TCS Track Control Autopilot
The TCS Track Autopilot can work in synergy with the ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System)to realize the automatic track-keeping function of the ship.This system enables route planning on the ECDIS platform and executes the track control function in accordance with the selected planned route.Meanwhile,various real-time control parame- ters of the autopilot can also be displayed on the ECDIS interface,making it convenient for the navigation officer to operate and observe.

▌Technical Features




1.Modular design

Adopting CAN bus communication method,dua channel redundancy design,high reliability.


2.Multi mode intelligent control

Integrating multiple control modes to meet the operational needs of all scenarios:

·Tcs Track Control Mode: Through linkage with electron- ic chart ECDIS,it accurately plans and tracks preset routes, with errors controlled within meters,suitable for ocean  transportation and scientific research operations.

·Heading Maintenance Mode:Lock the target heading,automatically filter wind pressure differences and water flow interference, reduce heading fluctuations, lower crew workload,and reduce rudder movements.

·Follow Up Control Mode:Real time response to rudder angle commands,automatic control of servo action,  combining the flexibility of manual control with the precision of automatic rudder ange control.

·Manual Control Mode:Provide emergency operation mode,support direct control of servo with handle/button,ensuring navigation safety  during system maintenance or special scenarios.

·DP Control Mode:It can receive control signals from the DP system to complete the control of the steering gear.

·Full Turn Control:The rudder propeller turn system can be controlled by outputting±10V or 4-20mA rudder command signals to achieve automatic control of the ship's heading.

·Remote Control Mode:Support remote control of the bridge, engine room,or wireless remote terminal, adapting to the intelligent management needs of modern ships.


3.Adopting artificial intelligence control algorithms,the system has a learning function,making the system control more precise and stable.Under level Ill sea conditions,the trajectory control accuracy can reach 0.1 sea mile.


4.Smooth and stable control can not only reduce the number of rudder movements,but also lower the consumption of ship fuel.


5.Minimalist operating interface:

Adopting a dual mode design of touch screen and physical buttons,the menu logic conform to maritime operation habits,and beginners can quickly master it,supporting bilingual switching between Chinese and English,suitable for international crew teams.


6.Fault self diagnosis system:

Equipped with an intelligent monitoring module,it can provide real-time warnings of sensor abnormalities,power failures,functional module failures,and other issues,and generate maintenance guidelines to reduce downtime and improve maintenance efficiency.
