| Viewer Info
FT NavVision® consists of many different viewers. With every
viewer or navigational appliance you buy, the basic software (consisting
of the Colour-palette, settings and logbook)is included. Besides
the basic software, FT NavVision consists of many other viewers
purposely created, but also of viewers which are more general and
which can act as a supplement the moment you think you have too
little data.
Possibilities in Viewers
There as so many possibilities within FT NavVision®, it's actually
not quite possible to make an accurate description.For example:
we assume that there'll be 11 engines, 8 generators, battery chargers,
inverters and such on board. Of course we realise that you won't
have this all on board. However: the software is also used for other,
industrial appliances. In any case, you can be sure that, given
the many possibilities, FT NavVision is, at any time, suited for
your vessel.
Navigation
Concerning the navigational viewers, FT NavVision® is avalaible
in three different solutions: a Basic, Extra and Professional package.
The difference lies in the extra possibilities, and extra possibilities
only. For example: the Basic version uses grid-charts for its navigation,
while the Professional version allows you to also use vector-charts.
Professional
The Professional version however has a lot more features; Integrated
are over 30 instruments. So everything that sends its data with
NMEA (purpose being navigation), can be displayed by the instruments.
Also the graphical histories are a part of this and, together with
the Basic software, Professional is an unique piece of software.
Combinations
FT NavVision® knows various combinations of viewers.
Navigation Professional for example is a clear combination of navigation,
navigation Extra, Basic, advanced analoque and advanced graphic.
This combination is a unique one, one of a kind in the market.
Purposeful viewers
As stated earlier, there are many viewers available, each designed
for a different task. In combination with a communication-protocol
every viewer can in itself be a stand-alone appliance. The advanced
analogue viewer together with NMEA is such a combination; the dual
engine-viewer combined with the J1939-protocol is another.
Engines
For starters we assume you have either one or two engines on board.
To this end there have been displays designed which fit immediately.
Furthermore, the use is only dependent of the link between engine
and computer. Meanwhile, FT NavVision® can choose between about
30 protocols; one of which is sure to be suited for your engine.
With older engines the link is established by an I/O system. This
enables any analog value to be converted to information which can
be read out by the computer.
Lloyds/Veritas
FT NavVision® has been certified by both Lloyds and Bureau Veritas.
Systems have succesfully been delivered and installed in yachting
and professional shipping. By using a matrix it has become easy
to install and configure FT NavVision® for Lloyds or Bureau
Veritas. The matrix configures the install conform the wishes of
forementioned agencies with just a few mouse-clicks. It should be
noted that the demands of both agencies also includes various hardware
at which an alarm- and monitoring systeem should suffice.
System information
The system for Veritas and/ or Lloyds needs to meet special requirements
as described in the" Code on Alarms and Indicators", 1995
from the International Maritime Organization. The Sales number of
the book is IA867E.
The module for FT NavVision® in question,
the Lloyd/Veritas-module, consists of software modules for two main-
(servers) and one client-computer.
If the system has as its main function “Engine-room
control” for example, the system can consist of two server
computers in the engine-control room and at least computer on the
bridge.
Principle of our system
The Lloyd/Veritas-module of FT NavVision® is developed for at
least two main (servers) and one client computer. More computers
can be added to the system; server- or client- licenses are available.
The software makes it possible to have as much servers and client
as needed.
Stations
All computers, fitted with the “Wago I/O head station”
with its in- and outputs, is called a station. Mainly you can find
them on the bridge, engine-room or engine-control room. All others
units, which can be an alarm-unit in a cabin or Mess room position,
with their buzzers and lights, are also called a station.
Installation
Through the access-rights of the software-installation, the installer
can easily make a set-up for every situation. Through a matrix,
the required alarms will be set as required by the organisations.
There are in fact no limits on the amount of stations required on
the boat. The matrix will appear and expand on the settings-screens
as soon as one or more one ore more stations is added in the software.
