

Rudder/azimuth limit and steering mode Steering gain3 Press the Auto track button in the modes button group

twice within four second The auto track lamp becomes lit The position set point is set to the selected start waypoint The heading is controlled to minimize the cross track error

while maintaining the wanted speed The vessel begins to approach the track4 The vessel follows the track defined in the waypoint table5 When the vessel reaches the last waypoint, it continues at

the same speed on the extension of the final track leg6 The system remains in auto track mode until you change

to another mode.
