VOYAGE DATA RECORDER - VR 2272B 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background In 1974 the Safety of Life at Sea Convention (SOLAS) of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) acknowledged the value and expressed the desire of having recorders on ships similar to the ”black box” flight recorders for aircraft. In 1996, VDR requirements, which had been debated for a long time, began to form in the navigation and electronics subgroup (NAV) of the IMO The IMO passed resolution A.861 (20) in Nov. 1997 and the IEC standard 61996 was completed The IEC 61996-2 Shipborne Voyage Data Recorder Performance Requirements describes data acquisition and storage functions 1.2 System Architecture Architecture for complying with this standard has emerged that has two major components: In the first, the ship’s interfaces, data acquisition, and soft recording functions are encompassed in the Data Management system consisting of the Main Electronic Unit (MEU) which includes the Radar Acquisition unit (Epiphan), Audio Microphones and Remote Alarm. These units are intended for installation in a protected environment The second component is the Fixed Capsule or the Float Free Capsule. The Fixed Capsule encompasses the final storage medium in a protected environment from any extreme events. The Fixed Capsule is intended for external installation in a clear area on top of the superstructure. The Float Free Capsule encompasses the final storage medium in an EPIRB type unit. This Capsule is intended for external installation in a clear area on the superstructure which will enable the Capsule to be released clear of the vessel. In the event of an incident the Capsule may be recovered and the data downloaded and used during accident investigation.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AMI Marine VR2272B conforms to all the current IMO / IEC / SOLAS standards. The system is designed such that it can be installed on new ships and retrofits alike. The VR2272B captures the ships radar, audio and proprietary signal data and stores it in an approved final recording media the capsule. Data capture is fully automated and requires no further action from the ships crew, except for the data save override which prevents data loss, and the download operation when required. A minimum of 12 hours historic playback data can be recovered by downloading the information from the Capsule onto a portable laptop computer. Up to a further 2 days of ships data information can also be accessed from the system memory. The system records data without interruption during the download process. The Standard Voyage Data Recorder outfit comprises:

3.2 Installation of Software Normal procedure is to replace the Hard Disk Drive. In the event that a complete install is required and Windows 2000 Professional has been installed proceed with the following guide. On the CDP ensure the DIP switch SW4 position 5 to the ON position (toward the board) this stops the auto restart when the M3 software is not running. CDP SW4 Functions

1. ON for Full audio test of GRP1 and GRP2 i.e. if microphones are connected in ports 4 or 5. OFF for audio test of GRP1 only i.e. if GRP2 VHF only is fitted.

2. ON for data input test. This disables the DATA filter OFF is the Normal position.

3. ON will disable the AUTO Dimming of the front panel LED. OFF is the Normal position.

4. Not Used. For future developments. 5. ON for ‘Service Mode’ this option will disable the AUTO Reset function.

If during software setup the CDP did not receive any messages from the M3 programme it would reset the system. OFF is the Normal position.

6. ON will enable the audible alarm. This is the Normal position. OFF will disable the audible alarm. This is used when setting to work.

Normal switch positions during operation as seen from the front.

Pre-requisites SVGA Monitor Keyboard and Mouse USB DVD/CDROM Step 1. From the AMI CD locate and run the following exe installation program, accepting all the defaults. M3Setup.exe This will create the following sub directories in the install path: “C:\Program Files\ESL\M3 with a sub directory \Data, with sub dirs, \NMEA, \Sound and \Video. These sub directories are initially empty and will hold the temporary data files. From the AMI CD locate the NO VIDEO.bmp and NO VIDEO.zip files and replace the installed versions in “C:\Program Files\ESL\M3\” VGA2USBSetup.exe This will initially give you an option, select ‘just your self’ continue the installation. The setup will create the following folder: C:\Program Files\ Epiphan Systems VGA2USB\ Now close down the M3 program and start up again to make sure everything starts up and capturing OK 3.2.1 M3 Programme The M3 software is based on the Full Monty software suite. It combines all the features into a single program, eliminating the need for NMEApro with DDE inter-program communication and having to launch the external DOS compression program, PKZIP. In addition, all slow operations, like save incident, writing to the capsule and partition clearing, have been written as separate program threads so they do not hold up any of the main operations. The result of all this is improved reliability and efficiency. M3 receives the combined NMEA data on COM1 and AIS data or data from an additional AMI external data combiner on COM2.




25

Pre-requisites (MEU) SVGA Monitor Keyboard and Mouse An AMI Fixed Capsule or an ACR Float Free. Default is ‘no capsule’. RADAR video or an external video source. On the CDP switch 4-5 to on ‘Service Mode’ (Auto Restart Disabled). On maximising the M3 program you will be able to access the ‘Config’ General

3.2.3 Video Setup Pre-requisites SVGA Monitor Keyboard and Mouse RADAR video or an external video source. On the CDP switch 4-5 to on ‘Service Mode’ (Auto Restart Disabled). Double click the VGA2USB icon and go to Capture then Options. Select the Adjustments tab. Make any adjustments necessary phase=2 (Sampling Phase 0 to 31) pll=6 (PLL Adjustment -50 to 50) hs=4 (Shift Horizontally -100 to 100) vs=8 (Shift Vertically -80 to 80) offset=10 (Set Offset 0 to 63) gain=127 (Set Gain 0 to 255) Any adjustments should be manually inserted into the ‘Epiphan Capture Parameters’ line. The video tab of the config dialogue now has an edit box for the parameter string and 3 buttons as follows: "Defaults" - Sets the string to "v2u.exe -a phase=0:pll=0:hs=0:vs=0:offset=0:gain=127" "Test Now" - Sends the current string to the Epiphan card. "Apply" - marks the current string for saving in the M3 config file.

(Note the Apply button is only active if the parameter string has changed) On starting M3 the string from the config file is used to configure the Epiphan card. Initially this will be the default settings as shown above. Make any changes carefully to ONLY the numbers in this parameter string. These could be those noted down from use of the v2ugui.exe program or you can change a setting and click the Test Now

button to watch the effect within M3. To do this select the video page and maximise M3 by double clicking on the M3 window's blue top bar before launching the config dialog. You will have to wait 15 - 30 seconds after clicking Test Now before the effect of each change is visible. When you are happy with the settings, click "Apply" and "OK" the config dialogue. This will write the current parameter string to the config file. The Apply button marks the current string for inclusion in the config file, so even if you "Cancel" the config dialogue the parameter string will still be written to the config file the next time the M3 program quits. Note: The command line parameter string MUST start "v2u.exe -a ". Do not change anything except the numbers when modifying it. There is a floating hint associated with the edit box which is an aide-memoir to the permitted ranges of the parameters. Hover the mouse pointer on the edit box to make it appear.

AMI Capsule Download Pre-requisites SVGA Monitor Keyboard and Mouse An AMI Fixed Capsule USB HDD or USB FLASH MEMORY STICK On the CDP set SW4-5 (Auto Restart Disable) to the ON position ‘Service Mode’. Open "Windows Explorer" and select "Share on ‘192.168.0.1’ (K:)

Highlight the required folders and copy them to the USB device. The folder names indicate the year, month, date and hour (YYMMDD-HH). In each folder there will be 60 x VDR files, 60 x SND files, 240 x RFG files and 1 shipdata.zip file totalling 361 files.




37

L3 HVR You can control where the data is recovered to. The Default is .\HVR\ i.e. the HVR directory in the install directory. If you connect a USB HDD you can now unload the whole HVR and easily remove, but be warned this will take 45 to 60 minutes per 500MB.

To avoid unloading the entire HVR to look at the most recent data there is now an option to step back a number of Mbytes from the current write pointer position and start recovery from there – with average file sizes 150Mb is about 1 Hr of data. This can be calculated by adding 4 x radar captures files (RFG), 1 x audio (SND) and 1 x data (VDR) which will give you the number of MB per minute. If you use this step back option enter a figure greater than e.g. 1800 and then in the Mbytes to recover box type in 75 which should download approximately 30 minutes worth of data, the start button sets the recovery process. Note - That using the default settings on starting the HVR Recovery program, (apart from changing the recovery destination path), pressing start and answering NO to “Do you want to reset the HVR first?” is how you recover the entire contents of the HVR.




38

Saved File Names The uncompressed file names within the zips are in the form DDDSSSSS i.e. Julian day number from 1st Jan and the number of seconds from midnight. Julian Day numbers run from 001 to 365 (or 366 on a leap year) and seconds from 00001 to 86400. E.g. RFG-15012006-16004500.zip = 01558245.bmp Files are named: TYPE – DATE – TIME For example SND-14052003-124600.ZIP for the audio. VDR-14052003-124600.ZIP for the data and AIS. RFG-14052003-124615.ZIP for the video. This means that the file was started at the time specified in the compressed zip file name. Note: that the windows ‘Date Modified’ stamp on the audio and data files is actually when the file and the zip file are closed so that, although the file names reflect the start time of the data, the actual order in the directory of the 1 min audio and data files with respect to the 4 RFG files, may be different.

6.3 Interface Calibrations KW932 Status Data The KW932 Status input card is used to interface any Status or Alarms signal which can be seen or heard on the bridge. Status data is entered into the system by up to 32 KW932 cards, each with 32 input channels. The serial data output for each channel is a digital 1 or 0. Information in the shipdata.txt file enables the playback software to convert these values into a plain English display. Each card has a unique block title enclosed in square brackets, and these take the form of [KW932A] through [KW932Z] for the first 26 and [KW9321] through [KW9326] for 27 to 32.

[KW932A] Block Title, one required per card. The cards are assigned an incremental letter, thus the next header will be [KW932B] then [KW932C] and so on up to [KW9326]. Code=A Each card must be set to a unique ID code using the DIP switches on the card itself. The range of these codes is A to Z and 1 to 6. Name=Code To help identify each card is achieved by adding a Name field into the card data block. Any text can be used which help identify the specific card inputs. Following the Block Title, ID and Name code there are eight groups of four digital inputs with the status descriptions. The content of each input is the text name identifying the source of the signal e.g. Bit21="FIRE ALARM" The status text fields determine what the digital 1 or 0 will represent on the Replay Program e.g. Status20="NORMAL" Status21="ALARM"

Note that the state of any group of 4 inputs can be either one of a pair e.g.

OPEN / CLOSED

NORMAL / FAIL

GOOD / BAD

NORMAL / ALARM

6.4 Interface Calibrations KW935 Analogue Data The KW935 analogue input card is used to interface any voltage and current sensors. Analogue data is entered into the system by up to 16 KW932 cards, each with 4 input channels. The serial data output for each channel is always in the range -100% to +100%. Information in the shipdata.txt file enables the playback software to convert these values to real world units, and generate alarm signals on over range values. Section header and Unit ID code. Then for each analogue input we have:- The Input Name The Real (or Plant) value of the input The voltage (or current) at the KW935 producing the plant output Each analogue input has its own section in the ShipData.txt file. This must be completed correctly for the data to be properly displayed. [KW935A] Section header, one required per card. The cards are assigned an incremental letter, thus the next header will be [KW935B] then KW935C and so on up to KW935H. Code=00 This is the ID code set on the card; each card must have a unique ID. Make sure this code is zero, 0A not letter “O” A. The range of these codes is 00 to 0F Following the header and code there are four sections, one for each of the card inputs. The contents of each section consist of a variable and a number, the variable is the same in each case the number is the channel number e.g. Name Field This is the Parameter Name that will be shown in the first column of the display. Units Field This is displayed after the calculated plant value in the second column. Typical values are RPM, Deg, %, Knts Pos Field / Neg Field These are used where positive and negative plant values have distinct meaning. Typical values PosX = Stb , Ahead, Right NegX = Port, Astern, Left Where negative values are not expected, or where a parameter can actually go negative, these fields are left empty.




49

MaxRaw / MinRaw This is the maximum and minimum values output by the card WHEN CONNECTED TO THE SENSOR. The KW935 has an output range of -100% to +100%. However when connected to the sensor this full range may not be utilized. The on card adjustment can be used to make sure the full range of the A to D is utilized without overflow. For example from 0 shaft RPM to maximum shaft RPM may be presented as a voltage. 0v input should give zero % output, and then the on card potentiometer is used to make the maximum shaft rpm out produce a card out put near to 100%, without actually reaching 100% e.g. 99% In example 1 the max value is set to 100 and the min value set to 0. In example 2 the max value is set to 95 and the min value to 5. These values will never be outside the -100% to +100% range. MaxVA / MinVA These are the maximum and minimum voltage or current measured at the 935 input for a full excursion of plant parameter. In example 1 it’s a perfect 0 to 10 V, in example 2 its 0.3 to 9.1 V. Example 2 is rudder angle and assumed to be linear thus rudder is amidships with an input of (9.1 – 0.3) /2 = 4.4V MaxPlant / MinPlant This is the maximum and minimum real world values represented by the MaxVA and MinVA inputs. In example 1 the RPM goes from 0 to 300. In example 2 we go from 35 degrees port rudder to 35 deg starboard rudder. AlarmH / AlarmHH These are two alarm settings. They are used to generate Alarm outputs ON PLAYBACK. THE DO NOT INDICATE AN ALARM WAS SOUNDED ON THE VESSEL. They have different meaning depending on the range of the plant parameter. If the plant parameter is always positive, for example ‘wind speed’ then in this case AlarmH is set to a warning level, and AlarmHH is set to a critical level. If the plant parameter is able to swing between positive and negative, for example ‘rudder angle’ then in this case AlarmH is for the positive value, and AlarmHH is for the negative value.




50

Important Notes 1. Inputs to the KW935 card are assumed to be linear over their range. 2. Where plant values have a fore / aft, ahead / astern starboard / port value the convention is that Aft, Astern, and Port are negative e.g. Rudder angle -35 to + 35 = 35 to port 35 to starboard Reversible Shaft RPM -50 to + 300 = 50 astern to 300 ahead Example 1 Name3="PORT SHAFT RPM" Units3=RPM Pos3= Neg3= MaxRaw3=100 MinRaw3=0 MaxVA3=10 MinVA3=0 MaxPlant3=300 MinPlant3=0 AlarmH3=280 AlarmHH3=290 This is a shaft RPM sensor where the shaft actual minimum speed is 0 and the maximum RPM is 300. This is represented at the input of the KW935 as a voltage between 0 and 10V. Example 2 Name4=”RUDDER ANGLE” Units4=Deg Pos4=Stb Neg4=Port MaxRaw4=95 MinRaw4=5 MaxVA4=9.1 MinVA4=0.3 MaxPlant4=35 MinPlant4=-35 AlarmH4=30 AlarmHH4=-30 This is a rudder angle indicator. The maximum starboard rudder angle is 35; the maximum port rudder angle is also 35 (this is entered as a negative value.) This is supposed to be a 0 to 10V signal, but when measured the values were 0.3 V for -35 deg and 9.1 V for +35 deg. The corresponding range of KW935 output was 5 to 95.
