PART 1 - INTRODUCTION
1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The HS 2000 is a fully integrated power boat instrumentation
system that displays information obtained from various sensors on
a choice of displays positioned throughout the boat. Information is
fed from the sensors to a Main Processor via a high speed
communications network. From the information gathered by the
sensors the Main Processor distributes information to the various
displays, and can carry out a wide range of functions such as boat
speed, trip log, depth, sea temperature and tidal information.
These functions are controlled from a Full Function Display (FFD).
A typical system is shown in Figure 1.1 - Typical HS 2000 System
Block Diagram.
1.2 PROCESSORS
1.2.1 Main Processor Unit
The Main Processor Unit is the heart of the system and is
responsible for monitoring the data from the sensors. The sensors
measure the following:
Depth
Boat Speed/Log
Compass Heading
Sea Temperature
From this information the Main Processor Unit is then able to
calculate the following additional functions:
Average Boat Speed
Bearing to Waypoint
Bearing Waypoint to Waypoint
Course Over Ground
Dead Reckoned Course and Distance
Distance to Waypoint
Next Waypoint Distance
Speed Over Ground
Stored Log
Time to Waypoint
Trip Log
Once this information is calculated, it is distributed to the displays
via the communications network.
