Introduction The NM-2C is an interface intended for use between ship’s GPS or heading or track control system and the BNWAS according to the Paragraph 4.1.1.1 of Res. MSC. 128 (75) stating: 4.1.1.1 The BNWAS should incorporate the following operational modes: Automatic (Automatically brought into operation whenever the ship's heading or track control system (i.e. auto steering mode of steering control stand (Auto pilot)) is activated and inhibited when this system is not activ ated).
Operation The NM-2C can input NMEA-0183 data from the GPS ($GPVTG or $GPRMC) or the ship’s heading or track control system ($--HTD or $--HTC from the Auto Pilot) and supply to the BNWAS the automatic ON/OFF commands via a dry contact closure output interface. The NM-2C has three modes of operation that are user selectable via the jumpers J1 and J2 (see composite layout image and Jumper configuration settings table below):
•
GPS CONTROL MODE
In this mode the NM-2C is connected to the GPS and the automatic ON command is initiated for vessel speeds equal or greater than 3 knots and the OFF command for speeds less than 3 knots.
•
TRACK CONTROL MODE
In this mode the NM-2C is connected to the Autopilot and the automatic ON command is initiated when the selected steering mode is one of the S (Standalone), H (Heading control), T (Track Control) or R (Rudder control) and the OFF command when the M (Manual steering) is selected (see Appendix A: NMEA $xxHTD and $xxHTC sentences specification).
•
TEST/OVERIDE MODE
In this mode the relay output interface is tested for normal operation along with the BNWAS correct connection/functionality (for testing/service purposes only)
Input Port (listener) The NM-2C has one NMEA-0183 input port that can be connected to the GPS or heading/track control system. The input port is optoisolated as specified in NMEA-0183 protocol, thus data(-) pole should never been connected to NM-2C ground. If the instrument’s talker port is single ended, connect that terminal to the In(+) input and tide the IN(-) to instrument’s ground. If a RS-232 signal level is connected the ground pole (GND) should be connected to In(+) and the data pole (TXD) to In(-) respectively. The input port can acquire NMEA-0183 sentences carried in TTL, RS-232 and RS-485/422 signal levels.

Output Port (contact closure interface) The output port of the NM-2C is a dry contact closure interface. The user can select between the Normally Closed or Normally Open contact, in order to achieve compatibility with the BNWAS system.

Power Supply The ΧΧΧ can be powered within the range of 10-32 Volt DC. The nominal voltage of 24 Volt DC is advised for powering the device in normal operation. Power input port features protection for incorrect polarity connection of the supplying voltage and a PTC resettable Fuse in case of overload.

FUNCTIONALITY DESCRIPTION Ship’s speed from GPS is less than 3 Knots (LD2=OFF). The LED LD1 indicates correct data input connection to the NM-2C ($GPVTG or $GPRMC is received). Ship’s speed from GPS is equal or more than 3 Knots (LD2=ON). The LED LD1 indicates correct data input connection to the NM-2C ($GPVTG or $GPRMC is received). No or incorrect data (none of the $GPVTG or $GPRMC is received) or incorrect data signal polarity. Selected steering mode is M (Manual steering) (LD2=OFF). The LED LD1 indicates correct data input connection to the NM-2C ($--HTC or $--HTD is received). Selected steering mode is one of the S (Standalone), H (Heading control), T (Track Control) or R (Rudder control) (LD2=ON). The LED LD1 indicates correct data input connection to the NM-2C ($--HTC or $--HTD is received). No or incorrect data (none of the $--HTC or $--HTD is received) or incorrect data signal polarity. Not Applicable The NM-2C is in test mode. (for service purposes only)

NOTE 1: If range to destination exceeds 999,9 nautical miles, display 999,9. NOTE 2: If cross track error exceeds 9,99 nautical miles, display 9,99. NOTE 3: Positioning system Mode indicator: A = Autonomous mode D = Differential mode E = Estimated (dead reckoning) mode M = Manual input mode S = Simulator mode N = Data not valid NOTE 4: The positioning system Mode indicator field supplements the Status field (field No. 1) which shall be set to V = invalid for all values of Mode indicator except for A = Autonomous and D = Differential. The positioning system Mode indicator and Status fields shall not be null field.
*HTC – Heading/Track control command *HTD – Heading /Track control data IMO – MSC 64(67) Annex 3. Commands to, and data from, heading control systems. Provides input to (HTC) a heading controller to set values, modes and references; or provides output from (HTD) a heading controller with information about values, modes and references in use.
NOTE 1: Override provides direct control of the steering gear. In the context of this sentence override means a tempor ary interruption of the selected steering mode. In this period steering is performed by special devices. As long as field "Override" is set to "A", both fields "Selected steering mode" and " Turn mode" shall be ignored by the heading/track controller and its computing parts shall operate as if manual steering was selected.

NOTE 2: All steering modes represent steering as selected by a steering selector switch or by a preceding HTC sentence. Priority levels of these inputs and usage/acceptance of related fields are to be defined and documented by the manufacturer. Selected steering modes may be: M = Manual steering. The main steering system is in use. S = Stand-alone (heading control). The system works as a stand-alone heading controller. Field ”Commanded heading to steer” is not accepted as an input. H = Heading control. Input of commanded heading to steer is from an external device and the system works as a remotely controlled heading controller. Field "Commanded heading to steer" is accepted as an input. T = Track control. The system works as a track controller by correcting a course received in field “Commanded track”. Corrections are made based on additionally received track errors (e.g. from sentence XTE, APB, ...). R = Rudder control. Input of commanded rudder angle and direction from an external device. The system accepts values given in fields “Commanded rudder angle” and “Commanded rudder direction” and controls the steering by the same electronic means as used in modes S, H or T. NOTE 3: Turn mode defines how the ship changes heading when in steering modes S, H or T according to the selected turn mode values given in fields “Commanded radius of turn” or “Commanded rate of turn”. With turn mode set to “N”, turns are not controlled but depend upon the ship’s maneuverability and applied rudder angles only. NOTE 4: Commanded track represents the course line (leg) between two waypoints. It may be altered dynamically in a track-controlled turn along a pre-planned radius. NOTE 5: Off-track status can be generated if the selected steering mode is “T”. NOTE 6: Data in these fields shall be related to the heading reference in use.
