PLECDIS systems
A Simrad PLECDIS
TM
system consists of two identical type approved E5024 or E5027 ECDIS
systems via the Ethernet ports on the E5000 processor. When type approved charts are used
in the system, a PLECDIS system allows the ship to operate without paper charts onboard.
A PLECDIS system can be set up to automatically synchronize chart database, mariner
objects, routes, permits and configuration between all connected E5000 processors. The
backup system ensures that a system failure does not result in a critical situation, and
provides safe navigation for the remaining part of the voyage in case of failure in the primary
ECDIS system.
Defining main and backup ECDIS systems
Main and back-up systems are recognized by the systems' name and IP address.
The main system has to be labeled ECDIS 1. This is the default settings for all E5024 and
E5027 systems when delivered from factory. The second system can have any number to
identify it as backup system.
You change the name of the system from the System Information dialog.
