W ork pro le setup
A work profi le is a set of steering parameters used by the AP70/AP80 system to improve
the autopilot steering under diff erent operational conditions. This gives high steering
performance very quickly when the operational conditions change, compared to waiting for
the autopilot adaption process.
The AP70/AP80 has a set of predefi ned work profi les. You can edit all predefi ned profi les, and
you can add new profi les. There can be up to 6 work profi les defi ned in the system. All profi les
except Normal can be deleted.
The work profi les are accessed by pressing the Work key. Active profi le is shown in the Mode
status panel.
The Normal pro le
This is the default profi le, and the initial parameters in the profi le are automatically assigned
when you select your vessel type.
During commissioning and seatrial the parameters for active profi le will be tuned for
optimized steering performance. The parameters will be saved as part of the profi le settings.
It is recommended to use the Normal profi le as a general profi le for your vessel. This should
be active during the commissioning of your vessel, and all parameter settings will then be
saved to this profi le.
Creating new pro les
New profi les can be defi ned for operational modes where the vessel’s steering parameters
deviate from the Normal profi le.
You can also defi ne a profi le for easy access to preferred parameters for various crew
members.
