various steering control stations on the vessel. Each SCP has an audio
output that can be turned on or off through the use of the Audible Alarm
drop down list. The audio output sounds to indicate certain functions of
the SCP and when a failure condition exists within the system. Each SCP
also has an output used to illuminate a FAULT indicator. This indicator
can enabled and disabled through the use of the Fault Indicator drop down
list. Each SCP is provided with one FFU Digital command input and two
FFU Analog command inputs. The polarity of each of these inputs can be
chosen using the Digital Input Polarity, Analog Input 1 Polarity and Analog
Input 2 Polarity drop down lists. The remaining drop down lists located on
the right hand side of the window are used to assign individual station
modes and functions to certain switch inputs and indicator outputs (see
Drawing 5.8
- MCP Terminal Block Configuration). If a certain mode or
function is not used, the OFF setting should be chosen from the drop
down list.
Select the appropriate setting from the drop down lists for each SCP.
When finished, click the SET button before clicking the CLOSE button.
4.1.2 System Calibration
Calibration is done with a functioning Digital Steering Control system
loaded with the appropriate configuration and an operating hydraulic
steering gear. DSCsetup communicates with the DSC through a standard
male-female 9-pin RS-232 serial cable connected to the D-Sub port
located just to the right of the DSC display window.
To begin on-line calibration, turn on the DSC and
the computer. Start the DSCsetup application,
and from the File menu select OPEN DSC.
Identify which communication
port the RS-232 cable is
connected to.
