Prole settings
Auto steering
Turn settings
Used for selecting how you want to control the vessel’s turn:
either by defining the Rate of Turn (Rate) or the radius.
• Rate range: 5°/minute - 720°/minute
• Radius range: 10 m - 10 NM
- The minimum radius can however never be less than the
value corresponding to a Rate of Turn = 720°/minute at the
set Cruising speed
• Default: Rate
• Initial value: Determined during sea trial
Economy
This allows for higher course deviation before responding, compared to default precision auto
steering.
• Range: ON/OFF
• Default: OFF
Wave lter
Automatically reduces the rudder activity and sensitivity of the autopilot in rough weather.
• Range: ON/OFF
• Default: OFF
Adaption
This is a software feature that continues to adjust parameters that are essential for the steering
performance, e.g. speed, trim, draught and tide effects.
When activated these parameters are optimized during the voyage in response to the ship’s
behavior. The settings are stored in the active work profile.
• Range: ON/OFF
• Default: OFF
Rudder gain
This is the ratio between the heading error and the commanded angle.
• Range: 0.05 - 4.00
• Default: Depends on the vessel length
• Initial value: Determined during sea trial
Counter rudder
This parameter counteracts the effect of the vessel turn rate and inertia.
• Range: 0.05 - 8.00
• Default: Depends on the vessel length
• Initial value: Determined during sea trial
Auto trim
