Autopilot System · Autopilot & Bridge Systems
The joystick system provides a convenient “one handle control” for manoeuvring the ship. Using the joystick the operator can steer, control the thrust, change heading, move sideways, and rotate, by means of a single control lever. For extra redundancy, the following hardwired control panels are available Added functionality (mode) to existing waterjet joystick for automatic position keeping. Auto positioning allows the vessel to stay within a certain position, utilising the propulsion at hand, based on signals from GPS, wind sensor and Gyro. The system will compensate for wind and currents working to maintain position and heading. The set course will follow the direction of the wind keeping head to wind. The system responsiveness will decrease to save fuel and reduce load on propulsion units. Following alarms are available, depending on waterjet setup, from waterjet to an alarm system or a separate optional alarm panel: Get expert help anytime, anywhere—our global support team is available 24/7 to assist you.

| Functional test of joystick and control transfer | every 12 months or per class annual survey |
|---|---|
| Software/firmware revision check | at each planned maintenance visit |
| UPS/backup battery check | every 6-12 months |
| Connector and cable inspection at exposed stations | every 12 months |
Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.
Class typically verifies functional testing of joystick maneuvering, correct control transfer between stations, alarm function on loss of signal, and availability of an independent backup means of control as part of steering gear/propulsion control system surveys. This is a proprietary bus-based system - repairs and spares should stay within the Kongsberg dealer network to preserve system integrity.
