Function Description
FU-remote External FU/DP control
by command transfer
When input contact is closed, a command transfer
dialogue is started (refer Command transfer
description in the AP70/AP80 Operator Manual).
When accepted, the output contact will close and
use the installed current or voltage input to the
RUD UI plug of SD80/AD80 board for follow up
rudder control. Output will open if control is taken
from another unit again.

P-log &
Auto
Pulse log input, auto
mode output
If a pulse log of 200 p/NM to the input, it will show
up as a speed source on the CAN network.
The output will be a closed contact whenever
the autopilot is in AUTO, NoDrift or NAV/TRACK
mode. The signal can be used for reducing oil flow
to rudder, watch alarm activate etc.
Pendulum
& WA
If input signal is closed, steering and monitor
compass will be offset by 180°.
Output contact will close for 0.5 sec when active
control unit is operated. Can be used for watch
alarm systems that require information about
operation of equipment.
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
Drive test/calibration
When the drives are configured and calibrated, the autopilot need to know drive output level
for standstill, polarity for port/stbd movement, the speed/signal- level relationship and max
signal levels allowed. This is learned during the drive test or drive calibration.
