Dynamic Positioning Software
Bridge Mate Dynamic Positioning. This software is included with all new dynamic positioning systems. Marine Technologies, LLC.
Icon DP is a range of dynamic positioning (DP) systems from Rolls-Royce. The systems comply with the IMO requirements to DP Class 1, 2 and 3. All positioning systems use the Rolls-Royce common control platform architecture and are of modular design. Icon DP systems comprise one or several operator stations, control cabinet, network and power supplies.
The cabinet contains computers and input/ output (I/O) modules for interfacing to sensors, position reference systems, thrusters, rudders, power system and other DP related equipment. Simplicity and proximity are unique design principles incorporated in the Icon system design. The goal is to simplify DP operations and to bring the system physically closer to the operator, thus increasing both operator performance and overall operational safety. Triple redundant solutions are standard for Icon DP2 and DP3 systems.
The two-out-of-three voting principle ensures enhanced safety and reliability compared to basic Class rules. Dynamic positioning is the capability a vessel has to automatically maintain its position or heading by using its propellers, rudders and thrusters.
This is a major contributor to safe and accurate operations. Virtually any vessel with thrust equipment can be upgraded to a DP specification range from POSCON Joystick to ICON DP2. Effective pre-engineering by Rolls-Royce and planning of the installation will ensure minimum down time. The Rolls-Royce positioning product family includes:. Poscon Independent Joystick.
Icon DP1. Icon DP2. Icon DP3. Improved positioning capability – select from Rolls-Royce range of positioning products to give you the level of positioning you need. Greater earning potential – New operating requirements demand better systems, having the latest DP system installed broadens the range of operations the vessel can undertake. Enhanced safety – Simplicity and proximity are unique design principles. And the goal is to simplify DP operations and increase both operator performance and overall operational safety.
Cost effective – A DP upgrade can transform vessel capabilities and will ensure it meets the latest regulations for a modest investment. A much more cost-effective alternative to new build. Easy interface - Our intuitive graphical user interfaces allow first time users to navigate with ease.
Try this out at your nearest Rolls-Royce training centre. Bridge integration is possible thanks to the compact design of the main components.
Dynamic positioning systems use space effective operational devices and touch screen displays. The space saving system design provides flexibility in arranging the DP system into new or existing consoles. All positioning systems use common controls architecture and are of modular design, providing a uniform, well-presented environment on the bridge for improved safety. Our common architecture and design philosophy provides proven standard modules as building blocks to configure a customised solution to meet the specific operational requirements of each vessel. The graphical user interface (GUI) displays the DP scene in 3D with the relevant information on vessel position/movement and thruster status/operation.
Information on power bus, sensors, reference systems and other relevant information can be actuated via the touch screen interface. Multifunctional displays allow the operator to choose which information is to be collected and presented together. Important and critical information displayed at all times for simple and safe operation. Control levers ergonomically placed to allow operator to work sitting or standing, with all information clearly displayed on touch screens. The Operator’s Chair incorporates the best in ergonomic design – controls and interactive screens may be located in chair armrests, chairs can be supplied as part of a bridge system or as an individual product. This type of solution is ideal for operator training where simulations of real life scenarios occurring at sea expose crew to dangerous situations in a controlled environment.
They can be configured for systems or stand-alone operations like subsea, bridge, crane or winch operations. DP simulator Practice manoeuvring around an oil platform in all types of sea conditions. Learn from realistic situations using operator stations arranged as on the vessel.
