Technical principles and functional characteristics

High precision positioning mechanism

DPS132 is based on dual frequency GPS signals (L1 and L2 frequency bands), combined with satellite based augmentation systems (SBAS, such as WAAS, EGNOS) and wide area differential correction technology, which can improve positioning accuracy to sub meter level. The system has a built-in lever arm compensation function, which can accurately calculate the positions of multiple measurement points on the ship by integrating the ship’s heading information, meeting the needs of multi-sensor fusion.

Redundancy Design and Reliability

The system adopts a two-level redundant control architecture with a fail safe mechanism, which can automatically switch to backup modules when critical components fail, ensuring the continuity of positioning function. Its hardware design meets the high reliability requirements of maritime environments, supports Windows NT4.0 operating system, and has long-term stable operation capability.

Multi mode operation capability

DPS mode: By processing real-time data from sensors such as GPS, gyro compass, sonar, etc., the thruster thrust is dynamically adjusted to counteract external forces such as wind, waves, and currents, enabling the ship to hover at a fixed point or navigate along a preset path.

Navigation mode: Used as a conventional navigation system, it provides basic position, speed, and heading information.

Data visualization and user interface

DPS132 can be integrated with KONGSBERG’s K-Master comprehensive bridge system, displaying ship status, sensor data, and environmental parameters through a unified graphical interface (such as touch screen), and supporting linkage control with ECDIS, radar, autopilot, and other equipment.

Application scenarios and industry value

Installation Overview

Warning

For installation in Hazardous Locations, review the Hazardous Locations

Installation section in this chapter before startup.  

The rugged design of the 1546 and 1547 Node Boxes allows it to be installed in most industrial environments.

The system is generally placed in a NEMA 4/4X/12 enclosure to protect against contaminants such as dust, and moisture.

Metal enclosures also help minimize the effects of electromagnetic radiation that nearby equipment can generate.

For Underwriters Laboratories (UL) compliance, the unit must be installed within a suitable fire enclosure.

Read the following sections carefully to be sure that you are complying with all the safety requirements.

Select a NEMA rated enclosure and place the unit to allow easy access to the system ports (see other sections in this chapter and Appendix A).

To assure a NEMA 4 seal choose an approved enclosure that has a 14-gauge(0.075 in/1.9 mm thick steel or 0.125 in/3.2 mm thick aluminum) front face.

Be sure to account for the unit’s depth when choosing the depth of the enclosure.

Create a mounting location in the enclosure (see System Mounting Dimensions).

Be sure to place the unit at a comfortable working level

Make sure the area around the mounting location is clean and free from metal burrs

Mount the unit position and properly secure the unit into the panel.

Tighten the fourteen #10 screws to 20 inch-pounds (2.597 Newton-meters /23Kgf cm).

Construct a power cable following the instructions in AC Power Cable in this chapter.

Attach one end of the power cord to the power receptacle on the unit and the other end to a properly grounded 115/230 VAC, 50-60 Hz outlet.

A ground path from the unit chassis to the enclosure chassis can be established using the 6-32 threaded ground point hole provided on the bottom panel of the unit

Turn on power to the system. The system will boot up the installed operating system.

Install the application software via a floppy drive, CD-ROM, or the network.

Additional aspects to take into account when mounting your 1546 and 1547 Node

​Boxes:

Consider locations of accessories such as AC power outlets and lighting (interior lighting and windows) for installation and maintenance convenience

Prevent condensation by installing a thermostat-controlled heater or air conditioner

To allow for maximum cooling, avoid obstructing the airflow 

Place any fans or blowers close to the heat generating devices.

If using a fan,make sure that outside air is not brought into the enclosure unless a fabric or other reliable filter is used. This filtration prevents conductive particles and other harmful contaminants from entering the enclosure.

Do not select a location near equipment that generates excessive electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interface (RFI). Examples of these types of equipment are: high power welding machines; induction heating equipment; and large motor starters.

Working principle

In the industrial production process, sensors and other equipment transmit the collected analog and digital signals to the Xycom 81625DA control board through corresponding input channels.

If control is required, the processor converts control instructions into corresponding electrical or digital signals through output channels, transmits them to the actuator, drives the actuator to act, and achieves control of industrial equipment.

At the same time, the control board interacts with other devices or the upper computer through communication interfaces for data exchange. On the one hand, the collected data and equipment operation status information are uploaded to the monitoring center or upper computer for real-time monitoring and data analysis by operators; On the other hand, it receives instructions and parameter settings from the upper computer or other devices, adjusts the working state and control strategy according to the instructions, and ensures the coordinated operation of the entire industrial automation system

System Power

Proper grounding is essential to all safe electrical installations. Applicable Fed eral/State/Provincial codes provide data such as the size and types of conductors,color codes, and connections necessary for safe grounding of electrical components.

The code specifies that a grounding path must be permanent (no solder), continuous,and able to safely conduct the ground-fault current in the system with minimal im pedance.

The following practices should be observed:

• Terminate protective Earth Ground to the enclosure chassis near the point of entry.

In a noisy environment, local ground rod may be necessary.

• All electrical racks or chassis and machine elements should be grounded to a central ground bus (a “star” ground bus is best).

• The enclosure should be properly grounded to the ground bus.

Make sure a good electrical connection is made at the point of contact with the enclosure.

Line Voltage Considerations

The 9485/9487 DC power supply is built to sustain line fluctuations of 20 – 25 VDC and still allow the system to function within its operating margin.

As long as the in coming voltage is adequate, the power supply provides all the logic voltages neces

sary to support the processor, memory, and I/O.

​Creating a Power Cable

You must create a power cable to supply power to the 9485/9487.

You need the fol lowing materials:

• Three-position power connector (supplied)

• 14 (1.6 mm), 16 (1.3 mm), or 18 (1.0 mm) gage solid or stranded copper wire within a braid/foil shielded cable, rated 80° C or better

Perform the following steps to create the cable:

1. Cut the wire cable to the desired length. It is good practice to make the protective earth ground wire ¼-inch (6.35 mm) to ½-inch (12.7 mm) longer than the +VIN and -VIN wires.

2. Strip .39-inch (10 mm) of insulation from the end of the cable. No bare wire should be exposed when the cable is connected to the workstation.

3. Tin the wire ends with solder if using stranded wire.

This keeps the wire from fraying.

4. Insert three wire ends of the power cable into the three holes of the block plug,as shown

The Ground (PE) +VIN and -VIN wires should be inserted into the corresponding holes (again, refer to Figure 2). Be sure that no bare wires are exposed.

5. Tighten the three screws above the wires to hold them firmly in place.
