Structure and Function

V1 13

3 Structure and Function

3.1 General Function

The Embedded PC AHD 1200 is integrated into the vessel’s moni-

toring and control system and adapts device types by external

manufacturers into a Böning ship alarm, monitoring, and control

system. AHD 1200 reads supported protocols (NMEA 0182,

SAE J1939, etc.), processes them (PLC-functionality), and sends

the required information to a redundant CAN bus or for rendering

on ship displays.

In addition to the data taken immediately form the vessel, data

from external video sources can also be transmitted to displays for

viewing. The video sources can be selected with e.g. the Control

Unit for Color Displays and Monitors with Rotary Push Drive AHD-

DRM R and the Control Unit for Color Displays and Monitors with

Trackball AHD-DRM T. Additionally, operating elements for chang-

ing the displays’ video sources can be set up in the visualization

configuration.

The configuration software AHD-DeviceConfig configures the inte-

gration into the vessel’s system.

Six CAN interfaces with standardized plug connectors are available

for connecting the unit to the ship systems.

Data from external devices, such as a GPS receiver, can be read

via the RS232 interface.

3.2 Mechanical Structure

Designed for wall mounting, the Embedded PC AHD 1200 encom-

passes all the processor-controlled electronics and standardized

interface plug connections in a compact unit. A passive cooling

system eliminates the need for fans and air vents in the housing,

thus achieving a maximum degree of reliability.

The device is mounted with six M4 screws.

All device connections are pluggable and have been led to the de-

vice front, making it possible to install the device quickly and safe-

ly. The device’s frontside protection class is IP 20.

The elimination of mechanically movable components, such as

hard drives, renders the device impact resistant.

Specially developed for use on board of ships, the box is complete-

ly maintenance free.



14 V1

3.3 Device Electronics

The Embedded PC AHD 1200’s central unit is a 1.6 GH dual core

microprocessor that reads all incoming data and requests in the

supported protocols, providing all required information via a redun-

dant CAN bus in the ship system.

All necessary data can be stored on a 4GB flash disk.

The Embedded PC AHD 1200 includes an internal voltage control

which secures the required internal supply voltage. Therefore, the

device’s supply voltage fed by the external distribution can vary

from 18 V DC to 32 V DC (24 V DC +30%/-25%).

For increased operational safety, all communications interfaces are

galvanically isolated from one another.

3.4 Interfaces

6 interfaces to the CAN bus integrate the device into the ship sys-

tem. With the Universal CAN Converter AHD-UCC and the Proto-

col Converter Modbus AHD-UIC, additional protocols can be read

via the SAS protocol used.

CAN interfaces 5 and 6 are intended for the remote bus, which

provides commands for selecting video sources and controlling the

displays from e.g. the display control units AHD-DRM R and AHD-

DRM T.

The integrated RS232 interface can be used to connect e.g. a GPS

receiver.

The video IN port (BNC, coupling) receives data from an external

video source, e.g. a camera, for viewing on a display connected to

the AHD 1200’s DVI OUT output.

The VGA interface receives data from an external video source for

viewing on a display connected to the AHD 1200’s DVI OUT out-

put.

The DVI IN interface receives data from an external video source,

e.g. radar or electronic sea chart (ECDIS), for viewing on displays

connected to the AHD 1200’s DVI OUT output.

The DVI OUT interface transmits video data for output on a con-

nected display. The maximum resolution is 1024 x 768 pixels

(XGA) or 1080 x 1024 pixels (SXGA).

Data from the video sources connected to the Video IN, VGA and

DVI IN interfaces or video data provided by the AHD 1200 can be

sent from this interface.

DVI OUT



V1 15

These interfaces are used for connecting e.g. an AHD-DPU 9,

AHD-WNL, or a printer.

These interfaces allow for connecting external storage media, a

mouse, or a keyboard for operating the displays.

The four optocoupler inputs are primarily used for accepting ac-

knowledge requests.

The five relay outputs are primarily used for switching external

alarm indicators.

3.5 Electronic Data Processing

The Embedded PC AHD 1200 reads the ship data via the vessel’s

CAN bus, processes them, and makes them available via the CAN

bus to other devices, such as displays.

During the configuration process with the configuration software

AHD-DeviceConfig, basic properties for the visualization of ship

data, their processing, and data transmission via the AHD 1200 are

configured.

When configuring the display of values and statuses, the languag-

es used for controlling the ship are set up. Furthermore, the availa-

ble units with their necessary conversions, texts for displaying sta-

tuses and formats for displaying numbers, date and time informa-

tion are set up for viewing. These can be combined for selecting

country specific display settings.

When configuring data processing, the properties of the captured

system buses, devices, and their inputs and outputs are set up.

During the configuration of the system buses, their functions (ship

alarm system, engine monitoring, watch standby system and con-

trol (conning)) are also set up. Furthermore, basic settings for trig-

gering alarms, their viewing on displays, and the activation of event

log entries are configured.

During the configuration of the devices existing in the system bus-

es, their properties as well as the motor protocols used (MTU BR

2000, MTU BR 4000, MTU Serial, SAE J1939, NMEA 0183), and

among others, basic settings for triggering and viewing alarms on

displays are set up.

Accordingly, channel types (binary, analog) are set up when confi-

guring the physical and virtual channels. With both types, the

channel’s presentation on the displays, among other things, can be

configured. With analog channels, detected sensor values, their

conversion into physical measurands, as well as alarm triggers and

sensor errors can be configured. Channels can be combined into

groups, e.g. for group alarms.

Channel and group values can be combined for user defined func-

tions and can be used for controlling e.g. relay outputs. The availa-

ble functions encompass common mathematical calculations and

special functions to use the AHD 1200 for monitoring and control-

ling ships.

Furthermore, control devices (receiver), interfaces, and relay out-

puts, are configured in the configuration.

TIP!

More information for configuring the AHD 1200 with

AHD-DeviceConfig can be found in the correspond-

ing configuration manual, which is available from

the manufacturer upon request.

TIP!

The configuration that has been set up with AHD-

DeviceConfig and stored in the device cannot be

changed e.g. from the vessel’s displays when the

device is running. You can only select preconfi-

gured settings from the ship displays.

Please contact the manufacturer or an authorized

representative, if it is necessary to change the con-

figuration.

3.6 Configuration

When configuring the AHD 1200, one must distinguish between

two configuration types:

– System configuration with AHD-DeviceConfig

– Visualization configuration with AHD Display Designer

During the ship’s system configuration with AHD-DeviceConfig, the

AHD 1200’s integration into the ship’s system is configured.

Among others, this process determines how ship data are

processed and how alarms are triggered and processed. In addi-

tion, basic settings, such as languages, units, and the presentation

of values and statuses on the ship displays are set up.

The configuration with AHD Display Designer determines how

measured values, statuses, and operating elements for controlling

the ship are rendered on suitable displays.

More information for configuring the device with AHD-DeviceConfig

can be found in the AHD-DeviceConfig operation manual and the

device’s configuration instructions.
