The Mega-Guard Dynamic Positioning
System (DP) automatically controls a
vessel’s heading and position by
activating thrusters based upon data
as received from position reference
systems, gyrocompasses, wind sensors
and motion reference units.
The Auto Track mode allows the
ship to move along a pre-defined track
at low speed as defined by the operator.
The Mega-Guard Joystick Control
System (JC) is a basic version of the
Mega-Guard DP system and allows
the operator to automatically control the
heading and manually position the
vessel based upon data as received
from gyrocompasses and wind sensors.
The Mega-Guard DP and JC system
are based upon the field-proven
products of the Mega-Guard product
line and the experience as gained
on the design and delivery of joystick
control systems as supplied on
many different kind of vessels
since 1980 (see reference list).
The Mega-Guard DP and JC system are
suited for e.g. supply vessels, tug boats,
dredgers, cable and pipe laying vessels,
FPSO's, heavy lift vessels and
mega-yachts in full accordance with the
applicable classification and IMO rules
(DP1, DP2 and DP3).
Features
●
Accurate positioning with better then 0.5 meter accuracy in combination with DGPS and MRU (inclinometer).
Higher position accuracies can be achieved with e.g. a laserbeam positioning system
●
Sea trial tuning and testing can be limited to three days maximum. Parameter tuning is already done before shipment out of
our factory by modelling of the ship and testing with a ship simulator.
●
Extremely reliable hardware by using only solid state components and 24VDC power supply for all components within
the DP system. All Mega-Guard DP hardware and software is designed and manufactured by Praxis Automation Technology
and is applied in other Mega-Guard products as well (AMCS, VCMS, PMS, PCS, INS, etc).
●
Various language options are available including Chinese, Japanese and others.
●
Supports third party and own (Mega-Guard brand) position reference systems: Mega-Guard DGPS/Glonass with NTRIP (DGN),
Hydroacoustic Position Reference (HPR) and Taut wire Position Reference (TPR).
