Operator Manual Kongsberg SDP Follow Target Mode Rel 6.1

178278/A September 2004

The reader This operator manual is intended as a reference manual for the system operator. This manual is based on the assumption that the system operator is an experienced DP operator with a good understanding of basic DP principles and general DP operation. If this is not the case, then the operator should first attend the appropriate Kongsberg Maritime training courses.

Follow Target mode

1 FOLLOW TARGET MODE The Follow Target mode enables the vessel to automatically follow a moving target and keeps the vessel within a “position window” relative to the target. In Multi Target mode it is also possible to keep the vessel heading within a “heading window”. The moving target must be equipped with a mobile reference transponder or laser reflector in order for the SDP system to monitor its relative position. If, for example, the moving target is a Remotely Operated Vehicle, then the vessel must be equipped with a Hydroacoustic Position Reference (HPR) system in order for the SDP system to monitor its relative position. In addition to a mobile reference transponder on the target, an additional fixed position-reference system (such as DGPS) is required. Alternatively a fixed transponder (deployed on the seabed) can be used. You can define a circle of operation within which the target can move without causing the vessel to move. The vessel only moves when the target reaches the boundary of this circle. The radius of this circle (the “reaction radius”) can be up to 1000 m. The vessel moves when the target reaches the boundary of the circle

2 FOLLOW TARGET DIALOG BOX To display the Follow Target dialog box, click Follow Target on the AutoPos menu.

Mobile Targets

In the Available or Selected list, highlight the transponder you want to use and click the Add or Rem button to add or remove the transponder as required. Please note that only one transponder can be selected at a time.

Reaction Limits

Position Defines the reaction limit for position (reaction circle). The value entered (between 0 and 1000m) is the radius of the reaction circle for the mobile target.

Position Filter

Filter constant Enter the required filter constant (0-100%) to increase or decrease the degree of position filtering. A high percentage (50-100%) gives a high filtering which is recommended if there is noise or unstable measurements from the transponders. A low percentage (0-50%) gives a low filtering which should be used if measurements from the transponders are stable and reliable.

3 MULTI TARGETING The Follow Target mode with Multi Targeting enables a DP vessel to follow a moving structure or vessel equipped with two or more mobile transponders. The moving structure can be followed both with respect to position and heading. If your vessel is configured for Multi Targeting, the dialog box will look similar to the one shown here. To display the Follow Target dialog box, click Follow Target on the AutoPos menu.

Operation mode

Follow Position Choose this to make the vessel follow the moving structure with respect to position. The vessel will always have the same position relative to the moving structure, while maintaining the same absolute heading (setpoint) as shown in the following illustration.

Follow Heading Choose this to make the vessel follow the moving structure with respect to heading. The vessel will always have the same heading relative to the moving structure, while maintaining the same absolute position as shown in the following illustration.

(Cd3140)

Follow Position and Heading Choose this to make the vessel follow the moving structure with respect to both position and heading. The vessel will always have the same position and heading relative to the moving structure as shown in the following illustration.

Reaction Limits

Position Defines the reaction limit for position (reaction circle). The value entered (between 0 and 1000m) is the radius of the reaction circle for the mobile target. Heading Defines the vessel’s reaction sector for the heading relative to the moving structure.

Position Filter

Filter constant Enter the required filter constant (0-100%) to increase or decrease the degree of position filtering. A high percentage (50-100%) gives a high filtering which is recommended if there is noise or unstable measurements from the transponders. A low percentage (0-50%) gives a low filtering which should be used if measurements from the transponders are stable and reliable.

4 ENTERING FOLLOW TARGET MODE You can enter the Follow Target mode from either the Joystick or Auto Position mode. 1 Enable a fixed position-reference system as the reference origin (see Position Information in the Operator Reference Manual). 2 On the Sensors menu, click the Reference System Settings dialog. - Enable the transponder(s) on the target to be tracked. - Check the Mobile checkbox for the transponder if necessary (FANBEAM). 3 On the AutoPos menu, click the Follow Target dialog box: - In the Available list highlight the mobile transponder you wish to use, click Add to select it. Note

When using Multi-Targeting, select the Operation mode. - Set the required Reaction limits and Position Filter values. - Click the Apply button to use the values entered in the Follow Target dialog box. 4 Press the Follow Target mode button twice: - The Follow Target status lamp is lit. - The Surge, Sway and Yaw status lamps are lit. - The reaction radius is displayed on the Posplot view as a circle around the filtered position of the mobile transponder. See Figure 2 (for Multi Targeting see Figure 3).

As the mobile transponder moves, the vessel’s position setpoint remains unchanged. When the mobile transponder reaches the edge of the reaction radius circle, the position setpoint is updated automatically to restore the vessel to the same position relative to the target, and the reaction radius circle is redrawn around the new position of the mobile transponder.

When the Follow Heading operational mode is selected in Multi Targeting mode, a Target Deviation presentation is given in the General view, see Figure 4. The lines indicate a limit where a heading change will be initiated.

5 HEADING CONTROL All of the standard methods for heading control are available as described in Changing the heading setpoint in the SDP (OS) Operator Reference Manual . In the Follow Target mode, choosing System Selected heading from the Change Heading dialog box will maintain the vessel at the heading that requires the minimum power in the current environmental conditions. System Selected Heading is not available in Multi Targeting mode when Follow Heading or Follow Position and Heading is selected.
