CompassNet
Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine has designed the CompassNet heading management system to deliver an unrivalled system solution for comprehensive multiple heading management control. The CompassNet system uses Ethernet connection for all communication between the connected heading sensors and the heading distribution and heading management system. A complete new set of heading sensors, both spinning mass and fibre-optic, will be available for connection to CompassNet. CompassNet provides you with a system that is both reliable and easy to use.
CompassNet offers many benefits, including:
- Low cost and ease of installation
- Reduces the complexity of installation
- Simplifies operational performance and guarantees improved reliability and navigational safety.
- With less wiring, it’s quicker, easier and less expensive for you to install and commission. Because there are fewer connections, it’s also easier to connect a range of additional equipment to enhance your heading management requirements.
- Outstanding performance
- CompassNet offers improved system redundancy and resilience, avoiding multiple functionality of hardware in a multi-gyrocompass system. It also offers “plug and play” functionality and reduces the number of Control and Display units required.
- Key to the function of the CompassNet system is the Data Distribution Unit (DDU) with 1 or 2 processor boards, depending on the system configuration, the Control and Display Unit and the heading sensor(s).
- The performance of CompassNet is further enhanced by integration with our new NAVITWIN V control and display unit and allows the connection of up to 5 heading sensors
- Improved efficiency
- CompassNet is an integrated system that incorporates the NAVITWIN V control and display unit (CDU), the Data Distribution Unit with integral processor board(s)
- Variety of configurations
