F200-40 Simplified diagram
The F200-40 display is operated via clock and data signals from the
control unit and will display actual course or set course, dependent
of operational mode.
When turning the course knob, IC5-A and B will shape the pulses
generated by the two opto-couplers that are switched ON/OFF via
the split-rotor, and thus provide pulses as course 1 and course 2.
The operational mode of the control unit can be selected by the push
button M (Mode). This button provides both PORT and STBD signals
simultaneously by the two diodes D1 and D2. The sequence of mode
change is described under the OPERATION section.
When pushing the P and S buttons, the PORT and STBD signals will
switch to low (GND) and provide course change or NFU-steering
depending on the operational mode.
