______________________________________________________________


4.4 Engine control

4.4.1 Taking engine control

We refer here to the actions needed to "Take" engine control for the

Shipcontroller system. The exact "Take" procedure depends on the engine

interface adapter fitted and the actual electronic control system that the boat

has.

Please refer to your system manual to find indications on how to manage the

"Take" procedure for your Shipcontroller installation.

The SCR750 series remote control unit allows to:

Send a radio command from the remote unit to the Shipcontroller base

system to request engine control.

Display the "Take status" for the port and starboard engines to the user.

Depending on the boat's engine interface type and system configuration, the

engine control request procedure may be one of the following:

a) Manual control transfer from the remote unit: The user must navigate to the

ENGINES CTRL screen (See 4.2.2) and send a control request command to the

boat, by pushing the (+) button.

b) Manual control transfer from the ECU system: The user must use the ECU

switches or ECU control panel buttons in the boat to give engine control to the

Shipcontroller system.

c) Automatic control transfer: The Shipcontroller system is linked to the ECU

system, and it is capable of detecting when it can take the engine control, or

when it must inhibit the remote engine control.

d) Implicit control transfer: The Shipcontroller engine interface is linked to a

single control head, interoperating with its levers. The remote will have engine

control only when that control head has control.

30

______________________________________________________________


4.4.2 Engine control signaling

If the Shipcontroller and ECU configurations allow provide

the control transfer status, the remote unit will indicate the

"Take" status in the following way:

a) When the remote has engine control for both the port and

starboard engines:

The green led is permanently on. (If there is radio

coverage and none of the buttons are pressed).

The NAV DATA screen changes its title to DOCKING.

The ENG CRTL screen shows "ON" for both engines.

b) When there is no engine control for any of the engines (but the radio

coverage is OK):

The green led will be flashing at a 1sec. rate (if there is radio coverage and

none of the buttons are pressed).

The DOCKING screen is replaced by the NAV DATA screen.

The ENG CRTL screen shows "OFF" for one or both engines.

If the boat system does not support the "Take" status signaling, the

Shipcontroller system will assume that it has engine control permanently.

4.4.3 Engine control priorities.

There are two types of engine controls in the remote unit front panel:

Membrane keyboard pushbuttons:

o Port ahead-fast and starboard ahead-fast.

o Port astern-fast and starboard astern-fast.

Toggle levers:

o Port slow ahead/astern lever.

o Starboard ahead/astern lever.

31

______________________________________________________________


In the event that multiple engine controls are operated simultaneously for a

given engine, the system applies the following rules of precedence, in order:

The controls for each engine (Port and Starboard) are independent, and can

be activated simultaneously without any restrictions.

Ahead has priority over astern. For example, if the starboard engine fast

ahead and fast backward buttons are activated simultaneously, ahead

prevails.

Fast speed takes precedence over slow speed. If you operate, for example,

astern and fast astern buttons for the port engine, fast astern prevails.

32

______________________________________________________________


4.5 Secondary systems control

4.5.1 Thrusters control

Press the Bow/Stern switch levers toward the green arrows (starboard) or the

red arrows (port), in order to achieve the corresponding thruster effect. These

controls can be used simultaneously without any limitations.

Usually, the Shipcontroller Bow and Stern Thruster controls are connected in

parallel with the same controls of the boat, so that both can be active, but should

not be used simultaneously.

You may operate the Thruster controls of the boat while Shipcontroller is on,

just do not operate the Shipcontroller remote unit thruster controls while doing

it.

If the Thrusters inhibition feature is enabled, the thruster controls in the remote

will emit a vibration when the boat speed is greater than the limit speed.

4.5.2 Windlass control

The system can be equipped with dual windlass control capability.

The main windlass is always selected after powering on the remote. If you want

to use the secondary windlass you must select it using the WINDLASS menu

(See 4.2.4).

The chain counter function is associated to the main windlass.

Press the UP/DOWN windlass buttons on the remote front panel for raising or

lowering the anchor, respectively.

If both buttons are pressed simultaneously, the UP button has priority.

You may operate the Windlass controls of the boat while Shipcontroller is on,

just do not operate the Shipcontroller remote unit windlass controls while

doing it.
