The RS422 outputs are equipped with carrier detection functionality and on a relay on each output. This allows redundant setups where two different I/O modules located in different I/O racks can be linked to the same RS422 subscriber. With this function, the I/O modules located in the slave Netans detects that the master Netans is driving the RS422 link, hence the slave Netans cannot use it.

Each module contains 12 double DIP switches, theirs locations are given on Figure 5 and their definitions in Table 3.

The default setting is position OFF for all DIP switches.

3 Description of the Operation

3.1 Functional Description

Themain functionalities of Netans N1 are:

● Data acquisition: Netans N1 acquires through its I/O module racks the data from the navigation sensors.

● Processing: Netans N1 processes the acquired data from the navigation sensors

● Data generation: Netans N1 formats output messages according to external system requirements.

3.1.1 DATA ACQUISITION AND PROCESSING

Data acquistion

The CPU board in Netans N1 is in charge of driving the I/O modules and the Ethernet interfaces. According to its internal configuration, the software located on this CPU board performs the incoming data (from sensors in the scope of supply of the Integrated Navigation System) protocol handling and outputs the data with the required protocol.

Data processing

The software periodically samples the data and breaks down the acquired messages into individual data (i.e., latitude, longitude, depth etc.). These data are made available to the processing blocks. A processing block takes a number of data inputs and generates outputs using its internal algorithm. The input and output of the processing blocks are thus data which can take the following form:

● Navigation data (heading, roll, pitch, latitude etc.)

● Parameters used by the operator either for visualization (consolidated status information, differences between parameters) either for data input (thresholds, manual navigation data inputs etc.)

● Internal parameters used by Netans N1 Thus processing blocks have the ability to take any navigation data and user defined parameters as inputs and generate new navigation parameters, custom user required information and alarms. All processing blocks ensure that data are read and written in an atomic manner in the internal data memory. This prevent any other processing block from reading a set of parameters from two different update cycles.

Data generation

A data generation block takes a number of data as its inputs either after one or multiple processing blocks or after a data acquisition block. Then based on the definition of the output message for the subscriber, unit conversion and sign convention adaptations are carried out and the output message is formatted. The message is consequently sent out on the configured output channel.

24 NIX-D03066A - November 2020

3.1.2 DATA INTERFACES

3.1.2.1 Types of Interfaces

Netans N1 can handle several types of interfaces:

● Serial through serial modules

● Ethernet through Ethernet switch

Serial module The purpose of the serial module is the handling of different serial signals. The serial module is able to handle 4 serial input and output communication channels. Each channel can be configured in software as RS422/RS232 signal. Each input/output channel can be read/written from an Ethernet protocol and each input channel can be directly connected to one of the output channels. Each serial module has a unique IP address which can depend on the rack and slot address.

The RS422 input is a communication bus which can be used to communicate between the modules rack. Rack number and module position is used for automatic IP address numbering.

IP address can also be set by software.

Ethernet interface

The Ethernet switch provide Ethernet connectivity to external subscribers. Indeed, after processing the formatting, the messages are output on Ethernet channels. Knowledge of these IP addresses is not necessary for the user because they aremanaged by the processor.

Furthermore, in redundant mode, the Netans cabinets are connected through redundant Ethernet links. These redundant links enable the high availability mechanism to continuously monitor the status of both Netans cabinets and to synchronize data bases (containing persistent data items and alarms). These links also enable a subscriber to receive the Ethernet messages even if it is connected on the slave Netans.

3.1.2.2 Reception/Transmission

All data received by Netans N1 from the external navigation sensors are time stamped.

For data received via an I / O module, the time stamp is the time of reception of the first bit of the I / Omodule.

For data received via Ethernet, the time stamp is the time of reception of the first bit from the

CPU.

3.1.2.3 External Systems

Netans N1 is able to transmit and receive data using the IEC 61162-1 and 61162-2 series sentences.

NIX-D03066A - November 2020 25

3.2 Alerts and Alert Management

3.2.1 ALERT MANAGEMENT

The following functions are provided by the alert management subsystem:

● Classification of alerts

● Logging of alerts in a database

● Management of acknowledgement by authorized users

The alerts are classified in the following categories:

● Alarms: Indicate situations or conditions requiring immediate attention, decision and if necessary action by the bridge team.

● Warnings : Indicate changed situations or conditions and shall be presented for precautionary reasons which are not immediately hazardous but which may become so, if no forward-looking decision is made or action is taken.

● Cautions: Cautions shall indicate a condition which does not warrant an alarm or warning condition, but still requires attention and out of the ordinary consideration of the situation or of given information.

All above alert categories require acknowledgement, except for cautions.

Alert management complies with IEC 61924-2 and IEC 62288 for the display. This compliance allows easy interfacing with a centralized alert management system of the BAM or CAM type on the bridge.

Additionally, each alert carries the following status information:

● Active / inactive

● Acknowledged / unacknowledged (except cautions)

● Active - silent (except cautions)

● Active - responsibility transferred (except cautions)

For each event raised, the system provides:

● A unique event identifier

● Event class

● Event category

● Timestamp

● The event message

● Whenever possible, a suggested action message containing a description of the action that should be undertaken by the operator to respond to the alert

● Whenever possible, a list of subsystems impacted

3.2.2 LIST OF ALERTS

The list of the Navigation alerts is given in section 6.5.4 List of the Navigation Alert Messages, page 84.

The list of the technical alerts is given in section 6.5.5 List of Technical Alert Messages, page 87.

26 NIX-D03066A - November 2020

3.2.3 ALERT LIFE CYCLE/ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

All the alarms and warnings that have not been acknowledged are flashing in the dedicated

GUI.

Figure 8 - Alert life cycle detailed

An alert can have the following states (see Figure 8):

● Active – Unacknowledged: initial state for alarms and warnings.

● Active – Silenced: Alert condition still present, but silenced by operator, only valid for alarm.

● Active – Acknowledged: alarm and warning only.

● Active - Responsibility transferred: alarm and warning only.

● Rectified – Unacknowledged: alert condition rectified, alarm and warning only.

● Active: for cautions only, persist until alert condition disappears.

Persistence of alerts

All ac knowledgeable alerts are stored in a database until acknowledgement. In a redundant setup, each Netans has its own database of alert instances. There is no synchronization of these alert instance databases.

Alert log file All the alerts are stored in a log file for each Netans. The raised and possibly acknowledged dates are logged in this file.

NIX-D03066A - November 2020 27
