AP70/AP80 | Addendum for sw release 1.2
¼ Notes:
- The toe angle is a work profile setting, and must be enabled for current work profile to be
available
- The Toe angle is only available if the vessel has 2 rudders. It applies only to rudders
located on the side of the ship - it will have no effect on a rudder located in the ship
center.
- The Toe angle is effecting all operating modes except Standby and NFU.
- When the feature is enabled, one rudder will stop moving before the other one if max/
min rudder angles are demanded
- When the feature is enabled, the rudder bar on AP70/80 and QS-/NF-/FU80 shows rudder
command instead of measured rudder angle
Minimum rudder
Some boats may have a tendency of not responding to small rudder commands around the
course keeping position because of a small rudder, a rudder deadband, whirls/disturbance of
the water-stream passing the rudder or it is a single nozzle water jet boat.
By manually adjusting the minimum rudder function, the course keeping performance might
be improved on some boats. This will however increase the rudder activity.
¼ Note: Only set a value for minimum rudder if it proves to give a better course keeping
performance in calm sea. It should be set after the autotune has been performed and a fine
tuning of the rudder parameter.
