Setting up the AP80 for track steering

Conguring the ECDIS

The ECDIS system must be set up with source type set to Autopilot, and the system must be

set up to listen for TNT messages.

Conﬁgure the ECDIS system to use the same primary sources as used by the AP80 system

(Log, HDG, SOG, COG and POS).

Refer to the software/system conﬁguration in the ECDIS manuals.

Conguring the AP80

The SI80 board uses the serial RS422 (IEC 61162 -1/2) standard. Ensure that the line is

conﬁgured to use the same baud rate as the ECDIS system.

Rudder feedback/tunnel thruster feedback calibration

If a rudder or thruster feedback is available, this must be calibrated. This is required for the

autopilot to know signal for mid-position, port/starboard side and rudder movement range.

¼ Note: The graphics below shows the dialog when the rudder is controlled by an SD80. The

conﬁguration dialog varies with drive device and drive type.

1. Select feedback calibration option in the device conﬁguration dialog

2. Follow the guided steps through the calibration process

3. Save the settings when completed
