Sensors
restore the complete ECDIS system (Operating system, ECDIS application, basic charts,
etc.) that has the initial configuration.
SENSORS
For a complete description of the interface between Sensors and ECDIS900 see
the
chapter.
ETHERNET: INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL DATA FLOW
Ethernet and TCP/IP protocol are the core of the system for the intercommunication between
software modules and also for data exchange between the ECDIS Planning (Back-up) and
Monitoring stations.
INTERCOMMUNICATION
LAN communication is basic the technology used in the system for communication between
ECDIS900 applications. For example, the ECDIS application launches the application called
Sensor Monitor responsible for I/O of the system. This application runs in parallel with ECDIS
and manages serial and TCP/IP input/output. ECDIS and Sensor Monitor use TCP/IP protocol
for data and commands exchanging.
EXTERNAL DATA EXCHANGE
Monitoring and Planning stations are on the same LAN and communicated using TCP/IP
protocol:
