DP System · Automation & Control
The K-Pos DP-11/12 dynamic positioning system consists of a DP controller unit and a dedicated operator station. Both systems satisfy IMO DP Class 1. The controller unit and the operator station communicate via a dual high-speed data network. The DP-11 provides a direct interface to the propellers, thrusters and rudders, and includes the necessary interfaces to power plants, position-reference systems and sensors. The DP-12 is designed for integration with K-Chief (marine automation system) and K-Thrust (thruster control system) via a dual Ethernet LAN. Integrating all the functions for monitoring and control of a vessel provides a real benefit both technically and economically. Functions are integrated to reduce the overall need for hardware and software functions and to reduce interfacing requirements. This leads to less demand for special software, cabling and testing. Furthermore, integrated systems offer a far greater degree of redundancy, and therefore increased system availability and operational performance. The K-Pos DP-11 and 12 dynamic positioning - DP system meet the Equipment Class notation for Class 1 DP systems. The flexible nature of K-Pos systems allow them to be upgraded to Equipment Class 2 if/when required. The operator interface is designed to allow efficient and safe operation of the dynamic positioning system by assisting the operator in making optimum operational decisions.
