G210-13/4.0 15
Kongsberg DPS 232
2.3 Processing Unit description

The unit is designed to fit standard 19-inch racks and is typically installed on the bridge
or in the instrument room. The unit comprises the following main parts:
• Compact flash card
• Hard disk
• Serial I/O board, Ethernet and computer main board
• Power supply
• GNSS receiver
• IALA beacon receiver
The power on/off switch, LAN port and USB connection are
located under the lid on the left part of the front panel.
The rear panel of the unit contains communication interface ports for interfacing to
external sensors. These ports are individually galvanically isolated.
Note
The USB ports are not compatible with USB 3 devices.
2.4 External input and output serial lines

The Processing Unit communicates with external equipment through RS-232 and
RS-422 serial lines. The number of serial lines with input of DGNSS corrections is only
limited by the number of available communication ports. Output data are position, time
and velocity to navigation computers, dynamic positioning systems etc. No hardware
16 G210-13/4.0
Product description
or software handshake is used on the serial lines. Heading from a gyrocompass or

similar device is also necessary. See the Installation Manual in References on page 103
for more detailed information.
2.5 Networked architecture

The NAV Engine (core signal processing and position calculation) and the HMI Engine
(Human Machine Interface) are running independently from each other to ensure
continuous and reliable operation. The unique system design separating the HMI Engine
and the NAV Engine in separate processing environments prevents unintended events
in the user environment interrupting core signal processing. The system design with
optional remote operator stations (HMI) connected via a network allows for flexible
installation in DP class 1, 2 and 3 environments.
2.6 Absolute position determination

This system exploits all available combinations of GNSS signals for operations in
challenging environments. It combines dual frequency GPS with dual frequency
GLONASS and SBAS, and provides increased availability and enhanced performance
when operating in highly obstructed environments, and in areas with high ionosphere
activity. The number of visible satellites is crucial and the addition of GLONASS to
GPS significantly improves all aspects of satellite navigation. Even in open areas where
sufficient GPS satellites are available, the accuracy and reliability could still be affected
by poor satellite geometry.
The system comprises a signal processing core with advanced algorithms and true
parallel processing of all available differential correction data. Differential corrections
from several sources should be received in order to increase the system reliability and
accuracy. The system combines standard RTCM services, free to air services (IALA,
SBAS, VHF/UHF) and high precision services. There is no practical limitation to the
number of correction signals and reference stations handled by the system. When used
with High Presicion Services, a worldwide accuracy of 10 - 20 cm is possible.
This system has a built-in autonomous real-time quality control feature continuously
monitoring the quality of the calculated absolute position. Alarms and warnings are
activated if critical tolerances are exceeded or if position quality degrades.
Heading input from a gyrocompass is required to display heading and speed information
in the system. Heading input is required in order to utilise the built-in lever arm
compensation. The lever arm compensation in the software enables selection of several
monitoring points on the vessel for which position data can be output.
G210-13/4.0 17
Kongsberg DPS 232

G210-13/4.0 21
Kongsberg DPS 232
The Target Monitoring View (TMV) may appear both in View 1 (the largest view) and
View 2 (the upper right view) of the windows. The TMV contains the same information
in either view; only scaling is changed. The TMV appearance is controlled mainly from
the Chart menu.
The TMV is layer based. This means that it is
possible to display multiple layers of information
for visual presentation at the same time. The default
setting after installation is that no chart background
is selected (i.e. Blank). Other illustrations in this
manual will indicate the use of e.g. C-Map ECS.
Common to all background selections is that the scale
and view may be changed by zooming and/or panning in the TMV.
The appearance of the Speed and Link status bars is controlled from the Bars section
in the View menu. The circular buttons in the Link status bar may be clicked to open
the DGNSS Monitor.
The area indicated as Position or DT/BT will change if a target is selected or deselected.
With no target selected, the position of the currently selected monitoring point (indicated
in the upper left corner) is displayed as indicated in the figure on page .
As soon as a target is selected, this line changes to display distance (DT) and bearing
(BT) to target, and the involved monitoring points on own vessel and selected target are
both indicated in the top left corner of the TMV.

3.4 Sky view

The Sky view display shows which satellites the system is tracking and using in the
position computation. The satellites are presented according to satellite geometry. The
grey outer circle represents the elevation mask. Satellites under the set elevation mask
are marked grey. The satellite azimuth angle is according to the north-south axis.
G210-13/4.0 27
Kongsberg DPS 232
In the upper left corner, the number of GPS satellites tracked and used in the position
solution is presented.
In the upper right corner, the number of GLONASS satellites tracked and used in the
position solution, is presented.
The colours of the satellites is illustrated.
Satellites marked grey are disabled as they are not used directly in the position fix,
e.g. satellites under the elevation mask.
The bar(s) at the bottom of each satellite represent(s) the
signal-to-noise level for the satellite, and the longer the bar,
the stronger the signal.
The upper bar represents the L1 signal-to-noise level, while
the lower bar represents the L2 signal-to-noise level.
28 G210-13/4.0
When the cursor hovers over a satellite symbol,

a tooltip will appear with the status of the satellite
including azimuth, elevation, L1/L2 signal-to-noise
ratio and differential correction availability.
If the vessel has a gyro interfaced, the display shows
the vessel's true heading.
The shadow sector may be configured from the Operator software configuration dialog.
It has no effect on calculations but will assist in explaining why some satellites are not
used in the position fix.
The Sky view is configured in the Sky view tab in the Operator software configuration
dialog. It is possible to enable or disable the correction satellites, the signal bars, the
track plot and the shadow sectors.

• Configuration of Sky view on page 70
3.5 Speed view

The main function of the Speed view is to give information about the speed and heading
of the vessel.
Longitudinal and transversal speed (SL and ST) are presented together with arrows
indicating forward/astern and port/starboard movement directions. The vessel outline
indicates the orientation of the movements. It is possible to display SL/ST with two
decimals. It is also possible to display the arrows with red colour if the vessel is moving
astern or towards port. Additionally, the vessel indicator and arrows may be turned 180
degrees in order to display correct directions when the operator station is facing astern.
The vessel heading (HDG) is input from an external gyro sensor. Arrows and COG are
not displayed if SOG is below the limit set in the configuration dialog.
Note
The displayed speed values apply to the antenna position only even if the position is
displayed for other monitoring points.
G210-13/4.0 29
Kongsberg DPS 232
Invalid values are indicated as – – –. If HDG is invalid, the colour will alternate between
black and red.

3.6 DGNSS views

There are two DGNSS views, DGNSS status view and DGNSS age view. Both views
indicate the status of the available correction links.
All links are indicated using green colour if correction data are received and used in the
position solution, yellow if data are received but not used, red if no data are received
through that link, or light grey if the link has been disabled for some reason.
Status of up to 9 correction links may be displayed. Each link is identified by its name
as defined in the software configuration. The number of reference stations used in the
position calculation and the number of reference stations available are indicated for
each correction link.
30 G210-13/4.0
Figure 4 DGNSS status view
A tooltip is displayed when the cursor hovers over a correction link. The tooltip displays
information on the specific correction link.
The DGNSS age view presents each link as a circular button and presents a bar that
indicates the quality as the age of the corrections received through that link. If a bar
is filled green, the correction signals are newer. The older the signals are, the shorter
the bar is.
If the bar is grey, the age of the corrections has exceeded the maximum age, and the
corrections from the link are not in use. The maximum age for using differential
corrections is set in the NAV Engine →Standard configuration view.
G210-13/4.0 31

3.7 Heading view

The Heading view appears if you have enabled a heading link in the standard
configuration Communication interface →Input/Output →Heading link.
The Heading view indicates the vessel heading based on input from two DPS systems.
Two indication modes are supported: North up and Head up. This is configured from the
System→Operator SW configuration tool, General tab. North up is default.
See the DPS Installation Manual for setup of heading link.
32 G210-13/4.0
Figure 6 Heading view, North up Figure 7 Heading view, Heading up
When North up is selected, North indicator has the same colour as the rest of the items
on the dial and the arrows indicating the heading are black. When Vessel heading up is
selected, the North indicator is black and the heading arrows on the dial are grey.
If the calculated heading status is reduced, the heading is indicated with yellow text.
3.8 Integrity view

The Integrity view indicates the integrity of the system position. It is always located in
the lower right view (View 3).
The DQI bar indicates the quality of the position. If the quality of the position is less
than 5, the background colour of the bar changes from grey to yellow. If it is less than 2,
it is red.
The Error ellipse describes the position quality and the geometry of the position solution.
The colour of the ellipse indicates the quality/integrity of the position. The colours used
are the same as in the System status field of the Top bar.
A RAIM exclusion and detection algorithm is implemented to detect satellite failure.
The integrity indication for different position accuracy levels is expressed in three
states that satisfy the requirements. The states are Safe, Unsafe and Caution. These
states are indicated with different colours (green, yellow and red) on the error ellipse
in the Integrity view. The position accuracy level is configurable from the NAV Engine
→Advanced configuration (the value is displayed as the outer circle on the axis). Default
value is 10 m.
G210-13/4.0 33
Kongsberg DPS 232
The system integrity value is often referred to as the horizontal external reliability. It
gives an indication of how large a horizontal position error might be, at the condition of
an arbitrary undetected satellite failure.
Safe (green) indicates that the system accuracy is below the selected accuracy level and
that a single satellite failure cannot make the actual horizontal position error exceed the
selected integrity limit (95 % confidence level).
Caution (yellow) indicates that the system accuracy is below the selected position
accuracy level but a single satellite failure might not be detected. If such a satellite failure
is detected, the actual horizontal position error might exceed the selected integrity limit
(95 % confidence level). With only four satellites (three when height aiding is chosen),
there is no way to detect a satellite failure, and the system will always be in the state
Caution or Unsafe. The expected accuracy and HDOP might still be reasonably low.
Unsafe (red) indicates that the system accuracy is above the selected accuracy level
(95 % confidence level)
Configuration
The position accuracy level is configurable (95%) from the software advanced
configuration (the value is displayed as the outer circle on the axis). Default value is
10 m.
34 G210-13/4.0
The EPE (Estimated Position Error) is a position quality parameter for the DGPS
position. The figures are 95 % CEP. Unit is metres. The time span in the graphical plot
of the EPE is 250 seconds in the horizontal axis.
3.8.1 Quality assessment of position data

Quality assessment of GNSS data is equally important as highly accurate positions. The
methods for quality assessment implemented in this system are in accordance with
Guidelines on the use of DGPS as a position reference in DP control systems.
The parameters used are:

3.8.2 The DQI figure

The quality indicator DQI is a single integer between 0 and 9, which reflects the status
and quality of the position solution.

An important point to note is the prerequisite for the successful pass of a statistical test.
The statistical methods used are in accordance with Guidelines on the use of DGPS as a
position reference in DP control systems in References on page 103.
Bearing in mind the number of parameters present in the $DPGGA sentence, it is
sufficient for the DQI to provide a statement of the status and quality of the positioning.
DQI values 5 to 9 represent a grading system under normal operating conditions.
The DQI is passed along with other quality indicators and each raw unfiltered position
into the DP control system. These indicators are put into free (null) fields in the NMEA
0183 standard format $GGA to produce the new $DPGGA format.
In addition to providing a meaningful and easily assimilated indication of DGNSS
quality, the DQI also gives an indication of improved or degraded positioning. The latter
could give a countdown to system rejection, enabling suitable action to be taken in
advance. This is impossible when using only a DGNSS good/bad indicator.

selected as the position format. UTM position is presented in north and east distance
and UTM zone. In addition, False Northing, False Easting and different Zone options
may be specified when selecting the UTM Options arrow.
When False Northing is selected, positions south of the equator will always be presented
as positive in the TMV. A fixed offset of 10 000 000 m is added to the northing value to
avoid negative coordinates in the southern hemisphere.
False Easting is always selected and causes a fixed offset of 500 000 m to be added to the
true easting value, thus avoiding negative coordinates.
The position may be entered in other formats or datum using the Format and Datum
drop-down lists. Available datum is WGS84, ED50, NAD27, MINNA, ARATU Bahia,

3.12.2.3 Alarm circle
The system can monitor the current position according to alarm circles and issue alarms
if an alarm circle is crossed. This is typically interesting when using the Current position
as target (temporary target) or when the vessel shall keep a position above a well head.
If the measurement position of the vessel crosses one of the alarm circles when moving
away from the target's position, an alarm is issued, and the crossed alarm circle will
blink. The alarm state is cleared when the vessel moves inside the crossed circle. A
hysteresis is applied to avoid frequent alarms in the circle zone.
The radius of the alarm circles is set in the target editor's Alarm Circle tab. To enable the
alarm circle, make sure the Enable alarm circle check box is selected.

3.13.1.1 Satellite prediction

During some periods the satellite coverage over some areas is rather poor and in addition,
operations close to large equipment will often result in shadowed satellites and decrease
the number of satellites available. This is a major risk for safety operations.
The Satellite Prediction application is a helpful tool to plan an operation where good
accuracy throughout the operation is necessary and it will help the operator to plan when
a safety operation could take place and to identify periods of poor satellite geometry.
The satellite prediction is based on the satellite's almanac data received from the GNSS
receiver.
When opening the Satellite Prediction application, the current date, time and position is
set as start values. In addition, shadow sectors are drawn as inserted in the Operator
software configuration dialog, Sky view tab, while the elevation mask is drawn as set in
the NAV Engine configuration. The default duration of the prediction is set to 24 hours
but may be changed to 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 hours. To change start values, insert new values
and press the Recalculate button to update the graphs and sky view.

The vessel heading is displayed in the satellite Figure 19 Adding sector into the
prediction application identical to the heading Satellite Prediction Sky view
input to the system. However, it is possible to
drag the heading indicator to any heading and
see how this affects the graphs.
It is possible to add shadow sectors. Right-click
over the Sky view area, click Add sector and
a new sector is enabled. The new sector is edited
by dragging and placing it in the correct place.
Also the default sectors may be edited. After
adding and editing sectors, press the Recalculate
button to update the graphs. Click the Reset
sectors option to delete the added sectors. Only
the sectors drawn in the Operator software
configuration dialog, Sky view tab, will remain.
To remove a sector, right-click the current Figure 20 Track plot

sector and select Remove sector. In the Satellite
Prediction application it is possible to disable
satellites. In the Sky view, right-click over a
satellite and select Disable. The satellite will
turn grey and the graphs will display the number
of satellites and HDOP where this satellite is
omitted. To enable the satellite, right-click over
a satellite and select Enable.
By dragging the Time indicator with the mouse,
the satellite constellation will change according
to the time shown by the Time indicator and the
Time selection. PageUp and PageDown or the
left and right arrow keys on the keyboard also
operate the Time indicator.
When using the PageUp and PageDown keys, the Time indicator will jump in greater
intervals than if using the arrow keys. To set the satellite constellation to a specific time,
input time in the Time selection box and press Update.
If the Track plot option is enabled, the satellites' orbit will be plotted when dragging the
time indicator. The track plot assists in determining if a satellite is rising or falling in
elevation. The length of the track plot is the same as in the Sky view and is set in the Sky
view tab in the Operator software dialog.

The General tab is used to define the role of the Operator SW running either on the
Processing Unit or on remote HMI Units connected to the system. The HMI unit role
section provides role selection. Full control is the default for the Operator SW, and when
selected, the operator can modify NAV Engine configuration and control the Processing
Unit operation. When Monitor only is selected, the operator can only view Processing
Unit configuration, and the operator can only restart or stop the Operator SW or HMI
Unit. It is recommended that only the Operator SW running on the main Processing Unit
is given full control in order to avoid unintended configuration changes or system restarts.
The General tab is also used to define track plot length, bearing calculations and speed
and course over ground settings.
The Track plot length parameter defines the length of the track plot displayed in the TMV.
The track plot is defined by number of points, e.g. with a data rate of 1 Hz, a 300-point
track plot shows a track of the last 5 minutes.
The EBL and DT/BT calculations can be configured to use true or relative heading.
Using true calculations, the heading is calculated with regards to true north. When Use
true bearing is not selected, relative heading is used. Relative heading is related to the
vessel heading, not to true north.
It is possible to configure the colour of the speed arrows in the Speed view. Default the
arrows are green both starboard/port and forward/aft. Select Use red arrows for port/aft if
red arrows to port/aft are preferable.

3.14.3.6 UTM options

The UTM Options tab controls how UTM positions are treated by the application.
When selecting False Northing, positions south of the equator will always be presented as
positive in the TMV. A fixed offset of 10 000 000 m is added to the northing value to
avoid negative coordinates in the southern hemisphere. When selecting False Easting, a
fixed offset of 500 000 m is added to the true easting value to avoid negative coordinates.
The UTM standard uses false northing and false easting, i.e. the co-ordinates are never
negative. In case negative northing or easting is wanted, deselect the check box.
Note
It is not possible to deselect False Easting
The UTM zone is automatically calculated by default. The Auto extended zone option is
only applicable between 56 degrees to 64 degrees north and 3 degrees to 6 degrees east.
The 32V zone is extended west to 3 degrees east, so when selecting the Auto extended
zone in this area, zone 32V is used. When outside the current area and Auto extended
zone is selected, the used zone is equal to the zone used when selecting Auto zone.
When selecting Auto zone, the system zone is automatically calculated in accordance
with the inserted co-ordinates.
76 G210-13/4.0
Selecting Manual zone makes it possible to define which Zone and Zone offset to use.
The Zone offset option allows a fixed offset to be applied to the longitudinal degrees. The
UTM zone can be offset up to ±3 degrees. The zone offset is typically used where the

This system consists of both software and hardware. The software part can be reinstalled
or upgraded to the latest version in the field. Service on the system hardware in the
field can consist of:
• Exchanging damaged antenna cables
• Exchanging failed GNSS antennas
• Exchanging failed Processing Unit
This system is not designed for service in the field and opening the housing will result in
damage or degradation of the unit and void the warranty. The system requires a skilled
technician to maintain most of the hardware service.
4.1 Periodic maintenance

Some activities should be carried out on a regular basis to maintain the condition or
operational status of the equipment.
4.1.1 Cleaning of air inlet

The air inlet at the rear of the Processing Unit needs to be cleaned regularly to avoid
overheating of the unit. The period between each cleaning is dependent on the air quality
at the installation site. However, we recommend that the filter should be cleaned at
least every six months.
Remove the plastic cover and replace the filter or clean the filter either by washing
with mild detergent or vacuuming.

4.1.2 GNSS antenna care

Excerpt from GPS702-GG-N and GPS-713-GGG-N User Guide, NovAtel Inc.
The GNSS antenna is designed to withstand the elements, including rain, snow and dust.
However, to ensure your antenna performs optimally, keep the radome (top surface of the
antenna) clean and brush off any ice and snow. In addition, ensure the N-Type connector
remains clean and dry and replace the dust cap when a cable is not connected.
4.1.3 Changing the fuse

If the unit does not receive power, it could be
because of a blown fuse.
Procedure
1 Disconnect the power connector.
2 Open the fuse holder below the power inlet gently with a screw driver.
3 Within the holder there are two fuses, one in use and one spare. Remove the
innermost fuse and replace it with the spare fuse.
4 Close the fuse holder.
5 Connect the power connector and turn the power switch on.
WARNING
If the fuse has blown, the cause for the fuse failure must be
investigated.

This part of the document is written for personnel with operator experience when a
situation arises where assistance from service personnel may be required. The aim of
this section is to identify the problem so that the appropriate action can be taken.
4.4.1 System status

The error conditions in the system are usually observed by looking at the system status
field in the Top bar or the four LED indicators located on the front panel.
Related topics
• System status on page 20
4.4.2 No power
If the LED indicators are not lit when powering the unit, it may indicate that the unit
does not receive power.
Procedure
1 Check the power connection to the unit(s).
2 Turn the power switch behind the lid on the front panel off and on two or three
times in case of poor connection.
3 Check the fuse within the power connector.
Related topics
• Changing the fuse on page 86
4.4.3 No connection
The HMI and Processing Units communicate through a data layer. If the connection
between the units is broken, the HMI will show this situation as indicated in the figure.
Recommended action for broken connection

1 Check that the network cable between HMI and Processing Units has no defects and
is properly inserted to the network ports.
2 Inspect the connection parameters in the Operator SW settings and in the NAV
Engine configuration. Further information is found in the Installation Manual.
G210-13/4.0 95
Kongsberg DPS 232
4.4.4 No cursor
The cursor may hide important information. For maximum visibility, the cursor is
hidden after about one minute with no user activity. Simply move the mouse again
to re-display the cursor.
4.4.5 No zoom buttons

The zoom buttons may hide important information. For maximum visibility, the zoom
buttons located in the map area are hidden when the cursor is moved away from the
buttons.
The zoom buttons will always reappear when the cursor is moved towards the upper right
corner of the map area.
4.4.6 No satellites tracked by receiver

During operation a situation may occur where no satellites are tracked by the receiver.
• When operating close to offshore installations, part of the horizon might be shadowed
(by e.g. a platform) resulting in blocking of the GNSS signals.
• Faulty antenna cable or connectors
• Faulty GNSS antenna
• Software or GNSS receiver hang-up or defects in the GNSS receiver
• Faulty communication setup parameters for the GNSS receiver in the Configuration
file, see the Installation Manual in References on page 103.
96 G210-13/4.0
Maintenance
Procedure
1 Shut down the Processing Unit using the shut down procedure.
2 Turn on the unit again after a couple of minutes and see if the problem is solved. It
will usually take up to five minutes before the position is stable after a reboot. In the
boot up sequence the GNSS receiver is reset and this may solve the problem.
3 If the situation is unchanged, check the GNSS antenna and the coax
cable/connectors. This is described in the Installation Manual.
Related topics
G210-13/4.0 97
Kongsberg DPS 232
4.4.7 Few satellites tracked by receiver

A problem with few satellites is very often Figure 39 Error ellipse with few
due to shadowing of the GNSS antenna satellites tracked by receiver
or poor antenna connectors or cable. An
example of the error ellipse and status
is shown the figure to the right. This
situation is often experienced on vessels
working close to offshore platforms or
other shadowing objects. If the problem
is assumed to be due to water penetration
in the antenna cable or connectors, measure
the cable and antenna in accordance with
the Installation Manual see References on
page 103.
4.4.8 Loss of differential

corrections
Loss of differential corrections may be seen
in the Link bar at the bottom of the TMV.
If there are several differential correction
links interfaced to the Processing Unit, a problem with one of the links may not degrade
the position solution. If all the links are missing, the position will be severely degraded
due to the non-differential position solution. In this situation, the DQI bar will turn red
and the DQI number will be 1.
98 G210-13/4.0
Maintenance
Figure 40 System with one differential link missing
4.4.9 Satellite differential correction systems

Differential corrections to the system are very often applied by using a demodulator
which receives data from either a Spot satellite or an Inmarsat satellite.
The status of the demodulator and the reception of correction data can be monitored
through the display window of the demodulator. For operation and troubleshooting of
the demodulator, see the respective user manuals.

3 The IALA antenna should be protected from direct illumination from radar beams
and other transmitting antennas. If the antenna is close to transmitting antennas,
move the IALA antenna.
4 Check if the system is grounded as recommended.
Note
The system cabinet must be connected to a grounded outlet.
5 If the signal is still unstable, contact Kongsberg Seatex.
4.4.10.2 No IALA signal

The status of the IALA differential link changes from green to red if the differential
corrections are lost or missing.
What to do if the IALA signal is missing

1 Shut down the Processing Unit using the shut down procedure.
2 Power on the system again after 30 seconds. This will reset the IALA receiver and
might fix the problem.
If the signal is still missing, continue the procedure.
3 Check if the vessel is near an IALA station and is supposed to receive IALA signals.
4 Check if the antenna and the antenna cable are connected properly.
5 The IALA antenna should be protected from direct illumination from radar beams
and other transmitting antennas. If the antenna is close to transmitting antennas,
move the IALA antenna.
6 Check if the system is grounded as recommended.
Note
