Icon DP
A positioning product from Rolls-Royce
Icon DP
is a range of dynamic positioning (DP)
systems from Rolls-Royce. The systems
comply with the IMO requirements to DP
Class 1, 2 and 3. Poscon joystick is another
system in the Rolls-Royce positioning
product family.
Icon DP graphical user interface - specially designed for intuitive touch-screen operations
Icon DP systems
comprise one or several operator stations,
control cabinet, network and power supplies.
The cabinet contains computers and input/
output (I/O) modules for interfacing to
sensors, position reference systems, thrusters,
rudders, power system and other DP related
equipment.
Unique operator station flexibility
in bridge integration is possible because of
the design of the main components:
A pair of space effective operator devices
A touch-screen display
From the operator devices important and
most common DP functions are accessible
at hand - including system activation,
command transfer, silence alarms, selection
between automatic or manual heading and
position modes. New heading set-points are
generated by the heading wheel and relative
position changes are generated by the
small joystick lever. For safety precautions,
all operational changes require two-step
action by the operator (e.g. double-press
or accept).
The compact operator devices provide
Icon DP console
DP on bridge wings
can be obtained by adding an extra operator
station. A compact version is available where
the large display is replaced by a 10 display.
Icon DP in operators chair
is a popular and ergonomic solution for many
vessel types. An additional 10 touch-screen
display can be mounted on the armrest.
Fact Sheet
Heading indicator
Factory-tuned systems
are delivered by carefully configuring each
Icon DP delivery with detailed vessel
parameters, thus avoiding time for trial and
error during sea trials.
Standard Icon DP functions
cover all basic modes of operations that are
expected from a modern DP system. Optional
functions for more advanced DP operations
are available, see below for examples.
Icon DP capability plot.
Follow target
is an advanced DP function where the vessel
tracks a target object (e.g. remotely operated
vehicle or surface vessel) by maintaining a
relative distance and bearing to it. If two or
more relative measurements are available
(from one or two individual sensor systems),
the Icon DP vessel can track the objects
heading.
Way-point tracking
is the function for steering the vessel along a
path defined by way-points. Way-points can
be defined on the DP system or imported
from a data file or data link to a navigation
system. The planned track is clearly indicated
Capability analysis
is a decision support function that computes
the vessels positioning ability in different
environmental conditions and failure scenarios.
Built-in trainer
is standard for all Icon DP systems, providing
an efficient way for onboard familiarisation
with the system. The trainer even includes
the vessel specific power system configuration,
i.e. generator, motors and switchboards.
Efficient thruster usage
is obtained by combining the Rolls-Royce
know-how on propulsion and vessel design with
sophisticated algorithms for thrust allocation.
