1 General
This Nav Data Repeater can be used either as an Digital Navigation Data Indicator or as
an AIS and VDR Interface for:
-- Older Gyro Compasses and Speed Logs.
or
Conversion of older NMEA position and speed telegrams
see section 1.4.6
At the application of an AIS and VDR Interface the selected navigation data will be
displayed also.
The version NG003 serves for RMG CAN--bus application (see section 6). This version
converts, independent of the input format, heading anf RoT information to a RMG CAN--
bus output (NSC--Radar application).
In this manual mainly the application of the operational features for the navigation data
indication are described, the application for the AIS and VDR Interface is basicly de-
scribed as connection hints and basic--settings of DIP--Switches and jumpers.

1.2 Nav Data Repeater used as AIS and VDR Gyro Interface (Gyro/Log--Interface)
The task of this Nav Data Repeater (as AIS and VDR Interface) is, to transform analog
heading information in that manner, that the heading can be used as a serial NMEA 183
format for an AIS or VDR equipment.
The Digital Navigation Data Indicator makes available the following indications:
(input serial NMEA sentences).
Priority is given to the Heading indication in connection with tendency indication of the
ship’s direction of turn by means of a LED bar moving to the left or to the right,
resp.
As regards the indications of Heading and Speed, the device is to be activated by
means of analog interfaces or via a digital serial interface.
As far as the indications of R.o.T. and Set heading are concerned, the device is to be
activated via the digital serial interface only.
If there exists no serial data transmission circuit, the device ascertains the R.o.T. indica-
tion from the analog compass signal (by differentiation of the heading signal).
The Digital Navigation Data Indicator can be incorporated as a module according to
the unitized system
-- into desks and steering stands
-- into a casing intended for bulkhead and ceiling mounting.

NAV DATA REPEATER
A tendency indication in the form of a LED bar is intended to indicate course changes.
The luminous marks move to the left or to the right in accordance with the ship’s direc-
tion of turn. The velocity of motion is proportional to the ship’s rate of turn.
The key gives the possibility of changing over the digital indication to the indi-
By means of the , a display test can be performed and the tendency indication
Information for the processor--supported Nav Data Repeater can be received via several
interfaces:
a) By serial data transmission from modern gyro compasses or navigation com--
puters. The data transmission comprises the Heading, SetHeading, Speed and
R.o.T. information. The transmission is absolutely unambiguous.
A synchronization of the heading transmission to the gyro compass is, therefore,
not required.
or
b) By analog signals from conventional systems
-- for heading indication with electro--mechanical transmission procedures
-- for speed indication with incremental pulses per nautical mile.
With this type of heading transmission, a non--repetitive synchronization to the
gyro compass is required, as the transmission is ambiguous.
Both with serial and with analog input data, the information can be transmitted via a se-
rial output to further indicating units.

1.4.6 Data conversion of GLL/VTG telegrams and analog compass heading data
There are older GPS--reveivers, with a telegam--output (GPGLL and GPVTG) according
NMEA 1.5 or 2.0. Normally telegrams according NMEA 1.5 or 2.0 are not recognized by
actual AIS--equipment. With this option it is possible to operate an AIS--equipment also
with those older GPS--receivers.
The GPGGA telegram is used to convert the data into a GPGLL position--telegram ac-
cording NMEA 2.3. This format is accepted by an AIS--equipment.
The GPVTG speed--telegram is read in and extended by the respective mode--flag ac-
cording NMEA 2.3. This mode indicator is filtered out of the GGA data.
Both input telegrams (...GGA and ...VTG) are necessary for a proper use.
Mode indicators:
A = Autonomous
D = Differential
N = Not valid
Heading and RoT information are fed to the RMG CAN--bus if available.
2 Operation Instructions
In order to activate the display test, the key is to be pressed and held in the
pressed condition.
After pressing the Test key, the status of the rate--of--turn indicator changes
-- from ON to OFF, or
-- from OFF to ON
Test procedure:
• Checking the luminous indication for defective segments:
All indicating elements are switched on one after another from the left to the right
until all segments of the luminous indication are alight.
Set Hdg
• Dimmer test
The illumination of the lettering of the keys with luminous panels is dimmed
according to the rhythm of the luminous--bar or luminous--marks test as well.
The indicating elements go out again in the same order of switching them on.
For cleaning, no etching means must be used. No special maintenance of the indicator
is required.
The complete Nav Data Recorder is to be exchanged in case of need.
Relais output
-- in case of system failure the corresponding relais indicates the failure state.

Fig. 18 Operating elements for synchronisation
After switching on the Nav Data Repeater (switching on the supply voltage)
shows folowing:
-- Display (Fig. 18/1) indicates 000.0
-- LED Heading (Fig. 18/2) lights up
-- Luminous--bar (Fig. 18/6) flashes
A. m. combination indicates, that a synchronisation procedure must be performed.
Syncronisation procedure:
Operate button Syn-- (Fig. 18/4) first, hold it down and operate Sync+” (Fig. 18/3) sec-
ond.
Operate button “Sync--” (Fig. 18/4) -- together with “button “TestSync+” .
By this, the synchronisation mode is activated.
An activated synchronisation mode is indicated by swapping LED--row of
the luminous--bar.
Now the bottons “Test Sync+” or “Sync--” have to be operated dependend on the
direction of the heading value (“Test Sync+) to higher values, “Sync--” to lower values).
When the synchronisation value is indicated, the button “Dim/Enter” (Fig. 18/5) has to be
operated to enter the selected value.
6 RMG CAN bus appication (Navigation Data Repeater Type 133--812 NG003)
This application converts input synchro (step) signals to a RMG CAN--bus fotmat.
The RMG CAN--bus output contains heading and RoT information. The RoT value is cal-
culated by the Nav Data Repeater derived from the heading input.
The RMG CAN--bus is a Multi--Master--Bus allowing the connection of all devices and
systems regardless of their task and fuction. This means that any number of devices can
be connected. These devices must be designed for RMG CAN--bus technologie.
For the RMG CAN--bus it is essential that every bus user is addresable via a unique ad-
dress. This address is set within each bus user.
The usable address range is from 01(16) to 3F(16) (address 00(16) is reserved for devel-
opment purposes only).
Please note: The device address for Nav Data Repeater 133--812 NG003 is 3F(16).
This device address is only changeable by flashing a changed software.
Each bus user can send and receive data via this RMG CAN--bus. In this application
(NG003) the RMG CAN--bus is used to send data only.
The RMG CAN--bus must be terminated at both ends via an ohmic resistor (120 ohms).
This terminating resistor is activated by a jumper on the CAN--bus Adapter PCB in the
Nav Data Repeater.
