5 Multiplexing Telemetry on Barge - I of IV Defining Mode On the Barge, NaviPac mode must be defined like this. Remember to Enable Multiplex Telemetry.

6 Multiplexing Telemetry on Barge - II of IV Three different telemetry systems possible, each related to a radio/frequency. Definition of com-port where the radio is interfaced and data is read from/routed to. Vessel ID defined as 30 (Barge). Remote navigation distributed to port Tug Management distributed to port (always). Asyncronous mode selected otherwise Polling master on the Barge and Polling Slave on the Tugs.

7 Multiplexing Telemetry on Barge - III of IV In Polling mode the Barge acts as a master in the communication. Tugs will only transmit within certain timeslots. Tugs are divided into polling groups with different polling frequencies. Main polling frequency. A polling sequence starts with this interval. In TMS scenario only tracking vessels are polled with this interval. In normal scenarios all vessels are polled with this frequency. Polling frequency for assigned vessels. Polling frequency for all other vessels. Defines the time given the modems to switch mode (Rx/Tx). List of tugs being polled. The list is defined as a comma separated list of object numbers. Press the Get button to read list from NaviPac setup.

8 Multiplexing Telemetry on Barge - IV of IV All data must be output on the same adress/port ex / Back to the Situation

9 Multiplexing Telemetry on Tugs - I of III Defining Mode Definition of NaviPac mode on the Tugs. Remember to Enable Multiplex Telemetry.

10 Multiplexing Telemetry on Tugs - II of III Vessel Id: 31 (Tug 1).

11 Multiplexing Telemetry on Tugs - III of III If the Barge is set to Polling Master mode, all slaves must be set to Polling Slave mode. They are only allowed to output data to the multiplexer with a certain time interval. Slot allocation for this is handled purely by the master. The slave can be configured to send an end message (acknowledge) when all buffered messages have been sent. This allows the master to close the timeslot before timeout and thereby to optimize the use of the bandwidth. This can be an alternative to defining the Maximum Reply Characters on the polling master. The optimal solution would be obtained by setting this value too high and let the slave send acknowledgements. Back to the Situation

12 Configuring Rigmove - I of VI Rigsetup on the Barge I

13 Configuring Rigmove - II of VI Rigsetup on the Barge II Insert the number of winches in this field (maximum is 16). Insert name and coordinates for each winch by double clicking each line. Insert ID, intended location and heading in these fields, and press Anchor Positions.

14 Configuring Rigmove - III of VI Rigsetup on the Barge III

15 Configuring Rigmove - IV of VI Rigsetup on the Barge IV Automatic calculation of anchor positions is performed by pressing Auto calculate.. and inserting values in the window. Manual entry of anchor positions by highlighting an anchor, and inserting position or range/bearing. Up to three Mid Line Buoys can be defined for each Anchor. Mid Line markers can be defined for each Anchor.

16 Configuring Rigmove - V of VI Rigsetup on the Barge V 1 - Save as Rigmove Setup file. 2 - Save as TUG Rigmove Setup file.

17 Configuring Rigmove - VI of VI Rigsetup on the Tugs When saving the TUG Rigmove Setup file, the warning above is given. The file NP_TUG.ini, which is generated from the RIGSetup option in the Barge NaviPac (previous slide), must be copied onto the Windows directory of each of the Tugs (C:\Windows). [RigMove] Barge_id=30 No winch points=8 WinchName01=W1 WinchOffset01=10.000, , WinchName02=W2 WinchOffset02=27.000, , WinchName03=W3 WinchOffset03=27.000, , WinchName04=W4 WinchOffset04=5.000, , WinchName05=W5 WinchOffset05= , , WinchName06=W6 WinchOffset06= , , WinchName07=W7 WinchOffset07= , , WinchName08=W8 WinchOffset08= , , Back to the Situation

18 Interface Configuration on the Barge I of X Position Output I To send the position of the Barge to the Tugs, the following must be defined: Address of multiplexer: , Port 5000.

19 Interface Configuration on the Barge II of X Position Output II To send the Barge position to the Tugs, the following output must be selected: The IP Address should be to send the data to the Multiplexer. ID of the barge position must be set to 30. Choose format NaviPac.

20 Interface Configuration on the Barge III of X Receive Tug Position I To receive the position from the Tug, the input here must be defined on the Barge: Unlimited ammount of Tugs.

21 Interface Configuration on the Barge IV of X Receive Tug Position II To receive the tug positions on the barge, the following Dynamic positioning system must be defined: The IP address: is the address of the Multiplexer. The TP number of Tug1 is 31. The TP number of Tug2 is consequently 32.

22 Interface Configuration on the Barge V of X Output Anchor Pattern To send the Anchor pattern to the Tugs, a Data to TUG boats output must be defined on the Barge: NaviPac format must be chosen.

23 Interface Configuration on the Barge VI of X Send Runlines To send Runlines to the Tugs, the following output must be selected:

24 Interface Configuration on the Barge VII of X Messages from the Tug I A Special input, From Remote NaviPac control, must be defined in order to enable the Barge NaviPac to be capable of using the in-coming tug commands. As the data most often is overlaid the general navigation data (from the Tug) the driver must be specified to I/O mode Off. Note the port number has to be

25 Interface Configuration on the Barge VIII of X Messages from the Tug II When in online mode, click on the TUG id text-box and the window to the right will open. Now insert the ID (0 - telling that this is the barge). NaviPac will remember this setting. Remember never to close the window, as it acts as interface between the NaviPac kernel (interpreter) and the TMS kernel (RigMon).

26 Interface Configuration on the Barge IX of X NaviPac on the Barge On the Barge the file C:\Eiva\NaviPac\Setup\objects.txt will now look as shown below right.

35 Interface Configuration on the Tugs VIII of XI Receiving Anchor Pattern II To receive the anchor pattern on the Tug, the Remote NaviPac window will be opened automatically when entering online mode. Click on the TUG id text-box and the window to the right will open. Now insert the ID (31 for Tug 1 etc). NaviPac will remember this setting.

36 Interface Configuration on the Tugs IX of XI Messages from Tug to Barge The operator on the tug may activate some anchor-related commands towards the barge. These are being activated from the Helmsman s Display of the Tug: PICKED UP - The anchor has been picked up from barge (state is tracking). DROPPED - The anchor has been dropped on the seabed (state is laid). FIX - Various events performed on the tug (will be shown on HD). The commands are send on top of the existing Data to external navigation system output, so no additional setup is required on the tug boat. The data output must be selected to NaviPac (+ Tug status) or Exp. NaviPac.
